Good luck! Lots of nice Excalibur modes to be had. Read good things on the newest release AXE model. It's light and shoot 340fps.

As a former Barnett owner - anything would be considered an upgrade imo.
Although Excaliburs have a great following, I would think they could be bear to cock for some people.If you’re not wanting to empty part of your savings account, I’d consider keeping an eye on the classifieds both on here and over on CT. If you find something that interests you, you can always ask a few members about that listing and seller. Good luck.

I can say for one, your opinion sucks,your so negative all the time .Mike H , I'm sure your c5 has served you well over the years. Every xbow company has had its share of problems over the years and as time goes by things get better. Don't let this guys negativity bring you down. Lots of options out there ,find what you like and don't listen to the NA sayers ...KTAs a former Barnett owner - anything would be considered an upgrade imo.

It’s not the latch, it’s the string slots in the trigger housing as I suspected. I’ll probably post a thread on my observations tomorrow. I’ll try not to use big words so that you can understand it as well.
I see that on Dec 20th you changed your screen name to Mudslinger. The definition below seems like a good fit for you. What was it before you had it changed?
Mike... before you sell me your Wildcat for $25 (I'll pay shipping) and drop a bundle on a new bow, please sync and level the cams, lube the rail and string, get some straight (.003 or less), spine indexed arrows with 250 gr or heavier field tips and give "old Betsy" one more chance to shine. Mine is 9 years old and on it's second set of limbs and still reliably putting down white-tails (3 does and an 8-point so far this season). Yeah, the trigger gives you an extra inch to change your mind about taking the shot, but I've never had a misfire. Had a dry-fire once when a cracked nock cut the string and it went off like a .30-'06, but a new string and zero check had me back in the field the same afternoon. Two does and the buck were taken on the new string. Keep us posted on your decision.

I've always kept the the string and cable and rail well lubed. I did have a local shop sync the cams and after that accuracy did improve. thanksMike... before you sell me your Wildcat for $25 (I'll pay shipping)
