How long....

Post by Arkbow »

Have you been hunting with a crossbow? 15 plus years for me; been in archery for over 34 years; started with compound, but hunt with nothing but excalibur now; wished I started alot sooner than I did;

Owned & carried a crossbow for several years before I found out about Excalibur. But I have only been serious about crossbow hunting since I shot my first Excalibur about 10 years ago.

Vortex - Just over a week, but I had a nice browning compound a number of years ago. Crossbows have only recently been permitted here in Nova Scotia.

I'm loving it, I'm rolling with all the defaults with my "right stuff" package until I figure out what upgrades are a must, if any, seems to be working fine as is.

Wanted to get into bow hunting but a shoulder injury caused me to look at crossbows. So it was a couple year addiction till my shoulder healed and switched to a compound bow. Would definitely consider another excalibur some day.

I've been shooting bow and arrows for over 44 years and due to an ACV had to change for a crossbow for the last 4 years.

I was strictly guns until I bought my first Excalibur. It was a 165 lb. Exocet.
Anyone here know how long I've been shooting crossbows now? :wink:
