Excalibur Crossbow Forum

An Australian doctor proved that stomach ulcers were caused by bacteria, and had to fight the medical/scientific community to accept the proof. He had a whole pharmaceutical world against him. He offered simple solution (combination of existing antibiotics) to CURE the ulcer vs trend in pharmaceuti...

Two major differences in Canada: 1. There are not so many deer around here (I guess we were more efficient hunters here than you guys down south 😆) 2. Insurance companies here still take big bucks from Average Joe (like we have elephants on the roads, never mind deer), but don't spend much of that m...

The problem is there is a lot of push back now from some states on the new technology in crossbows and its getting hard to argue with it. Some states are now looking at reducing their crossbow season, making a separate crossbow season or moving it back to rifle !! I hunt with a crossbow because I h...

Speedy recovery Joe!

Where did you get it for $60?

Well, at least you had a chance. I don't know what was criteria for anyone being offered to enter the draw, but nobody offered it to me for sure.

Very nice!

Go for hogs in Florida and combine it with a xbow gator hunt.

Even though it's too late for my 50th I might be interested in this. Any good place you want to share with us Joe?

Hawke uses cheap Chinese glass. My 50 year old eyes can't use cheap glass anymore. Leupold or Nikon is all I use nowhere...

Not using Vortex Viper anymore Jeff? I thought you liked it.

Someone was selling Caldwell Field Pod on Trading post while back. I looked for that post recently and couldn't find it. Anybody knows if it's sold? I am looking for one.

I haven't decided yet. Too busy renovating cottage. But most likely I will go with my spare matrix string.

I also have 380 and have a spare string for it. When a i compared that one with one installed on my 405 later is about 1/2" or maybe bit more shorter. When I install my spare matrix string on 405 brace height falls to 1" where I think it should be. I would feel more comfortable shooting th...

I haven't put any turns. Girl at Excalibur replaced limbs and riser and installed new string. I left it as it is for about two months and then just removed it on one side and put zip tie to keep it from unraveling. That's what I do at the end of season for all my crossbows. Reinstalled strings for a...

As Flightattend would say, it won't hurt a thang :mrgreen: You should want a 1/4" between the string and the bumpers when the string creep has slowed at a reasonable rate. Right now it's 1 1/8" gap between string and bumpers. It would hardly ever touch bumpers when fired. That's why I am ...

Shoot it until it stretches :wink: X2 how far is the string from the bumpers 1 1/8". On my other crossbows I keep it at 1/8". My concern is cocking. The way i see it tips of the limbs would have to travel further back in order to engage latches. Technically it's the same as making rail lo...
