numbers don't lie. got to give the people what they want and Crossbow nation wants cheap reliability and accuracy per the poll.I guess Excalibur ... better fire up the assembly line and start building Excalibur Vortex' again.😂
Not to be a Debbie Downer and not to lampoon the Vortex crossbow, but there's something fundamentally flawed with research data that comes up with an Excalibur Vortex as the premier crossbow on CBN. At some point you have to step back from running the data & formulas in physics and say to yourself "does this answer make sense in the real world?"

Respectfully disagree Duke 🤔. While all cars MAY be reliable to a degree, some are moreso than others, just check out some consumer ratings. Some mite be faster, flashier, more prestigious, tho it means nothin if it's in the shop. Rolls Royce an others (BMW, Mercedes, etc) ain't goin too fast when ther in the shop, an ther owner ain't all that thrilled with em then either.Seriously? ... "How many crossbows are "unreliable" these days???" You buy a crossbow in 2025 you can just assume it's reliable. I understand that everyone votes "reliable" number one but to me that's like saying I want a car that's reliable. They're ALL reliable, it's a given.
But Jack ... "How Many" crossbows are actually blowing up? I don't see the highway shoulder littered with broken down cars and I certainly don't see any pattern of ONE brand when I do see the rare vehicle on the shoulder. Right now, today, if there's any brand of crossbow I'd be afraid of it's the brand that this thread has as #1... Excalibur! I don't keep track but Excalibur seems to have so many limbs breaking that the Excalibur lovers around here seem to advocate buying, storing and even carrying a spare set of limbs! I'm drifting ... LOL My point is it's easy to buy a reliable crossbow because the vast majority ARE reliable. Anyone buying a gorilla recurve knows he's rolling the limb dice; same as anyone buying a narrow crossbow is going to be buying strings often.Respectfully disagree Duke 🤔.

To imply it's a given that all crossbows are reliable seems inconsistent to me when I read some o da threads I see. 🤔
I build my own.custom arrows?
I knew when I gave him that info that it would be burning a hole in your brain.I guess Excalibur ... better fire up the assembly line and start building Excalibur Vortex' again.😂

I've been ... bypassing this thread because it's an exercise in futility to try to come up with a highest rated or best value crossbow. It is a fun thread though, so I stopped back in...LOL This is like trying to come up with the highest rated car sold in North America. You simply are peeing into the wind rating Ferrari's, Camrys, Broncos, and BMWs all in one pot. Heck, Sub-compacts, Compacts, SUVs, Minivans, Crossovers, Luxury, Sports Cars, Pickups, EVs, Hybrids, and then sub-categories of each???I knew when I gave him that info that it would be burning a hole in your brain.

do you have a scorpyd I can add? I just need to know how accurate it is at 40 yard and the round count on it before mechanical failure if any.Love my Scorpyd’s also very reliable.
what's the accuracy at 40 yards on your most accurate and reliable bow? And I need the round count before any mechanical failure if any? And make and modelGood thread but should allow moren 1 choice 🙂
do you have any bows that would beat the ones on the current list? if so send me the shot count before mechanical failure if any and accuracy at 40 yard, make, model.Accuracy is only what you make it. If you have labels on your arrows your a xbow googan.
what is the accuracy at 40 and round count before mechanical failure if any?470 vapor TP
its just multiplying the score for each measure for each bow buy the weight of each measure in the Poll. Here is the calculator. For example your venom x scored 6.6 for reliability (5 points for round count without mechanical failure+5 points for no mechanical failure times 66% Poll Weight for that measure = 6.6 points for reliability for your venom x.I still not understanding where you are coming up with your numbers formulas for your rankings. Seems like political fuzzy math.
IDK I"m not reading your list. I make my own mistakes to learn from.do you have any bows that would beat the ones on the current list? if so send me the shot count before mechanical failure if any and accuracy at 40 yard, make, model.
