It's pretty sad when you tell yourself over and over...."I'm NOT gonna buy a new bow. Nope, I'm not. Can't make me. Nope"![]()

Then all of a sudden, it's like OMG I gotta have that bow!!![]()

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Nice of Excal to make use of those bottomland stocks from the Wolverines. Still looks good with black grip panels. I found the dealer online that is selling them

Re: I swore I wouldn't....
That’s a great looking bow, and I can definitely relate to having a “bow addiction”. I had a second Stryker Offspring show up at my house yesterday. I don’t want to haul my other one back and forth to Oklahoma, so I now have one for both places.

Re: I swore I wouldn't....
Okay, I repent!!

I was seduced by the sleek Bottomland camo limbs!!

It won't happen again, I swear!!


Said the man with HOW MANY crossbows???

Re: I swore I wouldn't....
....it's funny, I have "sinned no more" when it has come to CB's....I love what I have, including the Scorpyd Deathstalker.....I don't know, maybe it's because I am getting older, or maybe feeling poorer (after purchasing our upstate lake cabin and hunting land), maybe the realization that I don't shoot as much to warrant yet another CB, or maybe just the fact that, in my opinion, Excalibur really has not come out with anything exciting.....whatever it is, I'm glad for this....now for you Andy....I will keep you in my prayer!


PS....that camo pattern, seems very close, if not exactly like the vintage '80's Trebek camo, no?

And "Thank You" for the prayers, I need ALL I can get!!

The camo is very much "Old School". That's what sold me. And yes, I do believe that is very much like that particular line of camo. If memory serves me correctly, I do belive I had a pair of coveralls in that exact pattern way back when!!

When Excal revealed the new "Wolverine" in the Mossy Oak Bottomland camo, I thought, "Now that's a cool looking bow". But I'll say this out loud, I am NOT a fan of the 'cease-fire" fire system on the new models. I know A LOT of folk's love 'em... I simply see it as a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of thing.
Folks say the trigger is better in that unit also. To me, none of my Excals have a bad trigger.
I had to give "The Boss" a handwritten note that was notarized saying I'm NOT buying anymore bows.

But she never said I couldn't buy more "goodies" to go with the bows I already have!!

Re: I swore I wouldn't....
Did said note happen to list all the bows you own at this moment in time? Does she have a photo of them? How good is her memory? Are you allowed to hold someone else's bow at your home?AJ01 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 3:43 pmI know Anthony, I swore I wasn't going to buy another bow, but alas, I did succumb to temptation!!amythntr wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 9:34 am....it's funny, I have "sinned no more" when it has come to CB's....I love what I have, including the Scorpyd Deathstalker.....I don't know, maybe it's because I am getting older, or maybe feeling poorer (after purchasing our upstate lake cabin and hunting land), maybe the realization that I don't shoot as much to warrant yet another CB, or maybe just the fact that, in my opinion, Excalibur really has not come out with anything exciting.....whatever it is, I'm glad for this....now for you Andy....I will keep you in my prayer!![]()
