Well IronNoggin is a Excalibur toting legend...Imagin him with the ability to double down....

If I could justify 2K for a bow well yup I would jump on it and head to the woods....

wonder when one comes out in semi auto?

Shot themselves is right further proof that string guns are not bowhunting. Maybe they can put a box magazine and tripod on the next model

Default Solving A Problem?

I think they are solving a problem that doesn't exist. I guess they have to come up with something new every year but this one misses the target for me. Stick with my Assassin.

I hear ya on this one but I would like to shoot it though....the more parts ya get going the more chances of things going south but Excalibur seems to have a reputation of making reliable, durable equipment...time will tell on this one.
