So this purchase would qualify as a "buy once, cry once" purchase if it weren't a replacement for the first purchase. The first crossbow was acquired on a little tighter budget and some uncertainty about the future of my hunting endeavors with the girls. Now that Kaydence is hooked and I assume one/both of the other 2 will eventually want to try their hand at hunting, I upped our game a little. Excalibur is a brand I recognize as being reputable and their warranty is a great selling point. I like the simplicity of the design and the compact design, plus the foregrip is a perfect fit for our new tripod. Overall, we'll have a more compact and nimble setup, which means more run-and-gun hunting for us. Kaydence is hooked on hunting them like turkeys now, so we'll do a lot more of that this year.
I'll swap out the scope for a red dot, add a sling and will add some comfort to the stock, but we're back in business!
