RE: ten point vrs parker
I would go w/ a 10 pt given those choices, no slight to Parker, just don't know much about them As far as I'm concerned you left the pick of the litter out of your question, Excals. The one thing that I really hold against 10 pt is that they have what appears to me to be several different triggers.I shot two of their models off the rack at a Bass Pro, and had I bought either one, it would have been back on the next big brown headed outta town. There is a guy on 10 pts site that just paid $30 plus two shippings to get his trigger down from 7# to 5#. That's well over $15 a pound and 5# ain't great. IMHO, they outta put good triggers on all their models and adjust the price accordingly. If you don't have a decent trigger pull, accuracy is alot harder to obtain. In all fairness, the triggers on xbows are a large part of the price. And while I'm on this soapbox, all models of Excalibur have the same trigger assemblies.

In all fairness, the triggers on xbows are a large part of the price. And while I'm on this soapbox, all models of Excalibur have the same trigger assemblies. I am going to pick at you since we haven't traded shots for a while. Tenpoint offers 3 different triggers so we can give people a wider price range in crossbows. If the Powertouch trigger was in the Titan it would cost a lot more. Thus making it not so cost effective. If triggers are a big part of the price of the crossbow, and Excal has all the same triggers, does the extra inch of barrel and slight forward pitch of the higher poundage riser cost over $100. That makes the $30 for the triger upgrade seem pretty good as oppesed to $100 an inch for a longer barrel. I'm just pokin' at you while you are up on your soap box  Randy |
RE: ten point vrs parker
here we go again.. the heated debate ,, this crossbow has this good feature that crossbow has a bad whatever.. brand loyalty can end friendships.. what does it matter in truth what crossbow whomever buys, in the end are we not all archers / hunters. as long as these heated debates go on between Vert bow users and crossbow useres and now with the different brands becoming such a heated topic , the Anti`s will continue to keep the upper hand.. united as archers/hunters we stand divided as verts / crossbow users and this brand over that brand we fall................

RE: ten point vrs parker
Henry, nicely stated! Now to answer Randy, yes. It costs just a little more fer the longer stock and rail setup. Its 2" more $50 an inch! Thats really cheap fer such a fast shooting brute. Good day.:D

RE: ten point vrs parker
OK Now to answer the original ? 10 pt. Pro Elite because the only 2 Bow companys you picked.My personal choice would be an Excal Vixen or Phoenix.[8D]
