I can’t remember seeing that in the past. Sure sounds like an internal problem.
That’s what I’m thinking, as well. I contacted Excalibur, who have asked me to ship the bow to them for evaluation.

Assassin won’t decock

I shoot an Assassin 360 which has developed a problem and I wondered how common it might be. There are no other issues with the bow. It cranks fine, shoots great - all seems well. However, starting earlier this year, I’m no longer able to decock the bow. I’m very familiar with how to accomplish this...

Re: Polished “Claws” - Assassin

After having issues with my Assassin quickly eating servings, I decided to polish the claws. This is how they appear now. While much better in overall appearance, I can’t seem to get rid of a visible line on each side. It appears to be a casting mark maybe. Is this normal? Should I keep at it until...
