Re: 160 POUND EXOCET

Used the wrong word...it has the curved tips, not the mag limbs. I do have a question the barrel does not have the marks that show where the brace height should be. How does one know if it is too high or low?

Re: 160 POUND EXOCET

S W E E T!!! Picked up my 160 Exocet today...My first and I'm certain not my last Excalibur. Put a Hawke Map on her and took a few shots at twenty yards.

Re: Best Crossbow Target to buy

I'm using the New Bone Collector 400 fps target and am pleased with it. I only get about 9 inches of penatration when shooting a 440 grain arrow out of my Strykeforce at 377 fps. Have only had it about a year but so far it is holding up. The target costs arount $70.00.

Re: Trail Cam Comparison

Great responses from a number of folks on trail cams. Guess I need to throw my two cents worth in (that's probably more than it's worth.) I have friends who have used a number of brand name cams and have heard their comments . Have come to the conclusion that none are perfect but I have only used on...

Re: 160 POUND EXOCET

Good looking Exomag you have there. Like I posted the 160 lb Exocet was sight unseen. A friend knew I was looking for a excaliber and this guy came into his shop a few days later with the thing and said he had bought it but hadn't shot it much and hand never taken it into the field hunting. My frien...

Re: 160 POUND EXOCET

Next question would be should I stay with the 2117's or use something different when it comes time to order bolts? Carbon or Aluminum?

Re: 160 POUND EXOCET

The picture on the bottom looks like the pattern my friend related to me when he was checking it out. Again my friend lives 150 miles from me and He gave the guy the money and is holding the crossbow for me until I have time to pick it up. I live in Pueblo, Colorado and he is in Boulder, Colorado.

Re: 160 POUND EXOCET

Sorry I missed your question...I believe the rail is gray. Won't be able to pick it up at my friends house for a couple of weeks.

Re: Fletching

If you have an off set on the fletching most of the folks that I know do it to the right so that the tip whether field point or broad head doesn't loosen during flight.
