Re: M380 blows [Picture]

Re: M380 blows [Picture]

There was no warning with my 405. I shot 4 arrows, all in a 1" dot at 30 yards, then the 5th shot I heard something hit the side of my truck about 15 feet away. I started looking and saw the new string (maybe 25 shots) cut badly on the serving at the loop on the left limb. A piece of the tip ha...

Re: M380 blows [Picture]

My 405 did the same thing this morning. This is not the only issue I have had with this bow. I am truly disappointed in this bow, so much so that I have also thrown in the towel and ready to move on. The bow has been down for one reason or another more than it's been working. I will not bash Excalib...

Re: Trigger mechanism loose screws

Don't want to strip them out. I know the lock washers on the trigger assembly are far past flat plus the Loctite. It will stay together about 30- 40 +/- shots then the groups start stringing out mostly downward.

I can't keep them or the screws that hold the anti dry fire tight in my 405 even with blue Loctite.

Good to know, I haven't tried them in my quiver yet, but they shot extremely well out of my 405.

Re: O/T .22 LR Rant

Hard to come by and expensive here in south Mississippi as well. Saw some off brand standard velocity LR's at a recent gun show (500 brick) for $100. :evil: :evil:
