I have the Excalibur Bulldog 400 and like second time I cranked it, I screwed up and didn't realize the string had climbed on top of the riser(?), so as I cranked it, instead of the string sliding under the arrow hold-down arm, it went over top of that.
And completely grenaded the ADF mount, arrow hold-down arm, ripped right out.
I sent Excalibur pics and my story and they no-fault sent me a complete new ADF/scope mount, with of course the hold-down arm attached.
Just awesome customer service.
I can tell you that my Bulldog 400 shoots plenty fast enough, and is accurate as I need.
It is BIG though. For carrying, I added a padded rifle sling, which helps greatly.
As to which model to buy, that's all personal choice. Check out the various 'Micro' models and compare against the full-size, like the Bulldog 400, before you buy.
