AXE ON THE WAY !
So I originally bought an Exocet back in 2004, pick up a Matrix 330 4 years ago and love that Crossbow. My son recently bought an Axe and I have had a chance to try it. I love everything about it except its a bear to cock compared to my Matrix 330. I'm 62 and I can cock it ok but a lot of shooting and cocking it will wear me down. I really like the size of the Axe and after thinking it over I ordered one for myself. I figured for hunting I wont be cocking it a lot so I should be fine. I don't care for the idea of using a crank so I figure when I get to old to cock it I can go back to my trusty M330.

Nice, which model? Here is a picture of my Kryptek with a spanking new string on it! I too love mine, but use the crank. The new model, it makes shooting her a real pleasure!

That's bad azzzz!!!
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: AXE ON THE WAY !
Well, how do you like the Axe? did you get it all setup to hunt yet? I will hold on to the M330 as well, I shot it a few days ago, and what a joy to rope cock! Anyway, hope you like yours as much as I like mine.confederate wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2019 3:41 pmSo I originally bought an Exocet back in 2004, pick up a Matrix 330 4 years ago and love that Crossbow.

Re: AXE ON THE WAY !
Unfortunately I had an issue with my Axe. I got It Tuesday set it up and got it sighted in at 20 yards drilling good. I moved the target to 30 yards to see what my 20 yard crosshairs would do at that distance. My Matrix 330 has a four inch drop at 30 yards using a 386 grain BEZ. I was shocked when I had a 6 inch drop using the same arrow on the AXE. Got my sons Axe out and only had 3 inch drop . Went to local shop and fired the supplied QUILL 350 grain arrow thru the chronograph. It shot 326 fps. I contacted Excalibur and sent it off Wednesday morning for repair. I hate that I got a defective Axe but I think Excalibur will take care. I see a lot of people shooting their Axe at 344. I Just want what is advertised. Looking forward to getting it back hopefully late next week.

Re: AXE ON THE WAY !
Hmmm. I have not shot mine through the chronograph yet. Maybe I’ll do that next week after all this rain passes. Hope you get her back and you’re happy after the service.

Re: AXE ON THE WAY !
Do you know what they did or repair? I yet to fire mine and I not sure who has chronograph for me to test it at. Hope it not something with all axes.
