Picked up my first Crossbow!
Tonight i picked up a used Exocet 200 for about $450. Included I got 'exocet scope, 2 new strings, qiver real tree camo patern, the VHS, String/Deck Wax'
The Crossbow is pretty mint other then a few front rusty screws and a few little paint chips. Tomorrow i hope to switch strings and give it a few shots after I buy some bolts on Saturday. I'm thrilled to own an Excal!

i was just about to point out that that doesn't look like an exocet 200. it looks like an exocet 165. as far as i know the exocet 200's never had carved tips they were all mag tips also i believe all exocet 200's were realtree camo. one thing for sure don't put a fast flight string on it, it will destroy those carved tips . either way enjoy and congrats
That is what they call an Exomag with carved limbs and cast riser. It has a 16" powerstroke, 185lbs draw weight, and rated at 290FPS. The last year of production I believe was 2000-2001. The camo finish is called "Trailcover Permagraphix". The scope on it looks like a DropZone, which is a fixed scope good for bows rate at 300FPS, the quiver is from an Excalibur Exocet with 4 colour (house camo).mattones wrote:I was just told this may not be an Exocet 200? ''It has the way old carved tip limbs, probably NOT the fwd angled riser''
Take care with the string your use, as the only string that can be used on this bow is Dacron, as a FFF string will damage the limbs tips.
It was superseded by the magtipped Exomag, which had the newer "CNC" machined straight riser, a 16.5" power stroke, 200lbs draw weight, and rated at 325FPS because of the extra 1/2" powerstroke. When the angled forward riser was introduced, the Exomag became the Exomax, with the same powerstroke, but 225lbs drawweight, and 250FPS.

The riser on your Exocet 165 is indeed a "machine aluminum" straight riser, which was made using a CNC machine, henced "machined".mikej wrote:comfy bear doesn't that have the strait machined riser. my cast riser on my exocet 165 has 4 small holes in it
Mattones' riser is the older "cast" (i.e. poured) straight riser.
