Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I think ur best bet would be to call Excalibur Ask for the warinty department. You will get dawn or Mike Both great people. Explain your situation an they will get you up an running with a new set of limbs in no time. Why ur at it, ask them to also send you a extra set of blemished limbs just for b...

Yes, i did get a mail from excalibur (as you can read on page 1 of this topic) with instructions how to do...

Yes, this was the only string on the bow. I have another new string and is still in its packaging and unused.

Maybe it is a good idea to post some (2) photos of it: This is the left limb, now without the limb-tip. http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/u552/Sneek1975/IMG_7517_zpshwcirsj6.jpg This is the right limb of the crossbow at the moment. Is this loop allready to wide? (The loop at the left side, where i...

Sorry to hear about the limb tip break. If your dealer can't look after you please contact us directly. Regarding limb tip failures, limb tips typically fail due to low brace height, poorly seated arrow or it can be just a faulty tip. The #1 model for tip failure is the early Matrix 355 which coinc...

If the loops are too long, they apply too much pressure on the edges of the loop flange of the limb tip and will virtually peal the flange off. If the tip breaks, the limb wedges itself in through the loop, causing the loop to enlarge even more. If the loop is too big or if limb tip broke, you must...

Yes follow Bio's advice and contact the store first. They may have replacement limbs in stock. Otherwise Excalibur will have to ship overseas to replace. They will take excellent care of you, but it's the timing issue Thanks for your information! The store has no replacements, so i have send a mail...

Where i was afraid for (after all the stories) is happened today. I was shooting my Matrix 380 this day and broke the left limb tip on the third shot. In total my bow has shooting between 500 and 1000 times and is about 2 years old. I bought it in Holland in a store. Now i wonder: must i contact the...

Interesting results on different distances. Shot by man AND machine:

Conclusion: if you don't shoot further than 40 yards, a fixed blade is the one to use.

I like to shoot targets on large distances (+ 100 yards) and they are better than the 18 inch.

Thank you all for your comments!

Just a picture, but hope you guys will like it. HHA optimizer / bulb level / tack bracket + bi-pod/ Yukon digital nightscope 6.5 x 50 L(aser) / luminok firebolt 20 inch + boltcutter / etc.. I only want an extra infra red illuminator on the tack bracket for better light and longer distances. http://i...

I've had several different answers in this thread, so now it is difficult for me which information is the right one... Next to this i want to thank everyone for his help. I measured my old string and this is almost 0.5 inch longer than the new one. The quality of the old string is still good, so it ...

Danny Miller says the loops shouldn't exceed an 1.5" length . Personally, I don't like mine to exceed 1.25" , Which puts them about the bottom or slightly above the bottom of the limb tip . Thank you all for your information about this! I have also a new string at home and this one (the l...

Is the cause of getting a broken limb tip due to a stretched string? (Theory: the gap between the loop of the string and the limbtip is getting to big.) If yes, when do i need to replace the (old) string? Or can i fix it by making the loop of the string smaller (how?) Or is the cause just a weak lim...

I found this piece of information on an other forum and i think the writer is right: we are using arrows for the crossbow and not bolts... While the advancement of the modern crossbow continues to reach new levels in technology, design, and build materials, so do crossbow arrows. That’s right, I sai...
