I'd have to go with Excalibur alllllll the way.
But I did find it cumbersome in the bush with stupid twigs and other really annoying small vegetation yanking on my limbs.
I still would go with Excalibur - the simplicity of the design allows you to fix it on the spot - unless things really go south (i.e. broken limbs etc. but that just generally doesnt happen).
I could imagine the tenpoint being a real bugger (pulleys) if the bowstring snapped or frayed.
You got this right.... I can't believe how many people are referring to Excal customer service. Sound like you have to deal with them quite a bit, probably why they are good at it:D !!!Quote:

That's because trying to achieve the same power out of a much smaller package puts a lot more stress on all the mechanisns involved. You're trying to launch an arrow at 300 FPS for example with a 14" power stroke as opposed to a 28". This is why you have a 175 lb. limb system as opposed to a 60 lb. limb system with a typical vertical compound. There is a lot more stress on pulleys, limbs, cables etc.. I've never heard of a compound vertical bow flying apart in the feild or on a target course but I know of several instances where it's happened with compound crossbows. One of the guys I shoot 3D with has had it happen three times. He's gone back to his Excalibur now.Quote:

It is easily agreed upon, if you take care of any tool, it should last longer than expected unless there is a freak defect.
Compound bows and compound crossbows are two different beasts. TPM hit that one right on the nail.Quote:

Made in Canada doesn't matter anyway,who cares?? Stuff made in China is well known for reliability and quality construction.
