I bought an Excaliber a couple of years ago. It is simple accurate and loud. I wouldn't shoot farther than 25 yard because of the noise. It is hard to see the bolt in flight supposedly 355 fps.
I didn't hunt with it last year because I had plenty of meat. I shoot mine into a target to uncock.
The cocking aid that came with it makes it easy to draw. I chose it because of it's simplicity.
One of my limbs exploded on the 6th shot the first day I shot it. I sent it back and they returned it within a few days. Haven't shot it much since except to check the scope. I plan to shoot a deer this fall with it.
