I went to bow shop in waterloo, I got to shoot the different crossbows by Excalibur, the micro was an awesome bow, I found it quieter and a lot easier to keep a steady shot from a standing position. my question is.....Is the 16.5 inch arrow bolt length legal to hunt game with, is there a 20 inch minimum?

I'm going to purchase a Micro 335 tomorrow at The Bow Shop. (Still undecided on nightmare or camo) My question is what type of broad head are you more experienced hunters using for turkey. I seen these guillotine broad heads that go for the head to save the meat. What are your thoughts? Anyone?

....I would probably use the same BH that you will use for deer hunting but that is more of my opinion than anything else...I had the same query myself and decided why change when I am familiar with my set up...I would rather hit the bird and retrieve it than worry about hitting a smaller moving target and missing with a different BH than I am familiar with...

....now for which one to buy....well that really is not a question....everyone in the know 8) knows that the.......Nightmare 335 8) ....is by far more cooler and has a much better finish than the RT Camo....those turkey will just come right to you just to get a glimpse of how cool that precision instrument is...you just have to make sure that you don your black leather jacket and dark sunglasses when you put it together...

....I hope that a gave you an objective opinion in helping you reach a very important decision in your life :lol: :lol: :lol:

PS...oh did I mention that I own the ...Nightmare 335 8) ...if not I do and may I say I love it!

Thank you very much for your reply and the laughs.........I understand what you mean on getting a good kill. I think I will buy the BH that Excalibur makes and just use it the bolts the micro comes with I'm new so I don't want to get to confused lol

At the rate this is going, do you think the Micro will be Excalibur's all time best seller?

Absolutely. As soon as this westher breaks and spring starts to show. I can see if there is room in the barn to set up to 30 yards but will most likely be tight for another month full of equipment.
