Why a Barnett shows up here
The 308 Short (also known as the Banshee) has been discontinued from Excalibur's current new-production catalog. The closest available new listing on Amazon for this search is the Barnett Whitetail Hunter II - a compound crossbow, not a recurve, and not made by Excalibur.
Recurve vs. compound
Excalibur builds recurve crossbows exclusively - no cams, no cables, no let-off. The Barnett Whitetail Hunter II shown here uses a compound cam system rated at 350 FPS with a 16.125" axle-to-axle length - a genuinely different design from the original 308 Short's recurve platform.
