I’d be willing to bet you could borrow Grungie.

You know as well as I do, Jim is the type of guy that would meet you halfway to let you borrow one of his bows. Well……except Swatty I think this time of the year he sleeps with it. Just may have to shoot Michelle a message and see if we can get any info on that situation.🤣😂

Nothin that is nock specific, KI, CP, or has the bow string that comes from the inside of the cams.

Tenpoint siege 425. Was a toss up between that and the current tx440.

I’d buy an Excalibur 👍👍

If I was feeling flush on money Venom X, if I wasnt one of the flavors of Barnett XP. I'd be interested in the logix but I would have to hold it first. I didn't like the feel of the vital X430 at all. Likely i would decide the logix was too heavy and front heavy. I like the feel of the Venom more than the XP but they are both very acceptable.

I assumed no Swat X1 available for this scenario. Im very happy with my Swat.

I'd have to build a REV "Z" but it wouldn't be ready for another 3 years.

 

[scienceguy]

The three I have now.....Sub 1, KI X1, and the TenPoint Venom X. All with the Burris Oracle X. It "only" took me about a dozen crossbow buy and then sell to arrive at these three.

Hadn’t thought about a scenario where not only not having a crossbow but also without a press in the house… 🤔

The Mag Max would likely stay in the backup role but would likely switch from the Venom X/Turbo X choice. Something more self sufficient would be in order - Hybrid X or Mission Sub-1/Sub-1 XR would fit the bill… Probably the Sub-1 XR, had a Rev X and the riser didn’t fit me well but I’d go actually handle a Hybrid X to make sure one way or the other…

 

[HuntMeister]

Excalibur, Hybrid X as my primary and a 340 for a backup nice light weight / long walk in option.

 

[KX500]

Ravin R10

I just don't see no press as a limiting factor. The Jack Pine press cost $20 to build and has worked fine on the 3 bows I've used it on.

All of the crossbows I've ever had have all performed to my satisfaction. But of the many I've owned over the years, if I were to start all over, for reliability, maintenance, string life, etc., I'd probably have to go with my TenPoint Venom X or my old Darton Viper SS Extreme (still kickin myself for ever getting rid of that one!)...

The question was "Opening Day".

If it's "opening day" and it's no set season. (i.e. Bow), and I have no bow, then it's my custom-made HS Precision in 7mm STW with the Mark 4 Leupold it wears. 🤣😂

BUT...I digress!!

Bow Season ONLY, actually any season these days, it's some type of Excalibur. I just trust them. I can work on them. They have ALWAYS been good to me, so why change.
In other words, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Tomorrow, (the 27th of September), is opening morning here. Supposed to be upper 50's. Clear skies. Light northeasterly wind, that means it will be blowing in my face, as I'm perched up in my tree stand. And I'll be looking for Bambi.
Oh yeah, with my old Micro Suppressor 355.

Old men have bad habits!! 🤣😂
