Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Just checked the trail cam, 9pt and an 8 came through last night. Huge spike in buck activity.
Daylight hours still seem unproductive, but I'm predicting that will change very soon.

I let 4 Doe's walk yesterday & 4 this mornin ARE YA SICK!!!! what ya doin lettin deer walk Mikey! At least one of them "talkin bows" is gonna be pissed! I hate to shoot me best lure n bait set-ups til after i getstid a good'en :lol: I done popped one Doe, but i have let this yearlin D...

Take a look at the back of the rubber bumpers.
If the string is hitting the bumpers then the S5 is doing it's job!

She's definitely making contact. I was just curious if being closer would quiet the bow down a hair.

Have been... Will continue to... No worries.

Good. Thanks!

Got around 50 shots through my new bow now, and have left her cocked two nights in a row... String still hasn't dropped past the rear brace line. I'd think about taking a twist or two out, but looking at the string, it only appears to have 4 twists in total... I'd like to get 'er down a little close...

Watched a good sized 9pt chase around a group of does just after shooting hours tonight... Fella was definitely on a mission.
I think things are starting to kick off here in MN.

Darwinism at it's best.

If it is torn directly where the right latch finger hold the string them you are best to contact Excalibur. Is this a common problem?? My serving broke in that exact spot just this morning. Fortunately re-serving was a snap, but after reading that, I'm genuinely concerned. EDIT; Followed Boo's How ...

He's more of a ghost than anything... Rarely shows himself on the trail cam, and I've only caught a glimpse of him once during shooting hours.
Hopefully this will be the year, I think he's ready.

But isn't there a certain amount of stretch in new strings that will eventually change the brace?
Or am I over-thinking this?

Just a guess... But probably not. If it's off, it wont be off by much... depends on the brace height.

Though I highly recommend sighting in EVERY time you change something.

I've been watching this fella grow for three years...

Positive vibes... Positive vibes...

If the bore laser was the proper diameter and length to fit snug and square on the rail, I couldn't see any reason why it wouldn't get you close... Just be sure to account for arrow drop, which would be done while fine tuning for your distances.

There are no dumb questions!
