Thanks again all, Sounds like the Ibex is no secret to those who have been in the game. The only small complaint I ever seem to read about Excaliburs is that the limb width is a bit more than with compound crossbows. I'll gladly accept that in trade for the benefits of a recurve limb setup! Let me t...

Thanks to all for checking out the report. Hate to sound like I'm shilling for a manufacturer, but dang, it's that good. And the thing is, they seem to have a business model that a consumer can love... genuine utility in every design feature, rugged construction, modest marketing, mid-range pricing ...

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome! Ischa, huntone, Boo- they say great minds think alike :mrgreen: Somehow in all my browsing I missed anything about the NGSS. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll definitely be looking into it. It makes sense that string silencers would not provide as much benefit ...

new Ibex owner

Hello everybody, new to the forum. Have been browsing for awhile, researching my first crossbow purchase. Picked up a new Ibex package two days ago, sighted in last night... WOW! Fun to shoot, & really thumps that big, heavy foam target. A little background... Shot compound bows for ~15 years, t...
