I have an Excalibur Micro 335 and love it. My daughters use it as well. Very compact but does have some weight to it. It is also extremely accurate and easy to work on!! I just switched the string out for the girls this weekend, and it was done in 2 mins and didn't need any tuning afterward. It is extremely easy to cock and uncock using the aider. I bought mine from Wyvern Creations. Great service and great prices!

You need to shoot a Wicked Ridge M-370.
Wyvern Creations is the place to order from. 10 point locks down the prices... Wyvern will give you extra stuff... or no tax and free shipping.

We have one and Love It! About $550. Range. Find a bow shop and shoot one. If you like it tell them you'll be back on pay day and then go home and order it from Wyvern...🤣

I don't see this as a problem. It is only in your head it is a problem. I mean. . . .as the officially dubbed "world's worst deer hunter". . . You can carry a clothes hanger up there or a shoe string as your weapon. It isn't going to make a difference as long as you live up to your self appointed title. 😁

So, I find myself really interested in thus thread today.

A few years ago I realized my eyes were not young anymore, I could either focus on the pins, or the target but not both. And the rims of my ever enlarging glasses were getting in the way of my peep. So I switched to a crossbow. I bought the killer instinct furious 370 and have had nothing but trouble with it. The first season, the trigger broke and I spent months going around with KI trying to get it fixed. Customer service is abysmal. The bow itself is also very heavy and I had a lot of issues with the cheek height. I never really enjoyed shooting it. But, it's what I've got, so I'll use it... until today...

I'm not even going to mess around with KI, I'm gonna throw this piece of crap in the trash and upgrade.

After reading through this thread I think I've figured out that I should go to Wicked ridge, Ten point, or Excalibur. Lol...
I'll be shopping tomorrow, thanks for the solid suggestions. It really helped narrow the search.

Customer service is top notch with TenPoint/WickedRidge. Simplicity is Excaliburs forte…. Can’t go wrong with any of them, IMHO…..

Ended up buying the wicked ridge fury 410. I really liked the balance with a reverse draw crossbow. It put the weight between my body and support hand instead of on the front. The optic is awesome, and the decocking feature is a solid selling point. Got 9 bolts and a quiver as part of the package, and I paid almost $200 less than what the same bow sells for on Amazon
