The original Exocet

[the elf]

Before the original Exocet became the Exocet 200 with a 15.5 inch
powerstroke ;what were the specs? powerstroke and draw weight?

[Cryon]

Exocet 165
15" power stroke

Exocet 175
15.5" power stroke
With straight risers on both.

Angled riser increased draw weight to 200 pounds for Exocet 200

Thanks for info.what years were the 165 ? 175 ? and the 200 ? introduced?

I believe the Exocet 165 was 1992-2000

Exocet 175 was 2001-2004.

Exocet 200 is 2005 to present.

Someone please correct me If I'm mistaken on any ages.
As I could be off by a year on them but pretty close I think.

thats great now i know my old exocet is 175 as i bought it new in 2002!

i wonder if there is any way of determining the age of a bow from serial numbers as its been a long time for me and i'd like to remember the year i bought it

There aren't any serial numbers on Excalibur crossbows.

thanks for the reply, i'm guessing that the first exocet was made in 1992 per the previous posts?

[JRS]

I believe the 165lb models all had cast risers, and when the switch was made to machined, the poundage jumped up to 175.

[Cryon]

The cast risers were on the Exocet 165 and some of the early 175 models for the first year or two they were manufactured then the machined risers were put on the Exocet 175.
The jump from 165 pounds to 175 came with lengthening the rail from 15" on 165 to 15.5" on Exocet 175.

The Exocet 200 still uses the same length rail as Exocet 175 at 15.5" but the forward Or "swept" riser that all the new Excaliburs use increased the draw weight from 175 to 200 pounds.

Have I confused anyone yet??
Hope it makes sense.

thanks for the info, i believe that mine would be the exocet 165 as it was definitely purchased before 2000, closer to 1992, with the assumption that the exocet was not produced before 1992. any idea as to the fps as i'm planning to update from the original drop zone scope to the shadow zone, except that the shadow zone accommodates 250 - 350 fps and i'm not sure my bow fits into this range. any help appreciated.

it wil be in that range, my wife has a vixen ll 150lb,and it in the 260-270 range. good luck.
