Just got it

Post by OhioXBowhunter »

New to this forum. I would like to start out this post by thanking all of you on your input on this forum. It was a tough choice between the 380 and the 405 but after going through alot of post I decided on the 405. Hoping to start shooting bolts through it tomorrow. New to Excalibur family had been shooting Hortons since the 80s. When I purchased the 405 the string was imbedded into the REDs, I have since adjusted that and am sitting about 1/4 inch away from them now. Something I wouldnt have done without reviewing this forum. Hoping for lots of success with this beast. Has anyone tried NAP Hellrazors 125 gr I have killed numerous deer with the NAPs Razorbacks and Thunderheads and not really into the mechanicals. Thanks again for all your post you guys got me hooked on this excal.............. :D :D

The Hell Razor is a great choice. Welcome, congrats, and good luck! It is so nice to see someone actually study before making the purchase. :D

I have not tried many fixed blade broadheads from my crossbows. The ones I have tried have been the 150 grain 4 blade Slick Trick and the 100 grain 4 blade Slick Trick standard. Both broadheads have flown like my field points. I shot the 150's out of my old Vortex and the standards I shoot out of my 355 and my Kodabow Bravo Zulu. I shot the 150's because the factory firebolt arrows did not have a brass insert. I have since switched to BEE arrows with brass inserts and have been shooting 100 grain heads. Good luck with your 405!

Check out this video from Kodabow. Chuck Matasic the owner and CEO talks about broadheads and mentions the Hellrazor.

Ohio. I just got the same one 405 4 days ago and love it. Smoking accurate and powerful. Killer combo IMHO. Best of luck to you.
