Do I get a reisterer stock
I was thinking of pursuing my old plan of putting a wood stock on my matrix 380. I am a fan of traditional lines. I was wondering if anyone has any input in the pros and cons of doing this? One I can think of is weight, which won't bother me, I am not an ounce-saver. I was wondering whether there is...

Re: guys whats the normal kill time or distance travelled after hits?
Thanks for the replies folks, I worded it very poorly. Should have asked what the usual kill time or range of quickest to slowest is for your hunts. As with guns I agree there is no 'normal'.

what Limb deflection to ask for?
I am probably about to use up my newb tolerance points flooding the forum with dumb questions, but I was hoping someone could explain the limb deflection to ask Excalibur for. Getting some spares for a blackout 380 or factory seconds. Thought I read a thread here somewhere back for high deflection n...

Re: wow what happened while I was gone
SEW btw can I ask what your shot count was on those bows , you probably put more shots through than I will get to anyway. Also what exactly is changed with the riser modifications. Is there a video or thread on it, for interests sake. I am still working out the anatomy of crossbows.

Re: wow what happened while I was gone
I stated that with the tight and sharp edged risers modified, that I don’t expect any problems. Only on my original M380 did I personally, initially modify my riser. I have never had an issue with my most shot xbow, my M380. On my M405s and BD400 , I did no modifications and had cracked limbs on al...

Re: wow what happened while I was gone
As long as the Matrix series have the slightly opened up risers and rounded edges , I expect extreme reliability. My M380 (which I modified at the beginning) has over 3X more shots w/o a problem than any compound I ever had. All these bows now have corrected riser problems. ....where does it say &q...

Re: wow what happened while I was gone
I’m nearing 5,000 shots on a M380 over 6 years, 2,500 on a BD400, >1,000 on a M405. As long as the Matrix series have the slightly opened up risers and rounded edges , I expect extreme reliability. My M380 (which I modified at the beginning) has over 3X more shots w/o a problem than any compound I ...

Alternatives for arrows should SHTF
The question sounds like it should be on one of those prepper forums but a real life application may be where countries are crazy enough to ban crossbows or importation of components from users. I would assume for high powered crossbows, home made wooden bolts are never going to stand up to the forc...

years of manufacture for excal bows?
I was just wondering if there is a historical list of all the bows Excalibur produced and when they came into production? I had my first bow an exomax in 1999 but wondered how old this model was then and what existed before it?

guys whats the normal kill time or distance travelled after hits?
Hopefully not a sensitive subject, but probably a highly variable one. Just trying to get an idea of how far different game runs for you after you hit it with your preferred setup. This is for my own general interest getting an idea how crossbows kill on different species, not trying to draw any adv...

Re: Matrix 355
if it helps I'm from a remote region internationally and worried about difficulties with product support should anything go wrong, I started a thread here to ask advice on which bow to get. The greatest number of recommendations for my situation ? Matrix 355. I ended up getting a 380 incidentally an...
