    Regardless of the price match you'll be far better off dealing locally.

    Re: Crossbow Advice - Excalibur

    all I know is .. In 2006 I got a bow from Texas (Hoyt Pro-Tec w/3000 limbs) dude Valued it at 700 USD .... UPS charged me 227 bucks brokerage ...

    long short .. we traded bows straight across ...I shipped mine the day after he shipped his ... I sent mine post office ... he got my bow the day before I got his ...

    the Moral : Not only is UPS stupid expensive ...its slower than Canada and US Post

    WHY NOT ITS A CROSSBOW NOT A BOW!
    THEY HAVE SCOPES THAT ALLOW FOR TRAJECTORY AND POUNDAGE
    NOT MUCH DIFFERANT THAN AIMING A RIFLE
    A FEW HOURS PRACTICE AND I BET YOULD BE GETTING VERY GOOD GROUPS!!!

    I agree, I'll never have antthing sent UPS again, I dont need it if it is, last experience cost me just as much if I had bought it local, oh, then they lost it, 5 weeks later it came, my fault I should have known to buy local.

    Roebuck, a few hours and your set up with your crossbow, the rest is experience. I looked at the Ibex, it seemed nice, easier to cock, but the equinox is rated for 45 fps faster, I just spent a few more bucks to get a faster bow.

A cocking aid can realy make a difference as well as it cocks the bow center every time.
    appose to pulling to hard with one hand and having it just of center and that will contribute to down range grouping opening up.

    Roebuck, the heavier bows can be cocked fairly easy with a cocking aid, with that said and not knowing how strong or determined your wife is, it could be to much for her, I can do it, I'm 200 lbs, but you can sure feel it, thats why they make the Ibex, go try em. I know women that can beat me in an arm wrestle.

    60 yds seems a little far, depends on how a hunters ethics are, at 40 yds the equinox drops about 16in, so its not to hard to figure the math.
