Re: Excal warranty

what procedures? is there something he's missing because I'm sure he'd be thrilled to know if there's a better way. he sells excels and has nothing to gain by suggesting there warranty isn't as good as it used to be. He was told that the dry fire was the customers fault and was there for not covered.

Re: Excal warranty

Just had a visit with my old boss at a sports shop I worked at as a kid and he had some disappointing things to say about Excalibur. I asked to see a G340 that was behind the counter as I've been thinking about getting a second excel, and he mentioned it had just been fixed. He said the owner dry fi...

Excal warranty

Just wanted to clarify from people with much more experience. I read on lots of different forums that excal warranty is the best because it's life time and it doesn't matter first, second or third owner. When I read excal warranty they clearly says it covers the original owner!. What has been your e...

Terrace bc,

the string broke right where the tails fade out. I'm guessing one bundle was taking most of the stress.

Re: Best string for my 380, just had one fail, aaah

I got no problem with a string wearing, but I figured I should get at least a few hundred shots. I'm new to crossbows so here's a question:

How many shots should I get out of a d97 twist string??

who makes a good string?

Best string for my 380, just had one fail, aaah

I just had a flemish string give way after only max70-100 shots, fortunately only one bundle gave watery so it wasn't a total dry fire. The string was made by a reputable string maker as well. First off who makes a bomb proof string? Feel free to pm me with goods or bands if it's easier. Also how mu...

Re: Arrow pullers are necessary!!!!

I now only shoot the foam targets with broadheads. Fieldpoints are way to hard to get out. I built a rag bag target for field point shooting and now my 2 yr old can pull out my bolts shot from my 380. Best thing I ever did.

Strand count for strings

I've got 450plus and B50
I'm was going to try and twist up some strings for my new Matrix 380 what should the strand count be for these two materials, as I'm sure they would be different.
Thanks
Allan
