If you are able to pull back the weight and shoot a lot, recurves are the way to go. A lot more trouble free and easier to work on. Excalibur is nice, but for the best, look at Kodabow. No reported limb problems, and few issues reported of any kind. Great trigger, and about as rugged as they come. Check out the video of pulling parts out of a shoe box, putting it together, and hitting the bullseye first shot.
