I've been trying to get into the crossbow world for a while now, but haven't had enough time to hunt the past few years to warrant buying one. Finally, this past winter I sold my Oneida Extreme Eagle, and now have forced myself to buy something!
At 5'8" tall and about 155 pounds in weight I'm not a big guy. That said, I've been thinking that perhaps the Matrix Sapphire would be a good entry level crossbow to get me in the game. I've only shot a friend's Equinox, which is what turned me on to Excalibur in the first place, but have never actually owned or hunted with any type of crossbow.
I hunt some pretty tight spots where my average distance to target is about 15 yards. I can stretch it out to maybe 25 yards in some lanes, but after that it gets real twiggy.
Any advice on the Sapphire, or other Excalibur models, is greatly appreciated in advance.
Thank you!
