New to Excalibur

[USAF Ret in Wis]

Bought an Excalibur Assassin. It shot lights out today, and I'm glad it didn't take long to sight in...it was only 27 degrees.

Any suggestions on things I might need?

Some good arrows and Broadheads. Definitely a warm heater! Good luck from a fellow Wisconsinite!

Congrats on the bow! Get s string changer and a spair string from one of the tailented string makers found in the trading Post section on the forum their are several makers and they all make a quality string.

Welcome to the forum
Idea’s on what you might need...
Another Excalibur!!!
No one on this forum can have just one

Thanks guys.

I have a stringer, and Black Eagle arrows. I have both Slick Trick and Truglo 4 blade expandable heads. Any suggestions on which to use?

Also, I have 2 Scorpyd Orions to go with this Assassin, so not sure when I'll 'need' my next crossbow

Welcome to the forum, congrats on the new Excalibur, and thanks for your service. Sounds like you're pretty well set, and understand the crossbow as well. Which broadheads to use depends on the accuracy you get.

Good luck!

I'm a fan of fixed blade heads versus mechanicals, but either type will kill deer very well when placed properly. My favorite fixed blades are Slick Tricks and RamCats. 125gr or 150gr.

Welcome to the family. get some Black Eagle Zombies slayers and some slick tricks and you be good and stay warm.

Welcome aboard and thank you for your service to the USA. Much appreciated!

One thing that you will learn on this forum is that we are always eager to help you spend your money !

With that said, also bear in mind that many people shoot the Excalibur Crossbow's never having paid mind to changing out anything on the OEM...and with much success, I sure!

1. Upgraded Scope- Hawke, Nikon, Leupold (although Luppy no longer makes the Crossbones scope),

2. Black Eagle Archery Arrows- Executioners or Zombie Slayers. There are also some arra makers on the forum if you're interested. Otherwise there is Danny Miller in Ohio 1.740.483.2312, Dave at Wyverns Creations and Jerry at South Shore Archery....all of these people can help take some of your money!

3.Stringer- to maintain proper brace height is a must!

4. Arrow puller- Highly recommend you reach out to Danny Miller for his....the best on the market!

5. Good string wax!

6. Extra string! In the future you might want to consider a Flemish string....A lot of good string twisters on this forum! Vixenmaster, Boo, NChunterkw and others.

7. Lighted nocks- Lumenoks, Ignitors, firenocks.

8. Good target- reinhardt, ThirdHandBag

9. rangefinder-

10. Dr Stirrup Accessories- Stirrup, bumnpers and a highly recommended upgraded quiver!

11. Broadheads- your choice!

12. Most important ask as many questions as you can.....a lot of very knowledgeable professors in this forum.

Glad to have you on board.

I've used Slick Tricks for a couple of years and they're great heads but I really like the Truglo expandables the 3 deer we shot this year left great blood trails and short recoveries.
