Bolt retention spring question

How tightly should the "bolt retention spring" hold the bolt on the rail? My Micro 335 retention spring seems very tight... The spring/arm rest about 1/8 off the rail. Thank you

Re: AXE 340

I own a Gen II 2017 Micro 335... After seeing reviews on the new AXE, I'm wonder if the 335 will be discontinued??? I also owned a IBEX... Love all of them...

Re: Ground Blind Recommendations

I owned a doghouse and found it to be poor... I also use a compound bow along with my Excalibur... I was unable to use my compound in the blind because the blind was to small... The blind only lasted two seasons before zippiers broke... I just ordered a Primos surround view 180... Primos has a lifet...

Re: New string till issue

First group shot, standing 20yrds... I'm impressed... A 1 1/2" group... After removing and installing new limbs and a fresh string, the Micro is driving a tight group... All hail Excalibur. \m/

Funny... We have been snowed-in and with record low temps in Northeastern Ohio... Maybe I should just read my novels. wiNk

Re: New string till issue

Good points and thanks... I took the rubber/bumpers REDS off, measured the string cap to the base of the metal REDS arm... I will shoot some arrows when the weather breaks and see how it shoots.

New string till issue

After installing "new limbs" on my Micro 335, the new string is now offset/till by about 32nd" to 1/16" on one side... I have tried everything, maybe its not a big deal but this is a first for me... I have never had this issue before on other Excalibur's... Any tips would be grea...

Gen2 Micro down update

Today I received my "lifetime warranty" replacement Limbs from Excalibur... I received them within 48hrs of Excalibur receiving them... After assembling the new limbs to specs, I noticed a very small chip of finish on the tip of one limb that occurred during the installation of a new strin...

Re: Micro 335 Gen 1 question

Leave it strung year round... Enjoy, from gen1 to gen3 they have tweaked the limbs and set-up to fix the limb issue... Don't worry, if you ever have a issue Excalibur will make it right.

Re: Red dot scope

Very true and solid advise... I do enjoy the magnification of the Dead Zone... By the way, any idea of exactly how much magnification the Dead Zone has?

Re: Gen 2 Micro down

I must say, compared to my old Ibex the Micro 335 was a bit touchy to sight in... It's not as forgiving nor as smooth to shoot... That's the trade off for such a compact bow that the Micro is... The Micro reminds me of "Mike Tyson" small, compact and a power house with tremendous knock dow...

Red dot scope

I was wondering if anyone has ever used a red dot scope on your Excalibur’s? I’m happy with my dead zone scope, just wondering of pros and cons of the dot scopes.
