finally got the time to build a target and shoot around 30 shots with my new exuinox. what a bow, it was great to buy the bow and right stuff scope package and not have any surprise or hidden costs or needs. and after reading this forum for the last week or so i see what all you like about excaliburs so much. i shot at 10,20,30,and 40 yards and could not beleive it i didnt even have to make any adjustments to the scope and it was dead on.
looking forward to my first season hunting with the x-bow making the transition from compounds.
thank for all the great advice and tips on this forum.
love my new exuinox

Congrats.
I gave mine up because it was just oo hard to cock. Wanting the power, I purchased the Vortex, which is a bit shorter and 25 lbs less draw weight.
THEN, I learned how to cock it easier. Shorten the rope for the manual cocker so that one hook is approximately half way between the string and cocking hooks while the other is on the string. (Yes, that short). Now, place one of the hooks on the string (right side if you're right handed etc), holding the left hook with your heft hand pull the string up to it with the right hand and hook the left hooks as it gets there. Then cock as usual. The shorter sting will make cocking easier. You won't have to rely on bicept strength when the elbows are cocked and back. And, it's much easier on the back becasue you can use your legs more for cocking by just standing up.

The only thing better than an Equinox in my humble opinion is an Equinox and alos a Phoenix for lighter shooting. I love the speed and power of the Equinox, but the Phoenix is just a little slower, but both are right on the nuts as far as accuracy is concerned.
A friend of mine who I fish and hunt with took a shot tonight with the Equinox and put the bolt absolutely dead center on a 2" diameter orange stick on on the target tonight. He said that did it, I'm convinced, I gotta have one !!!
Fine bows. Now all I need is a Vortex to compliment the other two...
