How can I tell which model crossbow I just received?

Post by tbear93 »

I purchased my husband an Excalibur bow and just received it.... the box states that it is a micro 355, which is what I ordered. But the tag on the bow itself states that it is a micro 335. Is there a way to tell the difference since there is no serial number? The place that I ordered it from stated that Excalibur just put the wrong tag on the bow. Please help, this is a gift & I wanna make sure that it's the right one.

Thanks,
Tammy

Tammy, Use a tape measure and measure the distance along the top of the rail from the string to the latches. If it's about 12 1/4 inches it's a 355. If the distance is 10 inches it's a 335.

Or if it has a black mainframe and riser it's a Micro 355...

Assuming you bought the stock package, even if it is a 355, makes sure you got the Tact-Zone scope.

The spec sheet data, on this site, for the Micro models 315, 335 & 355 is wrong as it lists the power stroke at 10" and all 3 models use the exact same limbs. The power stroke must be different length to enable the power difference between the CBs.

335 and 315 Micros have grey annodized rails and the 355 have a much darker black one.
