I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing. The rumblings on the crossbow forums seem to lean towards bad. I guess Bowtechs CS is not that great and Excalibur has always been exceptional.
I'll be honest, one of the major selling points when I bought my Excal was the better than average CS. I also know nothing of Bowtech other than 2nd hand stuff so I'll have to wait and see how it unfolds.
