Ok. Thanks Boo.

That is correct. When I put another twist in the string it kinks up in a loop. It was waaaay too twisted up. Getting a Vixen string delivered next week. Hopefully the dealer I bought it from will make it right.

So I put my backup string from my Grizzly on the 380. I untwisted the one shipped with the NEW 380 and counted over 30 twists. When I laid it out it was over 36". Doesn't sound like the correct string to me.

Congrats Mike!! Wish I had those dogs last year. Took me 4 hours to track mine through a swamp.

When I got my new bow the string was way into the REDS. The first thing I did when I got the bow assembled was use the string changer to put some twists in to increase BH so the string is just off the REDS. When I did this, there were already so many twists that the string kinda curled up. I release...

I am just assembling my new 380. I was just wondering which screws / bolts people felt I need to put Loctite on? I know I will be using it on the scope, but how about the riser bolts?

Congrats!! That's awesome.

Sounds like something I will try before I assemble my new 380!!

Good Luck PA hunters. Hunted there for 3 years before moving back to Michigan.

Mine too. There is a mark at 1 1/2 on the rail. Very faint but its there. Didn't see it at first but the string was covering it.

Would be interesting to know how many who responded have more than one Excalibur vs those who only voted for the xbow they have.

Aluminum 2216? 618gr? That seems like a heavy arrow but I bet it delivers one hell of a thump!! I have a bunch of aluminum 2216 and 2219 from my vertical bow that I might play with over the winter.

Ok, now that the 380 is on its way I would like to verify a couple things. From what I have read I can use the same strings and arrows I purchased for my Grizzly. I have seen a couple of different specs for the 380 as far as arrows.....one said 20" and the other 18". I am using the 18"...

Will do. I hope to get it cited in and use it in the late bow season here in Michigan.
