Re: Tested some Excals today

I was finally able to shoot the Micro 335 yesterday. It was definitely easier to cock than the micro 355. It seems like I could do some all day shooting with that. At least an easy 20 to 30 shots. Very sweet. I still want to shoot the 315 and maybe the 355 Matrix but so far I am leaning towards the ...

Re: Tested some Excals today

Paulaboutform, I haven't checked out the trading post section. Didn't know it existed. I'll have to try and navigate to that. Thanks for your advice. Thank you everyone. It's really great to have so many people that don't even know me lend their time to help a brother out. Thank you everyone.

Re: Tested some Excals today

Thanks BrotherRon. I'll check that site out and build one. You may have just saved me some money. Rather-Be-Huntin, that's interesting. 5 fps is also not worth the extra draw weight as well. I went to Bass Pro today. All they had was a Micro 335. I wasn't able to shoot it because the range was close...

Re: Tested some Excals today

Thanks for the advice. I sure love the size of the micro but at that price it is tempting. Still can't afford it right now but diffidently getting an idea of what would work for me. I wish Excalibur would let you choose the trim levels for your x bow. They make the heaviest weight bows available wit...

Re: Tested some Excals today

Regarding noise, the 355 had REDS installed and the 330 did not. I bet that was the difference in sound. Sorry, don't want to give out bad info. If anyone would like me to note a certain detail when I test the Micro 335 and 315, please let me know. Actually any Excal bow for that matter. I'll test a...

Tested some Excals today

:D Hello all. I tested some crossbows today. The last only one I tested before these was the Exomax a few years back. I figured I would share my opinions. First off, I noticed that the matrix line was significantly more compact than the older models. The matrix I tested was the 330 which I have been...

Re: Hello everyone. Another newbe grasshopper.

Thank you all for the replies and the warm welcome. After reading your suggestions, I'm thinking I should go up to at least the 355 but still need to go shoot a few. I have to wait a few months to make sure my job situation is stable. It just wouldn't be responsible with a wife and two little ones u...

Re: Please say a prayer for my nephew(He has left us)

Sorry to hear the news. My hat goes off to him. I couldn't last a fraction of what he's endured. Men like him motivate us all to quit complaining about life and enjoy what we have. My thought and prayers are with him, you and your whole family. I think it will do him good to just have all the love a...

Re: Hello everyone. Another newbe grasshopper.

Thanks for the reply bubba. If you don't mind me asking, how would you say your 355 compares to your Ibex when cocking?

Hello everyone. Another newbe grasshopper.

Hello everyone. I'm new here but I've been visiting this forum for years and as my name suggests, I've been drooling over Excaliburs since about 2007. I'm only 34 years old so one day when I'm all growed up I hope to get a Matrix. Deciding between the 330, 355 or 380. Leaning more towards the lighte...
