Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Thanks for all the response guys,I never carry it on my back with a arrow,I do cock the bow before getting in my stand as I hunt most of the time in small hang on stands,very hard to cock bow on that small platform.It will not just slide up to fire but it is very easy to push,very little resistance....

For the last 2 seasons I have used a friends phoenix to hunt with,finally bought my own this summer.Incredible accuracy,and after I read and reread many of the post about arrow selection and broadhead preferences,I built my own shafts-GTs with brass inserts-100gr slicktricks-and 2''blazers.Thanks ve...

Thought you guys were half blind and hard of hearing,just kidding!Always-always use rope cocker,same problem with field points and BH.String is the one that came with bow and is excellent shape,around 100 shots and still shows very little wear on the bottom side ,I keep it lubed just like I have rea...

THANKS FOR REPLYING SUMNER ,SAME ARROW EVERY SHOT AND STRING IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION , RAIL IS CLEAN WITH NO BUILDUP.ALSO SHOOTING OFF SAND BAGS ON BENCH REST NOT TOUCHING MUCH BUT THE TRIGGER. SEEM TO HAVE READ ABOUT SCOPE ISSUES A FEW TIMES THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS,IS THIS AN OCCASIONAL PROBLEM...

2010 PHOENIX W/VARIZONE,HAS ABOUT 100 +ARROWS FIRED THRU IT.WENT ON A 3 DAY HUNT AND UPON RETURNING HOME SHOT OFF MY BENCH REST , WAS STILL ABLE TO HIT MY DIME SIZED ORANGE DOTS AT 20 YARDS.PICKED CB UP 4 DAYS LATER AND FIRST SHOT WAS 3.5 INCHES HIGH AT 20 YARDS,NEXT FEW ARROWS IT GOT CLOSER BUT STI...

I wipe the shafts with lacquer thinner first,then wipe them with denatured alcohol.After I set arrow in fletching jig I wipe it again with the alcohol in case I touched it.Also wipe the base of the fletching with the alcohol and let it dry, then apply the adhesive.For glue I use Locite super glue pr...

Sighted in the scope with one arrow,just checked weight ,395gr.The other 3 shafts that hit about 1'' lower and 1/4'' left came in at 405gr.To late tonite to see why there is a weight difference.Would have not believed 8 gr.would make that must difference but the proof showed on my target.Will find o...

Hey guys what is a spinner , can I make my own , will go down to my shop after supper and weigh each arrow , nock and inserts are set with a hard hot melt glue,vanes attached with loctite super glue professional -non gel.Awshucks- setup was 20 yrds,sand bags,excalibur crosshair scope,no wind.All 4 s...

All the shaft components and shafts came from wyvern,should i have weighed the inserts,nocks shafts,fletching before building them and then do a spin test.Maybe also weigh the built shaft when I am done assembling them? THANKS EVERYONE

I have 4 20'' new gt shafts fletched with blazers,brass inserts,alum nocks,and 100 gr field tips.Every arrow will hit in the exact hole as the shot before with the same arrow,but none of the 4 hit in the same spot,about 11/4 inch group.I have the fletchings set with all the degree on the shaft I can...

Thanks guys.Looks like the slick-tricks win.But still more choices,100gr.-1'' or 11/8'' or 125gr 11/8''.With alum or brass inserts,with factory or 2'' fletching.Thanks again

Ordered new Phoenix last week , it showed up Thursday , I'm putting it together that night and find out limbs are out of tiller,maybe also a lack of machining where the limb ass. bolts to the rail. So Friday its headed to Ohio to be repaired or replaced.Hope to get it back by this weekend. I was goi...

Have used 75gr mini-blasters since 1993 exclusively,have shot well over 40 deer with them ,of a the deer shot with them only 2 did not come home with me.They make awesome exit holes!!!!I have at least 25 of these that never have been shot.But I have always had alignment problems with them.When I rea...

Thanks for the help guys!Talked to Dan in Ohio a couple of hours ago,limbs are out of tiller.Sending them to Dan tomorrow.Will go back and fill out my profile when I get done here.Excalibur guys please teach the limb tester some Q.C..Bow came in the mail today,now have to send the limbs back tomorro...

When I put the bow together where the string crosses the rail it appears to be out of square.You can pull the left limb back about an inch and this fixes the problem.If you use the back index marks on the rail,the string covers the mark on the left , is about 1/8 past the right index mark.Will this ...
