measurements of short and compact xbows

Post by JSUN »

Hi,
too bad excalibur doesn't list the overall length of all their xbows anymore. the general description would say, "most compact crossbow engineer" in at least two different models.

anyway, my question is what are some really short and compact xbows and what are the measurements?

thanks

From one end of the micro lineup, you got the 308shorts at 30" and the suppressor at 31".
315=32
335= 32.5
355=33
Give or take, I haven't owned a non BD micro in a while now

It’s not an Excalibur, but the Killer Insinct Swat 408 is only 29” long.

I have no idea if it’s a quality bow or not, but is does sport a novel design where it buries the string into the stock, giving it a longer effective draw length.

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

I usually try not to knock things with out having hands on experience but I don’t think I would be comfortable with that string so close to my face. Lol
