Is this number 5? Do all of your xbows have wheels? Do you ever have to adjust anything? Have your chronied it yet?

No the 3 Excals are recurve. The Maxpoint and the Browning are wheels. I haven't shot them enough to stretch strings or see any difference in them yet. Give me some time! No on the chrony. I can tell pretty much they're all impacting about the same and dropping very close out to 40 yds. 1 came with a Simmons scope and the lines are too far apart for the Excals. The Browning has a Horton scope on it and I have the same problem. 20 and 30 are ok but 40 puts the impact way too high.
I'm shooting 18" bolts out of the 2 bows with wheels and also the Vixen. The others are 20" bolts. The Exomax is faster but at hunting ranges there isn't that much advantage. I feel the recurve ones are slightly more accurate. Same as a longer axle to axle compound is I guess. Still I've managed to tear up some bolts with the Maxpoint.

And what is your "go to" xbow. If you had to choose one which one? Not trying to get "the Squirrel" going. I want to get another Excal but also want to get a wheel xbow later. Just wondering which one and why.BTW nice to see others with class=Excal. LOL HEY SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![&:]

No way, its a Excal wannbie hanging with the Excal are site. We all have to grow up but ya know.....they look up to us like kids to adults. LOL. JK,JK,JK, am not! heheheheheeee. Notice how I never said anything bad about any other xbow at all (Mr Squirrel). But then again, I don't have to! Now don't get all wound up when you see this Squirrel, you know I think they are all good. I'd better stop your ribs must be getting sore while you are at Gander Mountain.
