Re: Offspring crossbow

I would like to see them put this new Excal/Stryker hybrid through the same DURABILITY TEST in which the other five unnamed wheeled crossbows failed miserably when pitted against the M380. That DURABILITY video was so instrumental in getting me to choose Excalibur and the recurve concept. In fact I ...

Re: Offspring crossbow

I sure hope it really is a rugged wheeled XB otherwise it could tarnish Excalibur's image having their name associated with it.
If I buy a new XB it will be a 405.

Re: Rail Lube

When I bought my Micro I asked and Danny Miller and he told me not to use anything on my serving or rail.
I was afraid to ask him "why not"?

Used crossbows and warranty

The Excalibur Warranty specifies "original owner" but what are the real life implications of owning a used Excalibur bought on the Trading Post and having issues down the road that would have normally been covered under warranty??? I have even read somewhere that some crossbow companies wo...

Re: Predator calls

Figure I should update this thread. I ended up getting a Foxpro wildfire 2. Decided to take it out this morning and within 20 minutes had a small female come in. Dropped her at 40yds, 10-15 minutes later I had a male come in and dropped him at 120yds. Beginners luck! http://i100.photobucket.com/alb...

Re: Question on new 405 setup

Brian, please compare the pros and cons of both the M405 and the 165. There's no question the Scorpyd is in a power/speed league all it's own. Thanks. Sew, They are very different. The scorpyd is heavy but well balanced which helps do to the RDT design. Cocking is way way WAY easier with the scorpy...

Re: matrix 330 or micro 335

If that is the price for the complete package in Canadian dollars that is amazing.
If you have disc/back problems the micro can be a problem. I am 61 and I don't find it hard to cock, BUT if I don't use good form It will aggravate my sciatica.
Good form is a must.
