Went out today and shot four of the GT Laser II arrows that had their fletching removed. The shots were at 20 yards and I learned that with out vanes the release has to be really smooth. I do not think there is any problem with these shafts or the inserts. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh220/Ol...

I plant to hunt with the 5 Durovane arrows so that gives me 7 arrows to play with their setup. I plan to strip all the fletching and shoot these of arrows at 20 yards as a bare shaft. If there is a problem with balance, wobble, the 30 grain weight,etc there flight should be very unstable. If that is...

This is how I move my ladder stands. They are home made and heavy.

Aren't the Blazers a little taller? If you haven't trimmed the plastic off the riser, then you might try that. See this link . . . http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=28915 If the issue is just with the Blazers, then they are hitting something. I trimmed the plastic but that did...

Hello Ghost: You say you have Brass front inserts and added 30 gr. weights more to that? So you now have a 110 gr. Brass front, plus 30 gr. added weight plus a field tip of say 100 gr.? No wraps and plain fletch with aluminum rear nocks. Those are very heavy front end machines! I am going to try on...

I re-fletched arrows #1,5,7,11, and 12 (as in photo) with 4 inch Durovanes at 2 degree right offset and shot them today. It was very windy but I wanted to see how they would fly. I also did not re-calibrate the scope for these arrows. Below is a pic of that group. I shot one blazer arrow that was hi...

i would take off those weights & just shoot the brass inserts. you make have runout trouble causing the pt. to arrow insert to wobble. have you spun test all arrows made sure there isn't any wobbling ? I have a high quality metal lathe. I chucked the arrows with the heavy insert and ran them in...

At 20 yard and bench-rested., hmmm.... something is wrong and I don't think it's just the overly-high FOC. Are you using a rope cocker, or cocking by hand? If you're cocking by hand you might be cocking just a bit differently each time. I'm still thinking that something has come loose... Double che...

I wouldnt think the blazers would cause any issues. Ive been shooting those for years with the GT2's and brass fronts and I stopped shooting the same spot more than once after 2-3 arrows. You really dont need that 30 grains up front either.. ideal FOC is 13-19% but at 20yards it shouldnt make any d...

nocks and inserts are the ones that come with GT arrows, I added 30 grains to the brass insert using GT screw in weights. String is at the brace mark furtherest away from the riser. Have Excal Vari-zone scope and yes had a dry fire last week but the GT arrows were flying in this pattern before the D...

Is it possible to have too much FOC for the weight of an arrow. I have 12 new Gold Tip Laser II arrows and have been shooting them from a bench rest at 20 yards. As of to day I can not get them to group well enough to calibrate the scope for these arrows. I can not figure out why they have 12 differ...

This is the best place for good info on Excal crossbows. Thanks all especially for the pics. I have the magtips. Now I can order the correct string. Thanks again.

How can I tell if my Excal crossbow does or does not have "magtip" molded limb tips. I need to replace the string but not sure with string to buy.

Ghost

I know, welcome to the club. Bow has limb savers and STS. I can find no damage to limbs or string. Have check with cotton and there are not snags. No cracks in the paint. The shock knock the elevation setting out on the Vari-zone scope. I have re-calibrated it and all seems ok, but my question is co...

I think I am the oldest at 71.
