Re: Got me a Vortex Coming
I was a little surprised by the long cocking stroke but its not bad just longer .
Its about the limit of my 5'6" reach but getting used to it now. No worries.

Re: Got me a Vortex Coming
This has been a fun thread for me to follow, since it all started back in July/August one day when a deal popped up on Craigslist and we decided to take the kids for a drive. I got it not knowing for sure what I'd do with it, ended up selling it to the guy that then sold it to xcaliber not long after. Cool to see the new life you breathed back into it. Looks like it found a new long lasting home.

Re: Got me a Vortex Coming
I have that cheek piece coming soon, and Paul gave me the hole to hole dimension, and it's spot on! I think that will be the last thing I do with her until I get to do some serious shooting. The Kid dropped by last night to grab the deer cart, he's taking a work buddy out with the muzzle loaders. He saw the Vortex in the case Bill sent me, and being the smart arse hunting buddy I love, he asked me if I had a Piano in the case.wheelsquad wrote: ↑Fri Dec 11, 2020 11:10 amThis has been a fun thread for me to follow, since it all started back in July/August one day when a deal popped up on Craigslist and we decided to take the kids for a drive.

Re: Got me a Vortex Coming
Dan, just put together an Exomax. Thats the bow that I started with in 2009. I had forgotten as well how long cocking stroke was. Know what you mean about shortening the cocking rope. At 5'8" that is a stretch!xcaliber wrote: ↑Thu Dec 10, 2020 6:23 pmShoots great, just like any other Excalibur I ever shot. I'm a bit high at 20 yards, and good at 30 yards off hand with both. Done with her for now folks, I forgot how long the draw was, I shortened the cocking rope a lot! The Big Foot didn't make it easier.

Re: Got me a Vortex Coming
Yep, and the Bigfoot adds another 2" to that! I'm 5'8" tall, and I'm about out of arm when I reach the trigger latches.

Re: Got me a Vortex Coming
I’m new to Excalibur’s. Started collecting and hunting with them since 2019 and I have the Bulldog 440 and the MAG 340. I thought the Bulldog had large limbs but this bow just kills the Bulldog but the thing is the BD shoots 440FPS and looks like a bada$$. I just recently purchased the MAG 340 Kryptec Raid because I was having trouble hunting in a small blind last year with the BD440. The MAG340 is a perfect size. I haven’t shot it yet. I’m waiting on some backup limbs and the explorer case for the crossbow before I take it out. It is one mean looking bow. can’t wait to shoot it!xcaliber wrote: ↑Tue Nov 17, 2020 4:16 pmFinally found one that I think is worth the price, and jumped on it thanks to a tip here that someone had one for sale on another forum. So far it's worked out great! More to come folks, might just become top dog for next year !

Re: Got me a Vortex Coming
The Vortex looks good Dan! I regret ever selling my Vortex! I just needed a smaller imprint for hunting out of my box and ground blinds.

Got the limbs yesterday, and there is no doubt that they are brand new. Thanks Boo!
