Hey Josh, welcome to the forum. :D You'll love your new bow. The stock arrows and bolt cutters will get you started and certainly perform solidly. If and when you're ready there are other options out there that will yield better results and even tighter groups as your range is extended. The suggestion I'd like to make is to get a stringing aid. You'll need this to make any adjustments to your brace height (string length) as your string settles and stretches. Danny Miller of Horizontal Archery is the best place to order stuff and don't hesitate with any questions, there's a wealth of knowledge here. Again,welcome. :D
You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.

....I came across the Excalibur name...and laughed when I saw those funny looking bows...with only one string...none of those fancy cables that EVERYONE else had and like those that were found in most archery shops...that was NOT what I wanted....I wanted cool and how could a one string, recurve be cool or fast?....

...but I made the mistake of looking :shock: :shock: :shock:....that still, inner voice kept dragging me back to their web site....my mind said keep looking...I could not stop...I became addicted to learning about them...only to learn they "are" cool and fast...but more importantly; deadly accurate...

...as if it was done specifically for me to seal the deal....Excalibur brought out a totally new line called the MATRIX...shorter, faster, narrower, and just like the force that dragged me in; BLACKER...the "Blackout"....it called and screamed my name..."Anthony, Anthony :oops: :oops: :shock: ...I had to have one....than another, than another (thank The Lord I only have two boys)....

...the Dark side as it always seems... treated me well... the "Blackout" couldn't miss... it shot like it was possessed...6 for 6 including the boys....I was happy and done :D ...but NOOOOOOO :cry: :cry: :shock: :shock: ...Excalibur was not done with me....

....I laughed at those with more than one Excalibur...Why have more than one?....they don't break...and live on into eternity....

....then the Voice started again....Excalibur again made another XB this time TRULY for me the Micro 335....I fought the dark side...I would not cave in, I would not...I am much stronger than that....I held out; but only for a couple of weeks....

....somehow as if in a dream a Micro335 arrived at my door along with other accessories....stop, stop, stop....I told the Voice..It quieted down...Phew, I am safe....OR SO I THOUGHT....

...That Dark Voice is alive again....My Blackout is rearing it's ugly head wanting a true duplicate of itself.....Help! Help! Help!....This can only mean welcome to my "Nightmare"....as I woke up at 3:35am in a cold sweat....

....it's no use fighting it!

....Welcome to the family...Hahahahahahahahhahaha :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Anthony :)
