It' s evil, and it all was started by Chad (LBR) and his sale of my first Crusader. But as the evil Saddam CHADsain said, " you have to shoot alot of bows until you find the ones (plural) that you like" Well I' ve shot a miniscule # of bows, as compared to what' s out there, over the last several months, and my 2 favorites at this time are the Crusader and Selway II Lil Shooter. I have to admit that the Lil Shooter is giving the Crusader a run for the favorite. I know this will be a contoversial statement (Chad close your eyes), but I' m shooting the Lil Shooter better than my Crusader. Now I' ve shot the Crusader hands down better than any of the other bows I' ve owned and tried, so I was amazed at my shooting. While shooting my Lil Shooter yesterday I robin hooded one of my purple heart footed shafts, darn
. I think the fact that the Lil Shooter is cut just past center makes it a bit more forgiving to my newbie shooting form. I' ve limited my shooting and bow ownership to the Crusader and Lil Shooter, that is until the next great bow comes along

well....I ain' t trying to play " mine' s bigger than yours" but the longest list on this thread would be about like one 15 month period for me. I' d buy one and shoot it a couple months, sell it, then buy another. I have slowed down now, but It was/is a wonderful addiction! I have a wall with pegs for the ones I won' t sell(two Saxons, 1 supershrew, 1 selfbow, and today my new crusader earned a peg)
It came in this evening' s mail. 64" , 55lbs at my draw, black locust under black glass on the back and under clear glass on the belly. A takedown with a nice red stripe running full length. I put it together, stuck a nockpoint on it about where I thought it ought to be, and shot a 2016, 2018, ML8 fiberglass, 67spine cedar, and 61 spine tapered sitka spruce all into 8" at 23yards! No fishtailing, no porposing.
Oh yeah, and this was with the goofy, fat endless string that came on it!
