hunters saying excals are to big a bulky
lately i have been told by a lot of hunters that they don't like excalibur because they are to big and bulky in a stand. i WAS a horton shooter and i do notice a big difference in the width of the excalibur. but i set up all my own stands and today went i went out to set up i just built my stand to accomadate my excalibur cleared it out slightly wider. i find there is no comparison whatsoever to my old horton ( don't think it will be leaving the house to much this season) so i find it a small sacrifice for the excal to be a bit wider compared to what it gives me as far as speed, energy and of course the biggest thing accuracy. am i wrong in setting up for what i am shooting is this not a worthy sacrifice?
I hunt with an Excal and a Ten Point and would rather go with less weight of the Excal than the less width of compound.

Those guys are just a bunch of sissies!
No, they have a point. The recurve xbow's are wider. Doesn't alter the way I hunt, but, I hunt from the ground. If I had to take my xbow into a tree, I might have an issue. However, doesn't seem like the extra width would be a deal breaker. When you add all the positives and then throw in this small negative . . .it's still a big win in favor of the Excal's.

I'd rather wear out than rust out.

until you fire and the limb hits a tree that the others wouldnt have HAHAHAHAHA
Excals are wider, but you get use to them. If excal could manage a narrow recurve bow that shot the same I'd definitly buy it. Though im 100% happy with the one I have now
The way I look at it is that if I'm in such close quarters that I need to worry about the little extra width - I'm in much too tight of a space!
The only concern I've EVER had was clearance in my ground blind. Not that contact with the fabric of the blind would be a danger, but that it might cause a shot to go astray. I found if I have the Dan Miller quiver attached the arrows in the quiver are a good indicator as to whether there could be a problem or not. If the arrows are very close or touch the fabric I need to hold up on the shot. Never missed taking a shot yet.
