You make a good point Ghost. My friend, my grandson and myself all have the Sniper 370 and the only issue we had with them is my friend's had the laminate on the limb start to separate. He called Centerpoint and their CS was great. They sent a complete upper unit (limbs, cables string) out the next day.
I had an Excalibur, my first Xbow and I did like it but I had issues with it. Besides being really wide there was a problem sighting it in. I even took it to the closest dealer about 75 miles away to check for alignment of the mount and they said it was OK. I ended up having to shim the scope ring to get the crosshairs in line with the target.
Would I buy another Excalibur? Yes because, like you said, the recurves are simple. But it I were to buy another it would be one of the Micro versions.
