Re: Mag Air

https://excaliburcrossbow.com/ thanks Don not much to see this year Did you see all 3 bows? I personally don't have any great interest in the Twinstrikes but I really find the 380 and the Air bow very interesting. The 380 may be an alternative to my 400 Suppressor. It appeals to me because it isn't...
