Excalibur Vs TenPoint

[TurkeyRookie]

Hi all,

Posting this on behalf of my father.

Currently he has an excalibur crossbow and loves it, the only drawback for him, is the one he has is a bit long, he has to reach around the bow to get the draw strings as he has short arms.

He is selling that one to my brother and currently shopping for another bow. The dealer where he is, is trying to push a tenpoint crossbow and he just isn't sure.

Does anyone have any experience with tenpoint corssbows, any recomendations/comparrions?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Tks.

I shot a tenpoint before...now i shoot compound, i absolutly LOVED the ten point! MUCH MUCH quieter then the Excal and very smooth! I had no problems with the TEN point!

I can't wait to see how this thread develops. This is my favourite crossbow argument.

Cheers,

I shoot the GT-Flex by Tenpoint, I have had no issues with it.

No matter what bow the guy is pushing make sure he gets the one that fits him the best, time to shop around.

Has much as Excalibur is regarded as the best x-bow out there on this site; Ten Point is often the top pick on other websites.
I wont argue which one is better in my opinion, but I think that both brands offer top quality products.

They are both excellent companies from what I understand, I've only owned the Excalibur but I contemplated getting the 10pnt before I decided to go with Excalibur. I assume the ten point is also a recurve limb rather than one of the compound styles?

I was shopping for an xbow last year, tried a lot of brands and end up with a Ten point. I really didn't like the size of the excal, and found the Ten point quieter and fit me the best of all. So far I had no issue with it. Btw, I don't need a xbow that can be roll over by a truck!!!

I think both are very good.If I was him I would get the one he likes the best. Excal is made in Canada though.

this is going to get good,

I sold an awful lot of excals and they come as advertized, simple reliable, great CS and made local.

That being said,after watching a friend get hung on everything in the bush during last years moose hunt, I want one of those ultra slim, narrow limbed ten point jobbies.

LOL. You know...this always happens to me - running over my equipment with my truck after it falls out of my tree stand. I'm sure it's a common thing for most hunters....
