Due my previous shoulder injuries, I was downright fearful I'd never hunt with pointy sticks again! :-(
Then last year I acquired an Excalibur Ibex. Turned out I could work that one with NO Pain, and it amazed me both with it's Accuracy and Lethal Performance! Didn't take me long to "dress" her up with all the goodies, and by the end of a successful season, I pretty well decided she was a "Keeper".
Amongst the other Forums I frequent, Excalibur's has been both interesting and informative. Recently one of their old hands decided he wasn't quite up to cocking the Exomax bow he had acquired, neither were his younger sons, and he inquired if anyone might be interested in a trade of sorts...
I had already studied the Exomox, know a couple of Gentz that shoot them, and overall was impressed. Decided to chat with the fellow, even though I really didn't know if I was prepared to get shed of the one I already had.
Long story shorter, the fellow turns out to be a rather Fine Man, and we've now worked out a deal to trade the two bows. Keeping all the toys, as with all Excaliburs they are interchangeable. Kinda like trading up from a 270 to a 300 Weatherby mag in my view.

It's going to be some Fun and Interesting to tweak this new one!! Hunting season simply can't come Fast Enough Now!! :twisted:
For those that might want to look, here's the specs on my newest Gal: http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/catalog/crossbow/exomax#2
