Returning the trigger

Post by F250-2 »

I have fired my new 380 over 150 times now. The trigger is still terrible, chattering across several "steps" before coming to the break wall. A friend of mine just bought a 380. I fired his - the trigger was smooth as silk. Last night I signed in with Excalibur, obtained my RMA number for warranty work, and received an email promise that they will contact me today. I really like the crossbow. I'll be glad to get the trigger problem straightened out.

I had my 355 trigger reworked after over 300 shots because it would not shoot in.

Lot of them have the grittiness....they need to start polishing them more. If its still not like you want it when you get it back drop a trigger tech in it...problem solved.

Don't fret. Excalibur will take care of your problem. You won't get the same kind of support from the other companies.

I put in a trigger tech in my matrix 355, it's a great product. Still waiting to hear back from excal about my stock trigger.

Excalibur was quick to send the shipping instructions. I actually watched the Trigger Tech video instructions for removing the trigger on the TT web site. I shipped the trigger to an address in Pa. by UPS yesterday afternoon. I have read all the great comments about the after-market triggers that TT makes. Very tempting indeed ! However, at this time, I am concerned about voiding the warranty on the 380 if I did buy a TT trigger.

I think give the oppertunity that Excal can certainly rework their triggers to shoot very well. Jus got mine back from Danny Miller who does a great job, Danny jus knows how to do it. :)

I'm in the same boat, over a grand and the trigger has to break in? money just don't buy what it should. i think the bow, a 380, is pretty slick but the trigger and the way the "lower" is attached to the aluminum rail/body leave some room for improvement. i'm at around 200 shots & the gritiness has smoothed out a bit but there is a false wall some more travel and the real wall...then adios. iv'e gotten to where i can reach the true wall and then relax and fire. maybe a future TT owner, and i don't mind there reppin' here, maybe Excal will get the memo. they should be TT good from the factory for the $. jmo. rf

There must be something wrong with my thinking? I see nothing wrong with TT making a great product to make our excalibur bows have better triggers that we can shoot more accurately with. Just like different arrows or scopes an I don,t see any problem on this fourm or any other . Not taking anything away from excalibur just making them better shooters . I for one thank them for making a great product!!!!!!
What better place to let us know about a great product for our excaliburs than a excalibur fourm ?
