TD Compatibility?

Post by PaulSpain »

I don't know if the extremities and rails will be compatible between TD models...
It was an idea that I was thinking about today and I don't know if you have tried it before in the forum. :oops:
But it would be amazing to be able to exchange, for example, a 400 bow with an assassin/micro/bulldog stock, etc, as needed...
With the same bow, having different platforms to quickly switch between light and heavy, for example (my situation/desire, hahahaha).
Did you see any disadvantages or advantages?
I know that some of you make frankenbows and it would be something similar... But more "commercial".

A 400 TD front end will fit on a 340 TD and work quite well. I was getting something in the 370+ range. You wouldn't want to do it the other way around, because I'm not confident that the limbs on the 340 TD would survive the draw length of the 400 TD rail. In addition to being beefier, the 400 TD limbs have a different tip design that allows for a longer draw length.

I like the idea, but it could get expensive really quick. Today the only way to have other options it to buy more bows. And I'm pretty sure that's just the way they like it. :lol:

I killed a nice buck with my 370+ TD, then they came out with the Micro 380 and ruined everything. Now it's the only one that leaves the yard.

Take a look, if there are meetings near you. They call themselves EA, which stands for Excalibur Anonymous.

Soon I will go to those meetings, at this rate... :mrgreen:

I'll check out that archery website!!
The Spanish ones are very expensive and of scarce material and this one is more dedicated to a vertical bow than to a crossbow.
Normally I buy in France or Italy.

You are German!! I have an aunt residing in Düsseldorf for more than 20 years.

You can put a 420TD (matrix limb'd) front end on these rails:
400TD (HO micro)
360TD (standard micro)
340TD (standard micro)
Of these the first would be the best, IMO, but would really only get you to have something that draws and shoots similar to a GRZ2, Matrix Sapphire, Matrix 310. The other 2 even slower, but still are great shooters. I have a matrix limb'd micro 355 and love it for recreational and 3D shooting.

And can put a 400TD (HO micro) front end on these rails:
360TD
340TD
Of these, the first would get you one that is basically the same as the new Micro 380, except having TD. The 2nd one gets you a 360 (or 370 by duck hunt's experience), but with lower limb stress relative to what the HO limbs can handle, compared to the standard micro limb'd 360.

And a 360TD front end on a 340TD rail....and you'd end up with a 340TD :mrgreen:

Can go top-down in each list. But can't really go down-up and not be over-stressing limbs.
