Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Great story and tell your FIL wecome to crossbows....

Kayakyok,
I think you are underestimating the abilities of that xbow. Throw a couple sandbags on a table and you will see what its really capable of.

I purchased a 405 several weeks ago and thought it was shooting a 426 gr. arrow pretty fast. I set up my chrony and had to finagle an arrow to get it down to 350 gr. I sent it thru the chrony few times at 411fps. I even contacted Excaldude to make sure I was covered shooting this light of an arrow. ...

Looks like your needing just a bit more pruning.....lol nice buck

So its not blurry at 20yrds/10 power now Shadetree???

About 20-25 shots is all the string will take....it was not a factory blemish . Used bow ,couple years old. How many $ ya recon a new rail would run me? Its a vortex.

Will excal replace a rail if it has a scratch on it that is so noticeable you can feel it with your finger as u rub up and down the rail? If not...any idea how much a rail would cost?

Ok....it just seems like I have it wound pretty tight.....and it has stretched some already.

Put a new string on a Vortex,it sets HARD against the stoppers. How many twists can you safely put in it to "shorten" it up from touching the stoppers?

If this is your 1st crossbow.....please, please, please, DO NOT put your hand or fingers anywhere near the string rail when shooting. It takes a conscious effort for newbies sometimes....

Doe Master I Honor you !!!

8 minutes at 200 degrees and 2 hours of fighting turned into 5 seconds of "SNAP" in place and fits perfectly. Feels great on the cheek too.......thanks a million

There is no way this thing will "snap" into place without either breaking,grinding,or cutting them off with a sawzall. I wonder if I have the wrong cheek piece for my model Vortex....its a 2011.....and it has a pre drilled hole on top of stock. IM frUsTrAtEd.....

Is there a reason my new cheek piece wont fit my thumb hole Vortex?The cheek piece has 5 ribs extruding from it that wont let it come close enuff to the stock to line the predrilled screw up. Help thanks
