405 recall?
Just saw where excalibur is having a recall on the 405. I am guessing the trigger. Bowtech didn't help with the building of these

Now, now let's not blame BowTech, they barely got there feet wet in this matter. Other than some inconvenience for their owners, it should make not only the Matrix 405, but all models safer and better.RonnieM wrote:Just saw where excalibur is having a recall on the 405.

Easy..... How do you come up with a design change already?foofoo wrote:so theres word of a design change? how would the other models benefit?ComfyBear wrote:Now, now let's not blame BowTech, they barely got there feet wet in this matter.

Re: 405 recall?
just goin by the reply. maybe reading too deep but if the recall makes the 405 safer as well as the other models i gotta believe theres a change somewhere in design.
Re: 405 recall?
I have not heard of a recall for other models. From what I have read it is an issue with their heat treating process, or end result of that process that is isolated to "some" of the 405 trigger components. In my opinion, and I don't represent Excalibur in any way, they have determined the parts that are suspect, and have known to be good parts to swap out. That said, if this leads to a process change, or monitoring equipment that would improve their ability to make consistent parts in a tighter hardness range, then it improves everything going forward!
