Recess in riser. Why?
Why does the arrow tip not sit in the recess machined into the riser? My boltcutters fit in their nicely. It seems it would afford some protection for the arrow when busting through brush.

Re: Recess in riser. Why?
IMO
If the broadheads were actually that" far in " the distinct possibiity would exist of placing your foot in the sturrip and inadvertently pulling the trigger to release the limbs and decock a bow while quite possibly putting a broadhead thru your foot as you had forgot to unload the bolt first...
By leaving it a bit longer to be contained within the area of the stirrup your foot would dislodge it as the foot enters the sturrip. This should bring it to your attention before tripping the trigger to physically decock the bow.
I think your right in thinking it's "For Looks Only"

Re: Recess in riser. Why?
I have heard this also, but if it is a safety issue, why not just run the narrow channel all the way out? Why have a recessed area at all?L. E. Carroll wrote:IMO

Re: Recess in riser. Why?
You can do what you want by cutting your arrows shorter. But as mentioned by Carroll there is safety in keeping your arrows longer so that your boot will kick out the arrow when you put your foot into the stirrup. Excalibur is doing the right thing by providing arrows of a "safe length". They sell crossbows to people who have never used them before...............citiots................and others who would love to sue them for not providing a safe operating environment. Cut arrows shorter at your own risk...

Re: Recess in riser. Why?
That certainly is possible I suppose but surely all 3 of those could be achieved in many other ways while leaving no way to place a dangerously short arrow.nchunterkw wrote:....

Re: Recess in riser. Why?
I wouldnt go further than 16.5 with a matrix bow.because of the foot ,stirrup foot safety and after that your gonna see accuracy drop with a shorter bolt anyway
