Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Wyoming was one of the first states to legalize crossbow hunting during the regular archery season. We have enjoyed the freedom of using the crossbow in all of the seasons for over 30 years. Not being able to use a leverage-gaining device was probably a concern to address technology. The technology ...

My name is Dale Holder, I am the Legislative liaison for the American Crossbow Federation in Wyoming. Currently Wyoming law allows the use of a leverage gaining device (cocking aids) to handicapped hunters only. I am working on getting this changed, so anyone may use a cocking aid while hunting, in ...

For those of you looking for brass inserts, carbon inserts, flat backs etc. I have these items in both 12 and 72 packs. http://thecrossbowshop.com/shop/arrows/ ... omponents/

Matthias72 I agree, I do not make any shots over 30 yards without using a range finder. I am very bad at judging distance, and my rule of thumb is, if I did not have time to use my range finder, chances are I did not have time for a clean shot anyway. For those thinking of useing a bipod or a solid ...

BuckShot,
Yes, I paid for the hunt, I sold the meat to pay for the hunt. I mounted the head and it hangs in my trophy room.
I believe Montana is the only state offering a controlled wild hunt now-a-days.

Long distance shooting is not always the goal but sometimes the savior. In Wyoming, I have taught crossbow-shooting techniques for over 25 years. I start a new hunter out at 10 yards, and gradually work out to 30 yards over a few weeks. In the first few weeks the hunter needs to become accustomed to...

I would like to see what interest there is to being able to trade in your old Excalibur or TenPoint crossbows on new equipment. Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale

A 22-riflescope and crossbow scopes are generally parallax free at 50 yards, a large riflescope at 100 yards. To test to see how much parallax your scope has. At 30 yards shoulder your crossbow and aim at the bulls eye, now tilt your head to the right and to the left. You will have more head movemen...

Jason, I have tested a lot of rifle scopes on crossbows over the years. Unless the scope is designed for a reverse recoil such as the ones designed for crossbows and air rifles you will have a hard time holding the recticles together. Even a red dot. One other thing, rifle scopes are parallax free a...

I have been asked lately if I carry arrow inserts. Yes, but just TenPoint Super Bright Caps but I sell a fletching jig that fits in the inserts so they make the arrows easy to refletch. I also shoot them in my Exocet.

Good Luck on the Wyoming Antelope hunt. I would recommend the Phoenix. Works great for the ranges you may be shooting out here and the pull length should work for you. Where will you be hunting in Wyo.
