Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Never knew Kentucky didnt allow crossbows. Hummmm. Guess I was lucky. Perhaps West Virginia will follow Kentucky with that law, but then again, the state could not make any bucks off the fines. Strikes me as strange how a state will allow target practice with a weapon, yet claim the same weapon ille...

If the weather is cold enough, and I have the time, I will hang the meat for days, otherwise I cut it up into steaks for the freezer, grind it (I often add bacon fat if I grind it to give some grease when I fry it) or cut it up into cubes and can it. I have never wasted a bunch of salt on a deer. If...

Oh My!!!! You are correct. Those Whamo Powermasters suffered from broken prods (aluminum) and the trigger mechanism was prone to missfires. After running a modern search engine, I have discovered there were thousands of them re-called in 1967. The current suggestion is that they be destroyed. Its no...

I was going through the attic when I ran across an old Powermaster crossbow I picked up way back when. It has a metal prod. It never had a string on it, and try as I might, I could never locate the proper string. I remember attempting to make a string for it, but not knowing what the proper length w...

Its been over 20 years since I got my first crossbow, and I thought it was pretty sweet. I found an old catalogue today, the Wildcat 1,2&3, were all in there. Back then, I thought 225 fps was pretty impressive. Technology has advanced alot in the past 20 years and another 100 or so fps is modern...

Our firearm season opened this past Monday. Deer were plentiful here till about Thursday before. I live pretty far out of town and the Friday morning before opening day, the holler sounded like there was a small war going on. Saturday was a little slower, and the Sunday before firearm season actuall...

In my state, one can occupy (live on) un-used land providing they place an ad in the local county paper every month announcing they are living there. If a year goes by, and the owner does not respond, that person who has been occupying the land gains the property free and leagal providing they pay a...

Wow, Sounding good on this end. I been loosing bolts every year, the deer break em. Thats the way it goes I guess. Was reading more of the fourm, and looks like Im gonna be getting over to Sardis, Ohio. I bet I went by there a dozen times in the last couple of years, and never knew about Horizontal ...

Wow, that was lots quicker than I thought. Thanks for responding so quick. With what y'all have stated so far, I believe I need to get to a dealer, or the factory, where I can check out the different types of Excalibur crossbows. The old recurve Wildcat has done well for me over the years, but I lea...

Hello, Does the excalibur drag the string across the deck resulting in early failure of the wrappings in the center of the string??? Over 20 years ago, I purchased the originial 150# pull Barnett Wildcat. I was pleased with the device, but the strings needed replaced after 20 or so shots. Eventually...
