Got me one - Thanks guys!
 

So I broke down and finally ordered a Cross-bow today.

Excalibur Vortex:D

I have been lurking on this board for quite a while to see what you guys feel is the best out there... It basically came down to the Excalibur's and the Ten Points.

I LOVE the ten points, but the cost to me is too prohibitive for the one I want (Phantom). I went to the Ohio Deer and Turkey expo today and looked at them, they are really amazing, but at nearly 2 grand, while I could afford it, I see no reason.

The Vortex is everything I am looking for; a powerful, fast, great looking, short thumbhole stocked, cross-bow. I purchased the "Right Stuff" package, with the scope.

I will be shooting Slick Tricks with it, but haven't decided on bolts and/or stings... I will see how the ones that come with it are before swapping them out I guess. By the way, Slick Tricks are amazing, I shot them with my Bow last year and at 20 yards was able to put it through the shoulder blade of a mature doe and take out both lungs!

Thanks again!

Congratulation! I shoot an excalibur as well. You did good thing to buy whole pkg. it saves you alot of $ in the long run. The excalibur x-bows are deadly accurate, good choice and great hunting!

gratz....you won't be sorry you went with an excal.:D

Thanks guys!

To me I am somewhat utilitarian in my hunting implements. That is I buy the best I can, which will provide me with great results. I will not probably become "addicted" as the cross-bow is more of an excuse to do what I love... hunt. It will give me more time in the woods!

Having said that, do you guys hunt with other "tools". Here is a list of my tools of the trade...

Deer Rifle - Kimber Longmaster Classic (.243)
Varmint Rifle - Rock River Arms Varminter (.223) - AR Variant
Muzzeloader - Thompson-Center Omega (50-calibur), thumbhole/fluted
Rifled Shotgun - H&R Slugster Deluxe (20-gauge)
Turkey Shotgun - Camo Mossberg 500 (12-gauge)
Compound Bow - Diamond Liberty (55-pounds)
Cross-bow - Excalibur Vortex:D
Target Pistol - Kimber Team Match (.45 ACP) - 1911 variant
Self-Defense pistol - Springfield XD (9mm) w/M-6 light/laser
CCW pistol - Kahr PM9 (9mm)
rimfire pistol - Ruger Mark II
Upland Shotgun - Ruger Red Label (12-gauge), english stock

I guess that would be my go-to list.
