Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I use them, love them. They fly very well from my compound, and they stay together on impact. They leave a pretty wicked wound path, too.

Ancient Spear Weapon OK'd For Deer Hunt in Pennsylvania http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/01/0124_060124_atlatl_deer.html ...........and why not crossbows?? Probably because the UBP is still vocally adamantly anti-crossbow. or as most of their members call them, crossguns. Of course, the...

Well, I guess I missed them, then. I was at the show, but I was under the impression that the people from Excalibur weren'g going to make that particular show, so I wasn't really looking for them. Oh well, always next year.

Where was this show held? I don't seem to know about this one.

My concolences to you and your friend's family.

Oh, how I wish someone had warned me of this in 1973. It is too late now.

Honestly, I have yet to buy a crossbow, though this may be the year. Spinal arthritis combined with a bum shoulder is making it more and more difficult to shoot my compounds. However, I have been hunting since the age of 12, I am 53 now, and started shooting a bow even earlier than that. That's a lo...

This will sound a bit trite, but honestly, the best bow to buy is the one that feels best and shoots best in your hands.

What part of Pa. do you hail from, Buckslayer? I live in Schuylkill County.

Thank you. I really appreciate this. As a newcomer to the field of the crossbow, this may be a big help. And no, I have not yet purchased one, but it is really starting to look like this will be the year. Even my doctor told me that she thinks it is time for me to switch over. Unless, of course, you...

Well, I don't really know if my e-mail went through or not. I tried twice, and both times, just before I finished what I was typing, it appeared to just send itself. So I really don't know if it sent, or just vanished. Oh well, some days are like that, I suppose.

Ted

Hmm, I guess I should pay a little more attention. Thanks, Mike.
