Custom stirrups?

Post by Chefrific »

Does anyone make aftermarket or custom stirrups for excals?
I want to use bullhead broadheads for turkey hunting and the stirrup on the excalibur doesn't allow enough clearance.

Most people take the factory stirrup off and make one out of rope,,,,,
it falls down out of the way when you shoot,, then you can always put it back on if you want to............ Works Great :wink:

You put the end of the rope thru the holes in the riser, where you mount the s,5s ,,,, tie a big knot in each end. :) A rope strong enough that it won't break other wise that could hurt, and you'd be talking with a higher picthed voice. :lol: :lol: :shock:

Hey papa bear thanx for the info. I use the S5's so that won't work for me.
