Well, I finally got tired of the recoil in my muzzleloaders. (i'm an old fart). So, a crossbow sounded like a good way to go. I just bought a Grizzly last night.

It looks kind of awkward to carry. How do you guys do it? Can it be carried with one hand? Do you use a sling?

I think a sling is a must have, and any Excalibur is a excellent choice..enjoy...

Love my Excalibur. I normally just throw it over my shoulder but a sling would more than likely make it a ton easier.

Great choice Muley!! I have an Ibex an love the challenge. They are a cumbersome weapon tho, but deadly accurate!!

You'll enjoy your Excalibur Grizzly. I just picked one up myself. I already have the Equinox which I've been shooting and hunting with since 2011 and as much as its fast its a tank to carry. I specifically bought the Grizzly for its Matrix limbs and smaller stock. I'm 5'11" and almost have to tippy toe to cock the Equinox, No problems with the Grizzly.
Have fun and enjoy!
