[QUOTE="ElkStalkR, post: 2085624, member: 2292"] Not as good? Not sure what that means, the certainly are just as deadly!! If you mean width, then yes they are most certainly a disadvantage. I have stands that I can turn and shoot behind me in the tree with my stealth because it is only 13.5" cocked. No way I can make that shot with the trunk and branches using a recurve, just too wide. Don't get me wrong excaliburs are great bows, but the biggest negative for me is the width. I would say that exacalibur way over plays the "maintenance free" card. The whole you can change strings in the field bit doesn't make a lot of sense to me. How many times does an archer really need the ability to change his strings in the field? Plus if you buy a quality compound you shouldn't have any problems anyway, no more so than what a recurve will give you. (limbs, trigger, etc...) If somebody wants a recurve by all means get an Excalibur!! They are EXCELLENT bows! I will never say anything bad about them. Recurves just aren't for me thats all. [/QUOTE]
