 Re: Crossbows....
Excalibur! While some will argue that compounds will be faster than a recurve, these are fast. I have a 140 inch 13 pointer on the wall that would back that up.  Advantage of recurve, I can string and unstring it without a bow press.. so offseason I leave it unstrung.

 Re: Crossbows....
I agree, Excalibur is the way to go. The equinox is the best and fastest (350fps), but the vortex is only a step behind (330 fps) You are able to uncock this bow also without having to fire the arrow. And they are deadly accurate. Never shoot at the same place twice. Get bolt cutter braod heads and excalibur bolts and follow the blood, but not for very far.
