I use an Excalibur Vixen. It's a little smaller than the Excalibur's on the Cabela's page you posted (doesn't seem to be listed on the site) but it's also lighter than most xbows. It flys at 285 f/s and it's very very accurate, and gets the job done very well. It's also a tad cheaper than some, but the quality is second to none.

See my av <---, took him with my Vixen this year.

The draw on mine is 150lbs but I use a cocking aid, a rope. It's quiet, light and easy to stash in a pocket. It cuts the draw in half and I have no problem at all cockin my bow.

I have to admit that I'm bias since Excalibur is a Canadian made bow. But, I've talked to lots of folks that have used other brands of bow and many of them are gettin rid of thier others and switchin to an Excalibur.
