Not a fishing tale, but I know a lot of our readers are also hunters.
If you want some eyeopening facts regarding crossbows, watch this video.
Who knew that some of the best crossbows on the market failed (exploded or otherwise became unusable, not string failure) after only 200+ shots. Even the best compound crossbow only lasted some 500+ shots.
I recently purchased the Excalibur Axiom, moderate speed (305 fps), 175 lb. pull, but very accurate. The Excalibur bows were still going strong after 3000+ shots.
Very simple recurve limbs, string can be changed by the hunter, in the field, requiring no trip to an archery shop.
This is an excellent video, Thanks aero for turning me on to this fantastic crossbow. I will never need another!
After sighting it in at 20, 30, 40, and 50 yds, I decided to stretch it out.
Here's my group at 60 yds, from a rest of course.
