Most of us take great care with our bows, firearms, or crossbows, which makes this such an impressive video. An Excalibur Micro 355 is dragged behind an ATV through a cornfield, giving it a lifetime of rugged abuse in just a few minutes, as a test of this recurve model. Recurve crossbows are the most reliable format, since they have fewer moving parts. Watch to see how this abuse test turns out. (Hint: Don’t bet on the cornfield.)
