Re: If you had to replace your crossbow...
I can afford any crossbow I want and I’d choose the Matrix, G340, Bulldog, or GRZ2, with Nikon 3x or ACOG
I’d cry if I lost my old Grizzly. I’ve killed more stuff with that thing than most every crossbow combined.
Something about the lower speed Matrix, cocking weight makes it reliable, quieter, faster to recock or restring.

I am hoping they put out a micro that is shorter and more compact than what they already have out,maybe shave a half pound and have it shoot 320-340 fps,with some new finish options, and go back to camo on the cheek pieces.
Anybody have an idea of what day they will be releasing the new crossbows in December?

Re: If you had to replace your crossbow...
Since I am considering the purchase of a new Excalibur crossbow, I emailed the company about the 2021 release. This is the response I got -
The 2021 product line will be release just before the new year

If you are looking to purchase new give Dan Miller at Horizontal Archery a call and he will steer you in the right direction.
Re: If you had to replace your crossbow...
I seem to have located a 308 banshee so If I don't see anything new,in the specs I am looking at I will purchase the 308 the day the 2021 are announced in a week or so. I still have a few weeks of hunting and I am off work from 12pm on the 24th until January 2nd so I have some time in the woods coming up.

Re: If you had to replace your crossbow...
I have so much confidence in my Exomax I would buy another. Not to say the newer and more narrow crossbows can’t get it done. A more narrow crossbow would be nice in my ground blinds but i’ve been able to find ways to use the Exomax successfully.
I guess I am very reluctant to take a chance when deer season only comes once a year. I am physically slowing down quite a bit so don’t know how many more seasons I will be able to hunt. Underground mining and Power Plant maintenance work has been rough on my body!!

Re: If you had to replace your crossbow...
I appreciate everyone's replies to my original first post. If some of you return to this thread, the discussion has created a few questions.
My initial interest was in the Mag 340, but I wouldn't rule out the Bulldog 330 that's in that same price range now. I also wouldn't rule out a classic from the past, but I don't see myself putting much effort in finding the right crossbow going the used route.
Correct me if I am wrong - I have a sense that the newer Excalibur crossbows may have some quality issues. There's been some changes in who owns Excalibur, & the push for more speed may be behind some of these issues? My speculation, not facts. I know mechanical items can break at times, & it happens with most any company.
I don't get sucked into marketing hype. I know that I don't need 750cc ATV to plow out my driveway, because I've been doing it with a 250cc ATV the past 17 years. A 8 MP trail camera can do just as well as a 20 MP camera. My current compound bow is going on 8 years old now, & it replaced by one that I shot for 17 years. I learn to become proficient with whatever I have.
I would rather have an accurate 325 fps crossbow that's pleasant to cock & shoot than a 400+ fps crossbow that's not so pleasant to deal with.
Do I need to be concerned about cracked limbs? I never worry about having a backup bow. Will I feel differently with a crossbow?
FYI - Archery shop owner that I have communicated with said he would have new Excalibur crossbows in stock in about 4-weeks.
Thanks for the input!

400 Suppressor TD, which trigger is used in that model? Reviews?

Quieter than I was expecting, and the same speeds / arrow weight as my Matrix 380.

Don't worry about the whole new vs old quality reports. There are a whole lot more new product being sold each year over the EXO days, and don't forget Facebook didn't exist back then the report on the falling skies.

Re: If you had to replace your crossbow...
It will be interesting to see if the Bulldog 330 remains in the 2021 line up coming out soon, because it doesn't seem as available (on line) as some of the other models like the Mag 340. It may be hard to find a Mag 340 & Bulldog 330 at the same time to compare? I am just speculating. Looking at crossbows is still very new to me.
I am sort of old school literally (recently retired teacher). I had a Facebook account for a time, but closed it down years ago.
