Good Looking Bow
 
Hi guys, just say someone you know is thinking about Xbow hunting and they don't want to spend a lot of money, and they told you they are buying this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagename=S TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=22008424757 0&rd=1&rd=1
[/align]What you tell them? I'm really new to Xbows, but don't this look sweet?

I had heard that Reb broke the Hitch Dumper when they hit aome gravel which was a little larger then graven in the whiping action for it ........ but I did not hear that he was a rough on regular toilet seats as well.

NOTE TO SELF......... if Reb everr comes over or near ........ LOCK THE DOOR TO THE OUTHOUSE ........ can't afford to have that broke, espically in the winter [:o][:o][:o][:o][:o][:o]

I think any bow that gets you out there is a good bow! Everyone has to start somewhere, at the very least it is an affordable way to see if the sport is really for you.

Sorry Pydpiper but I have to disagree with your statement. First and foremostis that you need to make sure the bow is safe. I have seen more then a few crossbows in my life that werre not safe to shoot. Not only was the trigger mech not dependable on a few, you couuld not tust it to actually hold the string back. Other bows were so cheap that they made themselves very difficult to use and shoot. It made it an unpleasent task to even shoot, so how would you get an honest opinion on if you would like it or not.

I have always advised and will always continue to advise new people to crossbows to save a little longer if they have to, to get a good quality bow. It does not have to be a $1500 bow, but one of quality in workmanship and saftey.

Hey REB ........ I do not use an outhouse as WE up here in Canada are civilized and have plumbing but we keep outhouses just for guests like you so you will be comfortable to use what you normally use.

well, i have seen some very expenive xbows breakdown too, but joey, i would have to say,"yes i would try it" jus to play with and have fun on weekends.......and i hate to say it, but i think its cabable of takin a small deer with it....its not the fps that kills the deer , its the energy being used is what kills the dear, u only need about 70-90lbs of energy to take a deer down, and thats a proven fact for whoever posted that site lastweek, on fps and energy on bolts and grains................jmo

Pydpiper I have never ever heard of an Excalibur of hving a "catastrophic trigger failure" as you say. I have been in the crossbow world for over 25 years and have perrsonally seen how these triggers have been put together. There is not much to the triggers which could cau se such an event. Not saying that it would not happen, but it would be extreemly rare.

Now with the bow from Tiwan ........ I would not touch it at all. These are mostly made for a cheap price and they are not that worried about quality. Also, if you need service for this bow, whre would you have to go to get it fixed.

Just my thought on this.

Grumpy, I just sent you a PM to clarify. Now you can't say you never heard of it..;)
