Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I just bought some stricknine broadheads, on sale 3 for 10$ at a local hardware store, anyone know if their any good? thought id just buy something cheap for coyotes and fox.

I almost bought one of those williams sights yesterday till I looked at the price tag, 85$ glad to see someone else had the idea though.

I just put together a set, tried best I could to follow the old lines, I dont know what firebolts are originally set at.

Lost a couple vanes on my firebolt arrows and I found some 2"blazer vanes at the local home hardware, at what degree should I offset them?

I didn't quite feel comfortable with the trigger pull length of the exocet, and I wasn't too fond of the thumb hole look of the ibex but between the two is was the best to shoulder, I'm a short bugger so...

Walked into wholesale sports, they had an aluminum barrel ibex and an Exocet on display, ibex won, fit my short arms best, 436$. I love it

I'm looking into gettin an excalibur crossbow, plan to hunt mulies, elk, and black bear, never hunted with a xbow so my question is, between the 2 bows, does 25fps matter vs the extra 25lb draw. Also I live in alberta, 5-600lb black bears arent uncommon, wondering if 175# is enough if I ever got the...

First thing I noticed was the antlers and the weight, otherwise it sure as heck looks like the same buck, and 7 days is a lot of time to slick up and look good if an animal finds good feeding.
