Hey guys! Due to a shoulder injury I suffered at work this past week, I'll be joining the crossbow community! I've never shot one, or really know anything about them. As long as it keeps people in the woods, I've been a supporter of the recent crossbow craze. I'm doing my research and I'm leaning towards recurve style, the Excalibur line. I read somewhere that the compound crossbows go through strings quicker? is that true? anyways and info you can pass along would be great!!! even though I'm down and out for awhile I'm really looking forward to the new archery adventure!
