trigger problems
trigger problems
Ok, out shooting a few days ago. Was shooting bang on. Then I took a shoot and the arrow hit the target, actually was right on. But the shot seemed louder and the arrow tail was at about 30 degrees of. Kinda sideways to the left. And my serving on the right side had a chunk ripped out. Not a huge chunk but bad enough. Took it out today and now it seems like something is weird with the trigger. And it's not grouping that well.... Tried to get to the trigger but the screw stripped ffs. Well at least I ordered a new set of screws a week ago. Should be here ASAP. Gonna take an old Allan key and steel epoxy it to the screw to try to get it out since my tool for getting stripped screws out won't fit in through the hole in the trigger guard. And I just got my trigger serviced by Excal 2 months ago. Don't get me wrong. Love the bow, and Excal. Just feel like I got a lemon bow. I was thinking about upgrading to a trigger tech. But have heard some bad things about them lately.

Re: trigger problems
I'm sorry but I'm a little unclear. Where exactly is the screw you tried to remove located?

You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Re: trigger problems
It sounds like you did not completely seat your arrow and had a partial dry fire.
Usually the arrow does not make it to the target but sometimes they do.
As for the stripped screw that was your fault..not the bow's. I hope you can get it out OK. You might have to take a dremel tool and cut a slot in it and use a small screwdriver to get it loose. Good luck!

Well any things possible, but I always double check that the safety is on AND the bolt is seated right. But say that's what happened would it mess my trigger up?

Re: trigger problems
I don't know. Something weird about the trigger does not explain what is wrong. But I can tell you that a TT is well worth the money spent. If something did go wrong with your trigger Excal will cover it under warranty.
