[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 958697, member: 39764"] ....or a not Premium 10 point, aka: Wicked Ridge I sure like mine. The release is a bit noisy, I can live quite easily wit that. I'm not to fond of the supplied proprietary scope, I'm used to better and will probably refit a Leupold at some point. I happened to get m mine on a store closeout/going out of business at 30 off list. Bought the lighted nocks, the turkey broadheads, the big game broadheads and a 12 pack of Easton bolts at the same time. Mine came with a soft case and the dampening fingers already installed. I'm old (65) and have no issue with cocking it with the rope cockers, I could probably cock it with the bowstring alone and leather gloves on. I like the 10 Point/Wicked Ridge forestock finger protection. I saw a guy take the last inch of his thumb clean off with an Excalibur. It hurt just looking at it.... **** things are wicked amputaters. For close stand shooting, you can't beat an Excalibur because the limbs are narrow but I can adjust my position (in my stands) where the limbs have enough clearance they don't contact anything on release, something to keep in mind, because those pulleys are tender (and costly). If you want a carbon fiber stocck and all the goodies, lay down the bucks on a 10 Point, but if you can live with a bit less (but still have 10 point quality and after the sale service), buy a Wicked Ridge.
