Another reason I love my Excalibur

[XB I GO]

I inherited a crossbow with wheels. At first, it seems attractive. Lightweight, 385 fps, folding stock and nice scope. It has a good Trigger Tech in it. When you shoot targets the groups are great. Just don’t try to hunt with it.

My Mayrix 380 and Ibex will shoot the brand of fixed broad heads I like The same as field points. Not the wheelie bow!

No matter what fixed broadhead (I tried 5 different versions) it throws them wildly down and left and will not group. I have no idea why the Excalibur bows get it done without fuss but this one can’t. I’m going to give it to someone who likes expandable BHs. It does work with those.

Thank you Excalibur for trouble free no fuss crossbows!

I found that the faster the bow is the more radical the flight is when using larger heads, it seems like you’re verifying my findings as well. The simple, easy maintenance of the Excalibur crossbow is their strength in my opinion, you made the right choice!

Sounds like a cam timing issue XB.

I slow-mo'd a video of my cams firing. They seem to be in synch. Field points, expandable's and very small, light fixed BHs fly straight and consistent. This wheelie bow is going to get one hunt with one notch on it and then its outta here to be replaced by an AXE.

That my young friend is the best course of action!!! With all the moving parts on a "pulley bow" some of them just will NOT shoot certain types of broadheads. You may find a mechanical that will shoot out of it, but I doubt a fixed can be found.
I have a buddy who just bought a 340. He can't stop grinning!!!
Good luck during deer season. Remember bow season starts on October 3rd!!

XB I Go, sounds like you already have it all figured out! Good luck.

My opinion is the same... My Griz shoots fixed Excal 150 grain broad heads or 125 grain Spitfires dead on with minor scope adjustments. My buddies Killer Instinct Ripper 415 shoots field points really well when he has it ..You see he had the serving come off first day he shot it. After that repair the limbs cracked the next time we were shooting . KI has great service I've read..yup they sure do the Ripper was sent back in June and we are approaching Sept.1st and he has no bow. The day his limbs cracked he was testing broadheads . Not any of the 4 different broadheads would fly with any consistency . But maybe that was due to the limbs being to fail. Mean while the slow poky Griz which I took a 160 class buck with 2 years ago and 4 bucks in 5 season underwent major work this summer....I changed the string ...myself in 5minutes or less.. At 66 speed does not impress me but accuracy does and a good hard hitting arrow broadhead combo...Good Luck this archery season !
