I think I do a good job of stickin up for us Squirrel, But you seem to be taking care of Dnk just fine. But I noticed that It looks like your are being double jumped now that smokeolehall is in so I'll help you out! HORTONS RULE!!! If your want to stand in a tree with something that is as wide as it is long, than excalibur is the way to go. But if you want a CB thats been around for a long time, that is a deadly and stealthy as it looks then you can only settle for the best, HORTON! ( sorry Dnk, I have to help the little guy out! )

No difference, they are all Hortons!!!!LOL Please some one save Moe before I say the E word.............LOL!
Ok, Ill try to be civil.... try... here goes.............. Excalibur....sorry!
I would probably go for a middle of the road xbow, high speed has its paybacks. But then again the real tree Horton looks way too cool to pass up. If I didn't know better I would buy a Horton that goes 300 fps. That is a good speed but then again so is 270. As a mechanic I would understand that everything has its costs. The higher the speed the higher the maintenance. I am sure that 270 would be fast enough with the correct broad head but on the other hand 300 would probably be wasted and dumped intot the ground on the other side of your pig untill you hit bone. Go for 300 ftps! This post will put you back on the top and maybe you'll get and educated opinion.
