Excalibur Crossbow Forum

You may want to give the Federal Tru Ball slugs a try as they are supposed to produce a tighter fit in smooth bore barrels. I don't personally have any experience with them but most places seem to give them decent reviews. Perhaps some of the other members have had the chance to try them out. http:/...

Here is a combined drop chart that I put together using the information from the Excalibur website. I can send you the excel file that I used to build the chart if you would like, just send me a pm.

Excalibur's website makes a reference to CAP inserts for the back end, but searching for ...

Sounds like it could be due to a manufacturer variation in the spine of that one arrow. Have you tried doing a static spine test for your arrows to see if they all behave the same?

Instead of installing them with the lock lever on the same side you could try flipping one around and then the amount of twisting should about cancel out if you slowly and evenly tighten them down. Just a thought to try.

The photos were taken in a traditional Michigan basement. I took the photos with the aid of a sound trigger with an adjustable timing delay. It works on the same principle as the plug in wall clapper that turns stuff on and off when it hears a loud noise. The design I built is the same as this one y...

First off I just wanted to say hello to everyone on the forum. I have spent quite a bit of time reading through but never got around to posting anything myself. This also seems to be the place for crossbow tinkerers to compare notes and work on improvements. I was playing around with the question of...
