Hi all,
My name is Scott and I'm from Fairbanks, Alaska. I've just purchased my first xbow, The Excalibur Phoenix, which is set to arrive from Cabela's on Thursday. Recent surgery on my shoulder made switching to a crossbow from a compound that much easier to do, since it was something that I've always been interested in trying. So, here I am!!!

Good to see you here, Scott. This is a great website with some real interesting characters, but crossbowmen and ladies everyone. Any questions, ideas or thoughts about our sport that you might have, make sure to share them on the Ex-site. We would all be Ex-sited to hear them.

Welcome Scott!!!!!!!!
I've been too busy to be online much lately, and had a few days without internet service while I moved, so I'm a bit slow in saying hello.
I think you will like your Phoenix. That's what I hunt with, and it's an awesome crossbow.
