Reasons we sold Prior Excals ?
I curious as why we do things that come back to bite us in the butt!
I maybe one of the worst offenders on the Forum on the sellin n buyin. My dumb reasons Speed, smaller over all, too long power stroke on short arms. Too heavy n so on. I have regrets on sellin several of mine, wish i had the funds to replace them

Re: Reasons we sold Prior Excals ?
Hmmmm, I traded an old max to buy my M380 and sold a brand new nox i bought because it was such a great deal. I pieced three more bows together with custom anodizing, custom stock, and Y25 stocks. And now, I somehow have number five on the way to me by way of Jeff sending his micro 355 to a loving new home! Sell them, heck Mike, I'm now trying to figure out how to stop adding to them....and let me tell you, Mr. Boo has been no help at all. Then Anthony adding to the stable after swearing up and down he was done! Well, have you ever been going hunting or fishing at around five AM on a weekend and saw a neighbor's daughter walking home all disheveled wearing clothes obviously worn the previous evening? ....seems I'm now doing the shooter's walk of shame!

No problem Paul.

I blame it on Excalibur. If they would stop coming out with better bows I wouldn't have a need for a change..lol
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

I have yet to sell an Excal, but I haven't been in this game as long as most of you.

Re: Reasons we sold Prior Excals ?
I don't know about better. I really think that M380 is about the perfect all around bo. But, aadding the micro 355 will give me something from each generation. That's my story and I'm stickin to it!bellerivercrossbowhunter wrote:No problem Paul.

....The only bow I really sold was one I bought and never shot....Monco Morto the IBEX...now residing safely in the arms of Longbowjoe...I am told that he is giving him the proper loving I just could not!

Sold a Vortex to buy the Matrix 355 in '13 using a Dunham's Sports 30% off coupon, which I received another 30% off coupon today. The M355 size and speed suits me well. Can't remember the last deer I took past 20 yards with any kind of bow? I'm done, I think the M355 is equivalent to the Vortex, bullet proof no issues here...

Re: Reasons we sold Prior Excals ?
A college chum stopped by Sunday AM to pick up my trusty old Exo Mag, is going to shoot it a bit and see if he wants to keep it. If he decides to keep it, it'll be the first one I've let go.
With my new "Boofest" 330, I couldn't see keeping the old guy, along with the Micro and the 380.
It took me awhile to get on the "Matrix" bandwagon, but they are nice.

Re: Reasons we sold Prior Excals ?
I started off in 96 wid a E'cet 165 carved tip limbs. I kept it til 05 when i sold it to buy the new Phoenix. Then i traded the Phoenix fer the E'cet. Then i bought a 98 vixen, then i sold the E'cet n bought anudder Vixen, an anudder an anudder n so on. I bought a E'max n it was really long on power stroke n i sold it, n got anudder Vixen n bought a 165 from Boo. 2 yrs ago i had a terrible brain fart n sold every Vixen i had to fund my buyin spree of newer model Excals n the rest is history wid several regrets along the way. My latest is i let my cuz talk me out of my 165 last yr.
I still have Captain Morgan n still waitin on Awshucks to come Home. I am very sure i had it better when i had most of my Vixen's
