Just starting with Crossbows

Post by Paa Paw »

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out which bow I wanted, but after months of chassing them down I bought my bow. I decided on the Excalibur Equinox. I got my bow a couple of weeks ago, but I am still waiting for my scope. Suposed to be available approximately mid July.

I just recently started to check out the forum. It seems like a lot of friendly people. The scope that I am waiting for is the Twilight DXL, and I am having a very hard time waiting.

I had some flack from a couple of friends at first including one of my brothers, but it seems as though he may be reconcidering. He likes my Equinox and I don't have the scope on it yet. I'll have to work on him.

When it comes to Excaliburs, they don't make them like they used to.

After all it's kind of hard to improve on near perfection, but although the newer models are different, they're just as good, and have extra bells and whistles to boot. :wink:

But I still love him :D I have to, he's the only one have :lol: :lol:

Welcome to the Excalibur forum and the crossbow way of shooting & hunting.

You'll love that tack driver you just bought. This will give you a lot more options when it comes to archery hunting.
