Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I guess everyone has their own standards for what they will shoot or not shoot. The main thing I fell is that you take pride in what you get and enjoy the thrill of the hunt. it don't get any better than that.

Thanks Scott for taking the time to put all this together

Don - Your strings show the pride you take in making them - well deserved review!

Great choice - I started with my first crossbow a Vortex last year. Added a Boo string and STS to cut down the noise. Very happy with everything and everyone here is very willing to help so just ask away.

I used aluminum for years and just got sick of them bending.

That pretty much sums it all up about Aluminum - Carbon is my choice.

Rage 3 blade has been my choice.

Guess that was back in the earlier days when boo was just getting into deer hunting
I hope he has improved on his calling
I really liked the gun for backup on the big ones!

As Boo already stated keeping the string just barley touching the pads makes the difference. On my Vortex I also had to cut down the steel legs that these pads slip over in order to accomplish this as there is not enough adjustment as it comes from the manufacturer.

Welcome to the forum :lol: I am still in my first year of my Vortex crossbow and have stayed with the carbon firebolts that came with the right stuff package other than refleching them with brighter vanes and adding Luninock. I was a carbon man with my bow and never had any issues so I have stuck wi...
