Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Thanks for your reply Gerald. Yes i have tried red dots, i am not a fan of anything optical. I have rugby ball shaped eyes and wear glasses which distorts what i see through an optic. Everything goes to the left!

Good morning to you from Blighty. We are very limited to open sights here.lots of red dots available but thats not what im after, batteries quickly run out, i have looked into pins and even tried to fit an old Barnett pin sight but the costs of making up a front mount were ridiculous. I have now man...

Thanks Gerald.
I have spoken to him in the past hes a throughly decent old school fellow.
Whats happened to this forum there use to be so many people and posts?
I expect farsebook have taken many away. Don't use it myself.

After my failed request for an mfo open sight i was wondering if anyone has a open (front and back) sights for an Excalibur vixen 2? I hate using scopes especially at short range, i can zero at 25 yards with opens and instinctively do the rest. I actually shoot 3ds with no sights at all on my vintag...

Thanks for reply. I have tried contacting them but no reply. Nothing on the net says they have stopped trading.

Morning all.
2 questions. Is Bad river outdoors still trading and/or does anyone have an mfo open sight for sale for a Vixen 2?

Could you please post a link to one. Thanks

Thank you both for replies, i've been looking at options for months but haven't found anything suitable.

G'day all.
As i'm 6'4" i need a 2" entender for my vixen 2,i cannot find any off the shelf extenders, anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

Sean, how did you get your apex to do 245 fps? And with 340 grain bolts?? What fps would you get with a 300 grain bolt?

Hi Sean, did you get my message? Happy to do a swap if there is anyway of unbluing rail? It would look absolutely hideous on a camo stock and limbs bit like Granny in a mini skirt!

Hi Sean, very interested, currently down pub, will pm you later. Are you in UK?

Its already been done alot here in Blighty but mainly just by 25lbs.Pulling a vixen back 40+ times in a day is a killer.

Here in Britain we can't hunt with crossbows, so have to make do with with Target or 3d.Also the powers at B won't let us use cocking aids, so everything has to be done by hand. I have a vixen 2 that i have been shooting for a couple of years and have spent a great deal of money getting it just righ...

Many thanks for your reply, much appreciated.
