Re: Ex- Shox Question on Micro 360TD

I wish I’d seen this thread before installing them on my new A360. I followed the instructions, waited nearly five days (I was out of town) before shooting my bow, and last night (after 75 shots or so) one of them flew off. I wouldn’t have installed them if I’d thought this was possible. Live and le...

Re: Serving failure on a new (stock) string

UPDATE: I emailed Excalibur this morning and they already have a new string on the way. Talk about amazing customer service. I'm rapidly becoming a lifetime fan of the brand and everything associated with it. Thanks for the replies.

Serving failure on a new (stock) string

I’ve owned my Assassin 360 for roughly two weeks. I’ve taken probably 50 shots with it, and last night the center of the serving failed. It is pretty much unraveling. Is that normal life span for the serving on an Excalibur string? Thanks.

Re: My new Assassin 360 wont shoot lumenoks

Ok all, problem solved. I called Excalibur again and spoke to Peter (same gent I spoke to last week). After hearing the details again, he recommended scuffing the end of the nocks with sand paper. I used some 60 grit and etched the end of each nock, and all 6 bolts fired flawlessly. I sincerely appr...

Re: My new Assassin 360 wont shoot lumenoks

I had returned the quill bolts with lumenoks, so I went and got more (our gander here in Pensacola is closing so I got an insane deal ($10 for six of them)). I verified that they do in fact fit, and yet it still shot two feet low. At this point the only thing I haven’t tried is the much heavier poin...

Re: My new Assassin 360 wont shoot lumenoks

I bought the Excalibur quill bolts with lumenoks at Gander. Had two sets (6 total), and none of them shot remotely close to okay. All of them cork screw into the ground. I just did a comparison with one of the quill bolts that came with it (don’t have lumenoks and all shoot perfectly), and what I no...

Re: My new Assassin 360 wont shoot lumenoks

This morning I tried a 20 inch black eagle executioner. It shot perfect with a flat plastic nock. I shot the same bolt with a lumenok and it didn’t go 15 yards before hitting the ground.

Re: My new Assassin 360 wont shoot lumenoks

I bought the Quill 16.5 inch bolts with lumenoks installed. The field points are 100 grains.

My new Assassin 360 wont shoot lumenoks

I’m a new Excalibur Assassin 360 owner, and I can’t seem to get it to shoot bolts with lumenoks installed. It shoots bolts with regular flat nocks perfectly, but bolts with lumenoks just cork screw into the ground. I spoke with Peter at Excalibur, and he believed I was probably not seating the nock ...
