M380 blows [Picture]
Just shot a practice shot before going sitting in my turkey blind and the left limb let go the limb tip is gone and im not going turkey hunting today. It ruined a pair of diablo lumenohttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b295/typical10/DSC02695.jpgck arrows too. Less than 50 shots on it!
It actually gave me a warning I didn't recognize. I shot my first shot off the bench and it went 15 yards and nose dived, I reloaded and it did it again and this time it made a very loud crack. Both lumenocks were broken off in the process.

Did you call Excalibur yet? They will take care of you!!
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.

Re: M380 blows up
I'm trying to piece together the whole event and asked if the string stayed on with not information much to go on.

Bummer! Excal should have you up and running in no time. Well okay, maybe a little more that.

The limb tip pulled off the limb, it appears that it is 2 pieces, limb and limb tip, and the tip is expoxied on.
Re: M380 blows up
Sorry to hear about that. Someone else had the same thing happen not too long ago, the magtip came off and went downrange and the string slid up the limb. I can't find that thread now, sorry. But it makes one wonder which is causing the other to happen. I'm also curious how it ruined 2 arrows? In any event, contact Excalibur, they'll take care of you.

You have had terrible luck with that bow since you got it! Hopefully after they fix your limb issue things will turn around for you. Good luck typical10!!

Re: M380 blows up
It's real easy to get a bad impression when the first time you buy a product you have a bad experience with it. But Excalibur makes some of the best, most reliable crossbows on the market, some folks here been shooting the same Excaliburs for decades. That's not to say they're 100% perfect, but they stand behind their product and they'll get you fixed up.typical10 wrote:1st crossbow ever and IM not impressed AT ALL!NEPAbowhunter wrote:You have had terrible luck with that bow since you got it!

I'm not knocking the new Matrix bows at all, i want a 355 myself.typical10 wrote:1st crossbow ever and IM not impressed AT ALL!NEPAbowhunter wrote:You have had terrible luck with that bow since you got it!

But i would seriously consider purchasing a vixen or one of the 175 pounder's as back up. You rarely here of any issue's with these bow's.
Sight it in then go and play with speedster's...you will never have to worry about missing some wood's time again!!
