Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Hey guys, sorry if this seems like a novice question but that's what I am :D Just picked up some ex oil to do some maintenance on my bow since getting caught in the rain all day last Saturday. I oiled the trigger and safety mechanism successfully and now want to take care of my fasteners. Question: ...

Thank you!

I was wondering if there was any documentation on the web somewhere that gives the specifications for all of the different screws/fasteners that accompany an Excalibur bow? I noticed the other day that one of the screws and cap nuts that hold on the quiver slide was missing. No big deal I thought, s...

Hey guys, Quick question regarding the flat inserts that are standard on the diablo bolts for the matrix 380. I noticed after my last shooting session, the insert on one of the bolts had come out of the bolt about 1/2''. I simply pushed it back in and wasn't able to get it back out or move it by jus...

Thanks for the replies. Good to know! Just going to fletch my other practice arrows to match the first one I referenced. Measured it after Dan's reply and even though it's further up than the factory fletching, it did come out to 1.25'' so I'm not worried

Hey guys, I recently picked up an Arizona EZ fletch bolt jig and some 2'' blazer vanes. This is my first time messing with fletching a bolt myself so I just had a couple questions.. I noticed after placing my bolt into the rig until it rests on the nock receiver in the jig (Diablo 18'' bolts with fl...

Awesome.. Thanks everybody. This was simple but very helpful.

Glad I checked now.. Didn't realize there was a specific bolt version

Going to grab one of those and some 2'' blazer vanes.. Is there a specific glue that is preferred?

Researching around the past couple weeks it seems a decent consensus that the Arizona EZ fletch tool is perfectly capable and simple for fletching bolts (especially for a beginner, which I most definitely am). I just wanted to ask some opinions on the Helical that you guys prefer on your bolts. I'm ...

Loctite must be accompanied with enough fastener torque. A fastener that is not tight enough will come loose with or without loctite. Yeah, makes sense. My bow never had any applied to it though I discovered. All 4 fasteners I removed from the rail last night were bare. When I was initially assembl...

So finally after work I was able to get home and take a closer look at my loose rail/guardian adf.. The screws are definitely loose. I was able to unscrew them completely with my fingers. I've never used loctite before, but based on other times and scenarios I've used some sort of glue throughout my...

I'm definitely interested in seeing what custom strings/bolts people are selling. Is there a custom shop on the site somewhere or are these transactions done through forums/private chats? As for the blue loctite, I am picking some up today. I noticed after my last shooting session that the guardian ...

Thanks for the replies. So I do think I am going to go with the Arizona EZ Fletch Bolt Fletching Jig. You mention Helical is best for broadheads, how much are field points affected with the same fletchings? From what I can tell, I need to choose the correct tool, ie they sell one that does helical r...

Hey guys, First off, complete crossbow beginner here so please keep that in mind with some of my questions. I purchased the Matrix 380 and received it this past Wednesday (7/20). Bought a 400 FPS target to go along with it. So one of my first observations after assembling the bow was that the string...
