My first bow should be...

More importantly - what did the independent testers at outdoor life recommend?

I see that the news that the Excalibur bows are not rated the best has really rocked your belief system Species, you even carry the bitterness to other threads...Haha

Perhaps you are taking this more seriously than I am and did not see the emoticons. My apologies if I crossed a line.

Perhaps you are taking this a little too seriously and did not see the emoticons.

I did originally, on the chainsaw thread, but then saw you came back and edited your post here, so I suspected it was more than just a little humourous banter....we're good

Not sure what your experiences have been but I can assure you that Excalibur ' service and warranty policies are the same as they have always been. My wife took her Vixen in last month with heat damage to one of the limbs. Totally not their fault but they replaced both limbs anyway while she waited, no charge.

My sons bow went through a house fire and they sent new ones to him, no charge. Seems decent to me!!

Me too, limb damage replaced while I waited, no questions asked.

Wow, seems the more I read the more Ill be picking up an Excalibur. Just from the warranty aspect alone it's worth it.

[G.S.]

Anothor thing to pay attention if you looking for used stuff is that some bows come with waranty for the original owner only.

Yeah, I've been there with other products. I'm figuring a used bow with no warranty should cost me 1/2 of what it did retail if it's in good shape. I see people asking almost full pop for used stuff less 15%...
Good thing to keep in mind. Thanks.

Well, it's done. Picked up an Excalibur Micro 335. Just felt right... 270# draw weight though... But what a nice bow!
