Re: Now I am purplexed on which crossbow brand

OK, as an update, I have been researching the Parker Cyclone and Ten Point Turbo. I found an Excaliber Dealer in Cookville, TN that has several Excals, some parkers, and some other brands. I am going to visit him on Saturday (all of this rain has screwed up fishing for a while) and will be able to s...

Re: Now I am purplexed on which crossbow brand

Thanks for all the input. I am not concerned about the maintenance because I have a bow press and have been doing my own bow setups for 15 years, that is part of the fun. Once you get a Matthews setup, it is a very quiet killing machine. I do like the simplicity of the excal. The compound guys alway...

Re: Vertical bow vs. crossbow accuracy

It just occurred to me that I will not have to stand up in the treestand to shoot a crossbow. Have a Lone Wolf climbing stand that has a bracket that you sit un for climbing. Think it will rotate around also to be used as a rest. I am excited about hunting again. Will stop by BPS in Nashville tonigh...

Re: Vertical bow vs. crossbow accuracy

I have bow hunted for nearly 20 tears, first with Pearson bow, then with Matthews for the last twelve years. Killed at least one deer every year and some monsters along the way. Year before last, my elbow started swelling up when I started practicing in the summer so now I can only use a muzzleloade...
