mega 405 limb # mean nothing so you know
my 405 is one bad wama jama plus now I have new limbs and a spear set..both sets look better than what came on kong they fit the riser better also..now for limb numbers for all that think higher numbers mean something..set that came on the bow were #95-94 ..warranty set from woody's # 49-49.5..set from canda #09-09 no speed lost bow screams with 425gr arrows..105 limbs wont shoot any better so that's all bs..as for turn around time woody's from the day I sent them until they came back 7 days..set from Canada [$90 shipped] 8 days both sets came with new strap bolts..i gota say dawn at Excalibur is top notch in my book..on top of that im getting to hunt a logging job that hasn't been hunted in years the oaks are 36" in diameter and 100 years old..lifes good ill be sitting in the deer woods with the 405 this weekend

Re: mega 405 limb # mean nothing so you know
New to forum , on here due to major problems with 405 limbs. On my 5th or 6th set in a month I lost track ! Notwithstanding one limb replacement last year. As I sit in my deer stand this set I see is now splintered . Limbs average 6 shots then either splinter horizontal or vertical. On two sets the limbs broke open on the cocking cycle in between anti dry fire and trigger set. Not new to crossbows. Is anyone else having this much limb failure ???????????

6 shots per set of limbs????

Re: mega 405 limb # mean nothing so you know
Yes that is the average. 4 shots to resight. And a discharge at night after hunting .
Re: mega 405 limb # mean nothing so you know
I think I would ask Excalibur if they would send me a new riser to see if that helped after going through that many sets of limbs.

Re: mega 405 limb # mean nothing so you know
I agree. No one is that unlucky. I would send the whole front end back to get the riser checked. Hope you get to the bottom of this very perplexing problem.hotdog wrote:I think I would ask Excalibur if they would send me a new riser to see if that helped after going through that many sets of limbs.

Have had different front ends. Doesn't make a difference. Will be driving to a warranty center with the whole bow sometime next week.

What arrow weight are you using and what brace height do you prefer?

Re: mega 405 limb # mean nothing so you know
If I had back to back failures I'd be sending the entire rig back. I've never heard of anything like you're describing.

Shooting Diablo with 150 grains. Brace height is now half inch up from bumpers.
Re: mega 405 limb # mean nothing so you know
Ugh,
I just noticed one of the limbs on my 405 is splintering. I was hoping it was a fluke, but it seems I am not alone. I will say customer service is very very attentive and I appreciate that. I'm sure like many of you this happened right in the middle of the season, I have yet to take a deer with it so the timing couldn't be worse. I'm seriously thinking about buying a spare limb set just in case this happens mid hunt again. I really like the 405 and hope the company can improve the design so this does not become a recurring issue.

Re: mega 405 limb # mean nothing so you know
Well maybe not quite that bad but this is the second year in a row that my son and I have had limb failures during our 2 weeks of stringed moose hunting season. Our hunt is short lived again this year. Very frustrating indeed. Ok CS is great but it's not like they're out at the hunt camp with us!!! I've contacted CS and waiting for a reply from Dawn. I have pics that I may post later today.....Steamnmad11 wrote:New to forum , on here due to major problems with 405 limbs. On my 5th or 6th set in a month I lost track !

I have a 405 and my son has a blackout 380.
Oh yeah, I don't need to put it through the torture test, they self destruct on their own

Re: mega 405 limb # mean nothing so you know
I've got a 405 and a 405+++ which is like your bow on steroids. It's a custom build. I can tell you without a doubt in my mind that there is NO design flaw with the riser. You can warranty the limbs and hopefully the new ones have been baked the correct amount of time.craig412 wrote:Ugh,
