Excalibur Crossbow Forum

just made one out of a burlap sac full of rags plastic bags ect,, old jackets ,,, best target i ever had bolts only go about halfway threw and very very easy to remove, plus alot cheaper ,,never buying a shooting block again..shooting with the matrix 380.

had a bad tact zone too, i sent it back, got a new one works great good luck!!!

had that same problem , a while back checked my scope wasnt level with the bow , it want bother at 20 yards but as soon as you start using the 30, 40 50 reticles you will always be off to one side..

i have one and i use it for my 300win mag its just like shooting a pellet gun once u put the weights in it , and i also use it with my matrix 380 its great for zeroing in it takes away the guessing of a bad shot pretty solide tool i love it

wow thanks everybody very educationnal really got the little hamster running in my head i think i need to get an rangfinder that calculates the angles that answers my question thanks again..

im trying to understand why i need an angle calculator on a ranfinder if i am 20 feet up a tree and i range a deer i know that i am ranging in an angle but isnt the ligne beetween my range finder and the deer still straight lets say i range 30 yards going down im shooting in that same line that i am...

yes it does i will keep testing with the 18 inch but if everything stays the same i will be hunting with the 20 inch bolts,,,

When I bought my 380 from Dave at Wyvern's creations he told me that from what has been reported to him and what he has seen that the 20 in arrows seem to fly better then the 18 in. and that he found that the Black Eagle Executioners flew much better then the Firebolts. So that's what I bought I ha...

The length may not be a problem...other than sticking out over the end of the bow. Actually the longer arrow has a slightly higher ballistic coefficient and should 'glide' better (cause for higher hits even though it's heavier?) But you don't mention the FOC of the longer arrows, or the spine. Both...

Rotate your cock vane and shoot those arrows again and see if it improves your grouping will try that , i had marked them and was always using the same vane down i had one bolt that was hitting good but as soon as i would use a different bolt it would b off, im waiting on 6 new diablo's so will try...

yap thats my plan

well the bolt is almost at the end of the stir up you couldnt put your foot in it witch is good you cant release the bow without removing the bolt..

well got my scope replaced from excalibur its working great but the 4 diablo bolts i have all fly differently so i tryed using my firebolts and im hitting dimes at 40 yars and a 2 to 3 inch group at 60 yards so i dont know if i got a bad batch of bolts but anyway happy with the results of the firebo...

What happens when you shoot the same arrow with the same cock vane down? Are the 4 scope mount screws tight? scope is tight all screws tried using arrow that hit dead on but wasnt getting same results on second shot,, i could shoot circles around this bow with my axiom so theres a problem some were...

just got my m380 and took it out shooting at 20 yards in a lead sled rest very solid, was able to hit bulls eye within a few shot but after that the next shot was at least 4 inches away i am able to bring it back by reajusting my scope but it wont stay shouldnt i be able to hit dam near close to the...
