Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Makes sense.. I might just pay it off slowly. I picked up a couple dozen arrows and broadheads for my current bow.. So I'll just keep it until I can trade up. I've been pushing my chineese Jandao out to 65 yards with 6in grouping.. That's my max for now

You're not likely to find an Axiom that cheap. Re read my post, bare bones brown Vixen can often be found on the used market that cheap. The brown ones have been out of production since 2008. They sell cheap on the used market for various reasons, mostly because everyone is camo crazy and speed cra...

Where do y'all get bare bow axioms for $250.. If that's the case, That's the route I'm going! I'll take the layaway and load up on arrows. If the old vixen is 285 with a 350 grain arrow (252 with a 500gr) Then a Axiom should be able to fling a 500-grain arrow at 250-275.. That's all I need.

Is this a new Vixen? It's been a long time since Excal has made brown Vixens. Also, what are 'rail upgrades"? Nope.. Poop brown.. I bought the scope rail for it, as it simply had the weaver with open sights. I put in layaway on impulse, because I really wanted an excalibur (as my Jandao is get...

How are you getting 628 with 2216's. I'm using 2219 @ 20inches and only get 503 with 150gr points??

How do they fly @ long range?

I put a brown vixen in the Layaway for $489 (because I bought rail upgrades) I've paid on Half of it.. and now I'm seeing Axioms on sale @ Fleet Farm for $450 out the door... Should I convert the layaway into store credit for arrows, and just buy the Axiom? I'm wanting more power for the money, and ...

What speed are you getting @ 625?

What type of speeds are you getting out of your vixen with a 500gr.. That's what I plan on shooting

Thanks!!

Just for grins I would mount that HHA on the Vixen and bottom it out, then drop a Varizone on top of that and set it up proper. When the Varizone maxes out on chevrons shooting at 50 yards, start dialing up the HHA, using the 50 yard chevron as your point of aim that should get you where you want t...

I'm going to be running an HHA Optimizer. I'm still undecided on what scope to get. I'm thinking xb-30 ir

Hello, I'm Marion. I just put a poop brown vixen in the layaway.. I want to practice long range target shooting with it. What type of maximum range would I expect from it shooting 500gr 150gr heads. Without having to use Kentucky Windage/Arkansas Elevation. I use an HHA Optimizer on my current 150# ...
