Great avatar pic too! :)
The avatar is my son with his first 2 squirrels at 8 years old, he'll be turning 10 in a few days. He shot his first 2 deer last year.

Just bought a new Matrix Grizzly, Bone collector target,dozen bolts, Swhacker broad heads, wax, stringer, and spare string on ebay tonight. This is my first crossbow. I have done a lot of research on this and other forums, but have not got to handle an Excalibur in person. Missouri has just opened a...
