Re: New to crossbows.

Both are excellent ! You can't go wrong with an Excal. Both are smooth and easy to cock and very, very accurate. I'd give an advantage to the Vortex : - A tad more powerful - Better polish and finish I'd personally go for.... an Exocet, which has same specs as a Vortex but I prefer traditional grips...

At 40-50 yards range, the speed difference between the bows is almost unnoticeable.
Both are equally accurate and if you take good care of your serving and grease it regularly, your strings will have a long lifespan.

Went to a hunting shop that sells a few Excals and a lot of compounds crossbows... But didn't carry any bolts for Excalibur. Bummer.
