Any must have (or highly recommend) upgrades for an Ibex?

Post by Utu »

Just ordered my first Excalibur Crossbow. I choose the Ibex (was a tough choice between it and the Vortex). I am wondering what upgrades you recommend for it. I got it with the "light stuff" package, so currently have a scope, quiver, and a few bolts.

Thanks for your feedback in advance!

Have heard lots of good things about Boo Strings and GP quiver mounts.

:) Depends on where you live as to the accessabilty of quick parts . If you live in the bonnies then an extra set of arrows don`t hurt .For after a few close calls/robin hoods . :shock: An extra string in your pack doesn`t hurt for just in case . :)

WELCOME TO THE FORUM, UTU! :D :D

You're good to go for a while!

Learn the bow, learn the forum; you'll decide whether you need to "accessorize" soon enough.

For all that, you may find that you're not an "accessorizer" ... some aren't! :D

You have one sweetheart of a weapon right there, I'd say a real durable target since you're gonna like shooting it so much!
