Ok XBOWERs -- I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a EXCAL 330 and up graded package from Wyvern creations for scope bolts etc. I think it a good choice, but I have never owned a cross bow. But do like the simplicity of a recurve bow.
I don't know why anyone would want the complication of a "compound" crossbow. IMO, recurve crossbows make oh such more sense,
especially when you start looking at lasting value and
never needing to take your bow in to a bow shop for cable adjustments, new cables, new strings (as you can easily do it all yourself with a recurve).
Nick your string while hunting with a compound, and you're done (possibly losing days of hunting). Break the string with a recurve, just pull out a new string from your fanny pack, and in about 10 minutes, you're re-strung without even having to go back to your truck (assuming you also carry the little simple "stringer" in your pack as well).
You'll be hard-pressed to beat Wyvern's price & service. I helped a friend do considerable research recently, and that's where we got it, all customized, and far better than anything we could have purchased as a "kit" from the big retailers. You're dealing straight with true experts who know what they're talking about and know what they're doing. Had it not been for the recent introduction of the EXCAL Micro, my friend most likely would have gotten the Excal 330.
