I just feel so bad telling this fella to buy an Excal. When so many thousands of those Dortons are crying cause they are in a box and no one buying them![:o]:D:D:D

I was looking at the same two. I think the Excals probably have it.....

I shoot a Excalibur Vortex and like it a lot BUT the Parker Terminator goes hunting. Better trigger, more compact, better balance. Excalibur, being a recurve, is simpler and easier to maintain. But since I make my own strings and cables that's not an issue. If I had to own just one it would be the Parker.
