Well, my new xbow arrived from Cabela's w/ a frayed cable. On top of that the rope cocking device that was supposed to be back ordered until 6/1 was now bo'd until 6/29. Let me just say that Cabela's customer service is top-notch. I told the lady that I was very displeased w/ the Horton package as a whole and she is havingUPS pick it up and return it as well as shipping out my new xbow(The Excalibur Phoenix) at no charge.Thanks Cabela's! Everytime I've delt w/ them I've gotten this kind of service. Guess thats why I keep goin' back.

Thats very odd for horton to havea frayed string!! you will be very impressed withthe phoenix i hear it is an immaculate shooter!

Let me re-phrase what the problem was as it appears that my definition of "Frayed" is incorrect. The cable had a couple of strands that were unwound significantly. Sorry for the mix-up.

You are really going to enjoy your new Excalibur! Sorry to hear you had problems, but it sounds like things worked out well.

you're gonna love that excal

Thats a great bad experience! LOL! You won't regret the way things worked out.

Cabelas always cost more but they have always treated me good too. Sorry to hear about your Horton problem. I almost have enough money for a new vortex, but hear there are some people not happy withthe triggers, so now I will need to wait and see how it pans out. Have not been on the Excal site for a while to see if Bill has responded to the complaints about it.

Sounds like I'm getting a winner....Cool!!!

It was a little more money than I wanted to spend but what the heck. I like the fact that I'll be able to change the string out w/out a xbow press. Big plus!!! Seeing is that nobody up here works on xbows.

Give us some info on the new one when you get it. I really like my new Exocet it actually holds a little tighter group than my 10 point; to bad they don't have a good crank cocking mech. like the 10 point,I have to get down out off the tree to use that rope cocker. Lee
