Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I am going to be ordering a Matrix Grizzly in the next few weeks and im getting some of my arrows cut down ready for it. My question is will 17 Inches be short enough so the point doesn't protrude past the end of the Stirrup?

Thanks,
Ryan

Im just looking over the stats on the two bows, both at 200lb draw and was wondering how come the Grizzly has a power stroke of 11.5 Inches at 305 FPS and the 310 has a power stroke on 10.9 Inches but at 310 FPS. Is it something to do with the SMF Rail?

Just wondered if anyone has attempted cocking the Micro by hand, and succeeded

Thanks for the information :) I have visited Outdoorhobbies and have just ordered some! looking forward to trying them out. why is all the good stuff so hard to find over here haha i have also looked at importing certain things, but not sure exactly how badly i would get stung for the import duties ...

Sounds like a tough shaft to me!
I am also from the UK and wondering where did you manage to purchase these from? im guessing you had to import them in from somewhere. what kind of price did you end up paying for these? would like to get hold of some and give them a go myself!

Hello I was going to purchase some Easton FMJ Bolts however the dealer only supplies them with half moon nocks, and due to my location cannot easily get hold of any flat nocks. I was wondering if I could use the Easton RPS Inserts as flat nocks for the bolts, and if so which size? I cannot seem to f...

Just reading your post and I said to myself, self and I knew it was me rite away cuz I recognized my own voice :) I wonder how hard it actually is, so I grabbed the little Mrs. 330 and tried it. It's actually easy to cock back but a little tight on the fingers. I would have to say it's just like he...

I just prefer doing it by hand to be honest! Never even unpackaged the rope cocker haha

Hello I was just wondering if anyone would be able to help me out. Has anyone tried Hand cocking their 330? if so how does it compare with say a Ibex or any other older model at that poundage. I ask because it is illegal to hunt in my country so pin point accuracy is not needed so much, I just enjoy...

Happy new year everyone from your friends across the waters

Well its my birthday today and lucky me my folks got me a Bohning fletching jig and a spare Crossbow String! I may have had to show them exactly what I wanted Cant wait to get some shafts and blazers ordered and start craftin' up some arrows!!

Congrats!

Decided to put my Ibex through my chrony and here are the results, with the standard stock string its shooting 384g arrows at 290 fps and 420g arrows at 282 fps, I may have to look at getting a Flemish string now to see what a difference it will make!

Try holding moving your forearm grip way back so that your left elbow is supported by your ribs. (mine is right ahead of the trigger guard) That way you use less muscles to steady your bow. Are you breathing correctly? A few deep breaths and let out enough air so that your diaphragm isn't working? ...

Ahhh i see mine has a SMF anyway so it shouldnt be a problem!
