Discontinued for 2014?

[robertyb]

Tim50, give it a rest? It's the end of hunting season followed by the ATA show.

You seem to gravitate toward controversy..........

Dan....Did I start this controversy? Can you really tell me you feel this is being handled properly?? By Bowtech/Excal NOT coming out with an OFFICIAL statement it is putting themselves at the mercy of the forums! This may all just be a rumor! Excal has always been honest & forthcoming in the past! Where is the Marketing Dude to put an end to this??

The 2014 catalog does not list them. Could that be a HINT??

I have not seen a hard copy catalog in years....the bows are still listed on the Online Catalog. One would think when Bowtech/Excal updated the ONLINE catalog with the 2014 bows it would have deleted those bows they decided to discontinue! So you are suggesting there are two 2014 catalogs out there? One with the correct 2014 line-up (hardcopy only)and one with an incorrect/outdated line up (online only)?

Not arguing what the copy of the hard copy catalog sez! What does the forum we are posting on say?

Again,since there is still new stock at retailers just maybe they are still listed on the site for easy comparitive reference purposes.

Again why didn't they leave them in the hard copy for reference purposes as well! Not very professional to have two different 2014 catalogs with different offerings!

I only see one 2014 cat. and why would it contain discontinued models?

"Not very professional"seriously? do you actually believe what you are sayng.Why is this such an issue? .Seems to me you are just looking for things to nit pick Excal about since the takeover.

Don't be discouraged about your new bow being discontinued. Excalibur crossbows are like the Browning Citories of the shotgun world. They are the best made and save for changing strings, they are indestructable.

The models bein discontinued has already been put out. No rumor mill jus a fact, 3 models bein retained are the axiom ibex & vixen2 & thr Matrix line

Vixenmaster....I am not doubting you BUT where did you see the OFFICIAL announcement from the Bowtech/Excal team? I find it unusual that the NEW 2014 additions to the Bowtech/Excal line are on the site and released with GREAT fanfare yet those bows being discontinued are STILL listed and are being given a quiet funeral! Where is the Marketing Dude when you need him!! I personally do not appreciate the attempt to "slip" this by the consumer without an OFFICIAL release. This is NOT the Excal I have known!

I don't think anyone is trying slip anything by anyone. Companies typically don't offer an "official relaease" when discontinuing a product. They just disappear. The hard print catalogue has to reflect the product line for the entire 2014 sales year. The on-line catalogue will reflect what is currently being sold and will change as stocks deplete. That's pretty typical in the modern marketing world. Get with the times.

I hate to hear they'll be phasing the long limb bows out. Do the SMF bows share the same parts as the other long limb bows (other than the rail obviously)? Just wondering what effect this will have on parts and service on the long limb bows down the road?

The way I see it the only change would be the length of the rail or the stock all other is the same, limbs strings trigger
