We have been doing an incredible amount of testing with these limbs and can not recreate the issues some users are claiming. We have left original Micro 335's with the older riser cocked for weeks, dropped them on the limbs from 20 feet, continuously dry fired them and have thrown everything we can at them and can't recreate the same limb failures.

Why do some people have multiple limb failures while the majority have no issues? It's very puzzling. All we can do is work with you and figure out the problem and get you hunting with it.

I know when people read posts like this they think the sky is falling and we are having major issues but it's simply not the case. The Micro 335 has had better limb reliability than the old Exomax! I know some think this is BS but its true, I'm constantly monitoring all warranty and the Micro has a good warranty record.

We realize any problem during the hunting season is very frustrating and we are doing our best to keep everybody happy.

Strange isnt it.I sold 4 micro bows to friends..John bought his last month at Dunhams in pa.Guess what its gen 1 micro..I said john you lucky crap they are better than gen 2 in my opinion .So gen 1 is still out there.

we take it out shoot it great shots ..he heads to woods he is walking and he hears TINK ,TINK THEN NOTHING ..Looks and it looks like someone blew up limb right at the left bracket with split that went straight down top split out 1/2 inch like you would shaved the limb in half.inside was all white with fibers that looked like someone put firecracker inside..

woodys has those limbs so peter could look at it if he likes...

My friend its from that paste wax you had on limbs of all your Micros ,Paste wax has a acid compound to clean a product before wax gets into the finish.

sproulman you destroyed your micros limbs weaken then with your paste wax ,people need to stop blaming Excalibur for broken limbs its the user not knowing what he or her doing.

Thanks for text today sure we are still going on a moose hunt in 2017.
JOE I thought it was bear hunt... :roll:Maybe you can give folks here a ole back roast ,how is your Kodabow doing? :lol:

Sorry, Gene :mrgreen:
Now that takes a man to admit he is wrong, glad you posted and not neglect this thread. thanks. :)
Now for myself I thought this maybe possible I've seen cases where things weren't fixed and had to be looked at a differently to figure out why things are happening and not look at the obvious.

Thank you Gene, your very kind. I have no intention of bashing Excalibur. The warranty system has been top rate so far. I actually love the Excalibur bow, and when it works it is an awesome piece of equipment. Here in SE Georgia the deer population has gotten so large that it is no longer a challenge to hunt with a firearm, kinda like shooting fish in a barrel, the limit this year is 12 per hunter. So a few years ago, I began bow hunting. That turned out to be more of a challenge than I had expected. Since then, my right eye has deteriorated and I can no longer shoot a bow, so the crossbow has been a great option, I can shoot it left handed and it still presents the challenge of hunting with a bow. I consider my maximum range to be about 40 yards, actually better than I could do with a compound bow. I'm sure most here on this forum can extend that range considerably, as the bow is capable of much more. At 20 to 40 yards, it's as accurate as my Browning x-bolt, and just as deadly. My purpose in posting here on the forum was to seek advise and guidance from those who should know more than anyone about Excalibur bows.

Hopefully the suggestion I got here to contact "Peter" at Excalibur will lead to a resolution of the problem. Thanks, donald.
