Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Mark,

I PM'd you several days ago and haven't heard back.

The Great Lakes/Darton Impact is a fast bow somewhat similar to the Stryker. Darton advertises 343 fps with a 475 grain arrow at 165 pounds and a 17" power stroke. http://www.dartonarchery.com/GCLImpact.htm I guess my point is that Darton could have made it even faster by increasing the poundag...

I have read and heard from multiple sources that the reverse recoil from a crossbow will destroy a standard riflescope because they are not built for crossbow reverse recoil. Other sources have said that they have used standard rifle scopes with no problems. So I decided to email customer service fo...

Mark, please check your PM's.

Yea, I would agree that the stock does need some improvement. I was at Bass Pro the other week comparing the Excalibur to the other crossbows and here is what I came up with. The Excalibur stock had more of a hard plastic feel to it when holding onto it and when tapping my finger against it. The oth...

As a suggestion, I wouldn't name the new crossbow organization UCBK. The name and acronym are too similar to the UBK folks. Something like Kentucky Crossbow Association, KCA or Crossbow Hunters of Kentucky, CHK or something along those lines seems like a better choice. From a marketing and a busines...

GaryL, I'm just looking for what I consider the ideal crossbow scope for me. I would think that field of view would be very important because of how close in the game is likely to be. If you go up in power from say 1x to 2x the magnification increases but the field of view decreases. To me, field of...

Bstout, The parallax is set to 50 yards on that scope. Here is an excerpt from Horton's site. Q. What does the term "Parallax" mean? A. Parallax is a term that describes where a scope reticle is focused at a given distance. The industry standard is 150 yards for riflescopes. Crossbow hunti...

Right now, I'm leaning towards the Sightron SI 1x20 scope. A normal duplex reticle and a 111 foot field of view at 100 yards sounds like it would suit me better. I'm almost sure that the mulitple aiming points on a Vari-Zone would either bother me or cost me a nice buck because I chose or was confus...

If I'm going to use my crossbow for just hunting and occasional target practice, doesn't it make more sense to sight in a scope at 30 yards and forget about the multiple aiming points on a scope like the Vari-Zone. A 1 power scope with a super wide field of view and just a normal duplex reticle seem...
