Looks like a Glock to me. Probably about 10 years.

Thanks Cossack I'll look into it. where is the best place to buy? Danny Miller, USA warranty rep who also makes all the strings for Excal [740] 483-2312. Be forewarned, the factory FFF will creep like crazy when new compared to the one that came w/ bow, and is much less forgiving on a dryfire. Same...

My new camoed Eclipse....with D bars...

I got curious and read a few old posts. From what I read you can actually gain or lose speed depending on which riser you use. Straight riser on my vortex would slow it down. Is that correct?

Mine was the Browning Nomad Stalker. My brother still shoots it today.

I would say yes as those are new bows and some say 2011 model.

I was shooting a Parker 175 lb. compound and recently purchased a Vortex 200 lb Excal. I was worried about cocking the excal cause I have a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder. I found that there is not much noticable difference at all in between cocking the two bows using a cocking rope. At 225 ...

Is this like lawn darts with crossbows? :shock: Looks like a lot of fun. I think you would have done good with the Equinox if you had aimed at about 75 degree's up. :lol: I got almost 400 yds. at 45 degrees. Hank I shot an arrow in the air It came to earth I know just where Though aimed at a buck t...

Terry,

I took a picture with my cellphone. Not too good but I think it will show up.
