All great stuff l like the take down especially. I hope the big speeds dont mean limbs gernading. I think they just have to focus on their reliability and simplicity to sell units. From what l see most people just want to see cams and pulleys etc. Its no different than the compound recurve world. In my opinion excaliburs customers are basically mature people who know that paying for a good bow and reliable bow is the way to go. Dont get caught up in the 100 yard fps stupid wars on TV. You will get the customers later on in life that had all the problems with the star wars bows and are tired of the maintenance and breakage. .....mature people maby ......like us. ???? Car companies honda and Toyota dont compete in the speed wars to compete with mustang and Corvettes they just know their place... making reliable products that work and last that's why they dont do layoffs and recalls hardly ever.

Looks like a new scope too.
Tact 100 with aiming points out to 100 yards.
The crossbow market is really heating up. How much better can they get!!

I agree with long bow Joe speed is great as long as they got the limbs correct and they are bomb proof . Reliability is number one once you strart having relibailty issues it is really hard to get your reputation back.

That's a great looking bow and 420 I don't know I have a hard time watching a arrow fly and can't tell where I hit a deer with my 405 even with a lighted nock . I am happy with my bows . think I will save my $ .

LOL
The bow I have @ home shoots over 400fps with a 400gr arrow and I don't need a crank to cock it.
So I'm good for now!!
