Official Report!
The 440 is rope cockable... But I'm never doing it again.

The new BE arrows look awesome!
I spoke to Randy at BE who introduced me to his engineer that produced the line and I am confident this arrow choice by Excalibur will make many happy.

Here's another close up Dan.
Thanks, it looks like the profile is small enough closed to make for excellent accuracy.
Viewing the new SWAT HYBRID in your hand appears about the size of a field point and screams accuracy.
So much so, that I ordered 25 HYBRID packs and 25 packs of the new VECTOR for the Canadian market.
I might add, that SWAT does not use any ordinary elastic, but a Military derived Mil strap for strength and weather/ temp. resistance .

I liked everything about this bow. Great balance, quiet, take down design and especially the new trigger which is by far the best of any crossbow I’ve ever shot.

Right back to you Norm and the rest of the guys as well, it was indeed a pleasure.

Everything considered, I think 2019 will be a bright year for Excalibur and Excalibur owners. At the annual technical meeting both Danny Miller and I both said we had few complaints and or changes wanted.
I'm still trying my best not to buy the 440 but at times, I feel compromised.

I do know I need at least one Proshot trigger, especially at the current price!
