Anyone hunting with The Excalibur Cabela's equalizer.

Post by Lasor1 »

I have a Cabela's equalizer crossbow by Excalibur. I just shot my first doe at 35 yards. It was a good lung shot went clean through. I am using nap kill zone 2" broadheads. The doe went about 65 yards up hill and fell. It's been like 15 years since I been hunting and my first deer with a crossbow. Thanks Excalibur for making a nice product. I just wandering if there is more Excalibur Cabela's edition crossbow hunters out there and see what combinations they been using. I can tell you the nap killzone 125gr broadheads on the bolts are a good combo for me thanks.

Congratulations on your doe and welcome to the forum!

Had to look up the Cabela's model. Looks like a matrix "370" - slightly shorter power stroke than a 380, and Cabela's camo. Should be a good reliable bow!

I have looked them over and like what I see especially with the included ADFand at the same price as the Matrix355 without it..... You done good son !! and yes, excaliur provides the same warranty on your model as all the rest of the ones they make.

I got my 355 in trade for the new 330 I could afford at the time of purchase... :roll: otherwise, I too would be shooting a Cabelas 370 Equalizer. :wink:

I just bought a Cabela's Equalizer Crossbow. Will the Excalibur accessories fit on this bow? I looks like the same bow as a Matrix. I'd like to put Air Breaks and the R.E.D.S. (Recoil Energy Dissipation System) on my bow to try to make it a little quieter. I'm new to crossbows and crossbow hunting, but I'm very impressed with the accuracy of this bow. I'm looking forward to harvesting my first deer.
