And bow hunting, but it's been quite a few years. I don't think I'd ever buy a used one, just because of the potential for abuse. I've got a dandy scar on the outside of my right elbow. I was shooting a new whiz gizzy Bear compound bow that exploded, on the indoor archery Lane in the shop I worked in. Left me with a 3 inch long gash that you could see the tendons and ligaments thru. I don't want a repeat of that experience. I'm really leaning toward a simple, quality Xbow and it sounds like Excalibur might be the right one to deal with.

How about optics for these? The one I'm looking at is the Excalibur Phoenix kit. It has some kind of a scope that probably isn't much good, but I don't know if these things are hard on optics or not?
