Couple of add on thoughts. I did have an Excalibur and it does have all the attributes the guys listed above and is an excellent choice. Here in Alabama though I do a lot of hunting from tree stands and it is substantially wider than a compound like my parker. It is also noisier but that is like saying a twin engine jet is not as loud as a 4 engine. They will both blow your ears out. As mentioned earlier, I limit myself to 25 yard shots as beyond that the deer reacts to the sound. Good luck in whatever you decide to try.
