Some good info and opinions here.... Due to a shoulder injury, I may be looking to An Xbow for a while. What about the inverted limbed designs? The longer travel of the string transferring energy to the bolt seems it would be an advantage to me with the inverted limbs (?).
Has anyone shot both types that can compare the *recoil* feel or lack there of?
Also, I have watched YouTube videos at those bragging about 100 and 200 yard shot capabilitys. The arc height in between the shooter and target looks to be about 6 to 12 feet. That pretty much negates taking advantage of extremely long shots in a wooded environment, or even typical hunting ranges in more open environments without major compensation.
We have both a Horton Vision (reverse limb) & an Excalibur recurve.
Both excellent crossbow, both have taken game.
The narrow width of the Horton is fantastic in tight spots, or when maneuvering in & out of stand/blinds.
The Excalibur is certainly simpler & more robust, but it is also the louder of the 2.
Neither has noticeable recoil.
