Who's going to join me.

Post by ComfyBear »

Well, it's been a few years that I bought a new crossbow. Although, over the years I've owned over a dozen, I never owned a Micro. The AXE 340 has changed all that. Soon I'll be the proud owner of one.

Lou, I bought a Micro 335 as soon as they came out. First time Colton saw it, he claimed it. I am sure interested but haven’t made up my mind yet. Sure sounds like a bargain to me.😁

If I didn’t already have the Micro 355 I would be on this already! Probably the best bargain around in my opinion. I think the only upgrade would be the ACP Trigger. I do like the optional camo too. Let’s see how Jeff reviews his. :lol: :lol:

I'm a picky guy, to the point of being anal at times. So when I get mine I'll let you know what I think of my new little toy.
If anyone on here already has one, let us know what you think.

Jeff, since picking up the Charger EXT, the Micro 355, and Matrix 380 are a cake walk to handle. I can cock with the rope cocker, but the Cardiologist warns against that. Anyway, that one does seem to be a sweet model to have in the stable, and the size makes it a great one for the blind. I have to get my mind off of this! :eusa-think:

I'd like to cock one. It has the same weight as the micro 335, but .75" less draw length.
That's somewhere around 308 length

I've cocked one, however could only compare it to my Matrix 380, 355, 350. I'd say it easier to cock than the 380 which has only a 260 draw weight,but a longer power stroke. It was definitely easier to cock than the Mega 405.

Something that I've noticed from the Excalibur website. According to the specs below the AXE 340 weighs slightly more than the Micro 335, and it has 13" power stroke. Since I believe I read somewhere that the power stroke was only 10" I'm not sure that the specs are 100% accurate.

Axe 340
  • Velocity (Up To) 340 FPS
  • Draw Weight (LB) 270 LB
  • Draw Length (IN) 13”
  • Mass Weight (LB) 5.5 LB
  • Overall Length 31.75”
  • Width (Cocked) 22” Width (Uncocked) 25”
Micro 335
  • Velocity 335 FPS
  • Cocking Effort 135
  • Draw Weight (LB) 270
  • Mass Weight (LB) 5.2

Trigger is a good one. It’s not the ACP so I’d say a very good Micro Trigger. Not creep and breaks clean. Good hunting trigger.

Just like it's been said: "There's always room for Jell-o." so it is with Excalibur crossbows. "There's always room for one more." :wink:
