Getting my first crossbow any ideas on which one? thinking of tenpoints titan tl-4 any comments would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Ten Point makes excellent crossbows. Quality all the way. I own a TenPoint QX4 and an Excalibur Exomag and they are both fine shooters. IMO - if you want a compound crossbow the TenPoint is the way to go. If you want a recurve then the Excalibur is the way to go. Even though the Titan is on the low end of the scale for a TenPoint it is still a quality product that will give you many, many years of service. BTW - WELCOME to Hunting Indiana.. . |

I own a Titan,Got it about a month ago and have shot it a couple of hundred times.It is my first crossbow so I have nothing to compare it to but it shoots very accurate and the quality and workmanship is exceptional.I had to quit shooting groups because I was splitting arrows in half.It cant get any better than that.

I've had a Excalibur for 5 years and all I've done is changed the string. Oh yeah added a custom stock. The appeal for the excalibur is simplicity. I know guys who own excaliburs and friends with TenPoints and friends with everything else. The Excaliburs come out on top with great service, reliability, and accuracy the TenPoints a close second, I like how much more compact they are but find them slightly heavier. As for anything else I wouldn't even consider them.

Ten Point and Excalibur are THE crossbows.

Very nice digger. That Exaclibur isn't "stock" is it? No the "stock" is not stock. It is by Mark Henegar of Ohio. |

So what are the major differences in a "recurve" style versus a "compound" style if someone was looking to purchase one?

Mainly in the maintenance. Sooner or later the string and/or cables on that compound are going to need to be replaced (as I found with my Buckmaster Maxpoint compound crossbow). The recurve Excals are very easy to do maintenance on, even in the field I can change a string with the stringer in less than a minute. Not so with the compound jobs.
Also I found my recurve Excals to have a bit better accuracy than the Maxpoint. But the Maxpoint is a very powerful bow. I decided I wouldn't be going after moose or anything else that large, so I bought a set of recurve limbs and riser from Excalibur and converted it into basically an Exocet.

I have the Ten Point Pro Fusion and it is flat out a TACK FREAKING DRIVER...... You will not believe the accuracy of this thing if you shoot it... I can peg a walnut 9/10 times at 50 yards with mine..  |
