Congrats on the IBEX. Got me one for Christmas and it's a sweet shooter. Lightweight, compact, and SMOOOOTTTHHHHH. Fantastic critter gitter.

In the words of Larry the Cable Guy..."Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are."

Count me in for a shorter, lighter bow. I'm between 6'4" and 6'5" with a LOONNNGGGG arm (38" sleeve length). I love my IBEX SMF. It's only a BIT bigger than the Vixen II. Keeping the bow short gets the center of mass closer to the shooter's body, making it feel lighter than it is, and...

Unless I'm wildly mistaken, the formula would be: (arrow speed (fps) x arrow speed (fps) x arrow weight (grains)) / 450240 (ballistic constant) Using the formula for a 175 lb draw weight IBEX launching a 350 grain arrow at 305 fps with the optional flemish string, kinetic energy calculates to be 72....

Been under the weather for the holidays. Pneumonia for the second time in a month, but I'm back on the mend. I hope to put the IBEX SMF together tonight. I've just been too sick to fool with it. Wife got me a Rockwell JawHorse for all of those honey-do's she's got planned for me this year. Really co...

I like bacon-wrapped ANYTHING! My son got me some chocolate covered bacon pieces for Christmas. OMG that stuff is good. Hope my heart can take it. BBJ

It appears that the Matrix is not a new model of bow, but a new series of compact bows for Excalibur. I found the following under the Promotional Items tab of the Accessories tab. The golf shirt had the following as the second paragraph of the item description Says Excalibur President, Rob Dykeman, ...

Here's where I found it. BBJ

Has anyone ever tested the S5 system with a sound meter to see exactly how loud and long the sound is before and after installation? Just curious! BBJ

Scott - Let us know when you get the new Ibex and let us know how you get along with it. Hope you like yours as much as I like mine. I really like how light mine is. BBJ

Weellll....with all of the Christmas shopping and hoopla I haven't had a minute to assemble my bow and go shoot it. Even more frustrating AND dissappointing...I haven't had a chance to order any accessories! I did manage to get the box out of my office and to the house. Now I need to get to the 4 da...

You folks in Jackson celebrating Christmas a little early? Congrats on getting the best toy EVER! Heck, Yeah! I just registered for my warranty online with Excalibur and checked out everything in the box. AMAZING quality of construction and equally impressive materials science. This thing is gonna ...

Can you tell I'm juusst a bit excited? The IBEX SMF just came to my office. Now to put it all together and get shooting. Hope to get some time this weekend to do just that. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'm STOKED!

scottb: I'm new to the crossbow game as well. I've done a little hunting earlier in my life, but seldom had time to really get into it. Now that I'm a bit older, I do. As far as the Excalibur line of crossbows goes, I really don't think you can make a bad choice. I didn't want to spend a fortune to ...

Cabelas just sent an email and the bow will be here on Friday, the 14th...4 days sooner! Maybe I can get out into the woods this weekend. Just ITCHIN' to kill something. BBJ
