Re: Greetings from Spain

Welcome Pablo! I think your going to find that a good quality fixed head is gong to group much better out of your excalibur than previously tested. Maybe have a read here for some general fixed flight knowledge... https://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=73364&hilit=Toot...
