Hi ya'll,
I have decided that I want to purchase a xbow for a variety of reasons, one of which is I can already tell I will need more time than I have currently to become proficient with a recurve. With that said, I have narrowed down my choices to these two: The excalibur Mag Air and the Hickory Creek Mini. I feel like the HC is a rollercoaster for me. Sometimes I am dead set on it, but then I will read about all the extra things folks have to do to make it accurate and it makes me a little nervous. Ultimately, I want something that is semi-affordable, comfortable in a saddle, and has no fiddle factor. I prefer to just be able to do some semi-consistent practice and consistently hit my targets within 30 yards. I don't really want to do a lot of mods to make it consistently accurate. I also hunt in southeastern hardwoods that are pretty dense (where I go) most of the time.
With all that in mind, do ya'll have any recommendations on whether I should go the Excalibur Mag Air or HC Mini? (Or something else). I know there is a lot of love for the HC here, but also curious from folks who have experience with the Mag Air or similar model.
Thanks in advance!
