Most crossbows combine compound bow cam technology for extra power and arrow speed. Excalibur Crossbows, however, has stayed true to the recurve form and has just introduced three bows designed for the gamut of hunting and shooting needs, from ultra-magnum to fast, light, and easy to handle. As we look for more states to open their regular archery seasons to crossbows in 2014, keep these three models in mind; one of them may be perfect for the hunt:
