Excalibur Crossbow Forum

If I am reading correctly the Illinois DNR has dropped the maximum draw weight from the current regulations. Hunting With Crossbows Archery hunters have the option of using a crossbow during certain dates (see below). Specific crossbow hunting requirements remain in effect for a portion of the seaso...

The bucks are chasing in South Eastern Illinois!

Wow, how did i miss this thread? glad i found it cuz i've been thinking about changing my arrows. however, it seems whenever i deviate from the KISS principle i run into problems. i am satisfied with quills & boltcutters, plus they are paid for. i would like to add lumenocs as it took me an hou...

Here is some info on Quill versus Zombie Slayer... FOC comparisons and weight: For the Quill arrow the center point was 11.75 inches and a 21.2% FOC. For the Zombie Slayer the center point was also 11.75 inches and a 21.2% FOC. The Quill had 150 gr. Broad head and Zombie Slayer had a 100 gr. broad h...

I would use the stock crossbow and 16.5 Quill arrows with boltcutter broad heads as you start out. It will be great for deer hunting and the arrow has been optimized by Excalibur. Be aware of FOC as you experiment with different arrow and broad head combinations.After you have gained some experience...

Excalibur Crankaroo Replacement Rope is available on Amazon for $15.84 and free shipping.

You can figure out what the FOC is yourself. Use an object, like a round pen, to find your balance point. Mark it and measure from your nock to the balance point. Here's your equation: Center point - Balance point ÷ O.A.L. (total arrow length with point) × 100 = % FOC Paul Being new at this I am in...

Since I am relative new to using crossbows I have been on a steep learning curve. When I bought an Excalibur Equinox a couple of years ago I used the arrows that came with the crossbow and whatever broad head was convenient. Then I purchased a Excalibur Micro 355 and am using the Quill arrow and a 1...

Yes, I have one for my micro 355. Works great.

in micro 335 i shot quills they shot fine if you turn vanes to find best cock vane. then tried the gt 425 arrows at 18 inchs at .005 .they shot terrible as group.they did put arrow it same holes but not good groups. then went to Zombie at.003 shot in same group ,same holes. went to zombie .001 shot...

I had no problem out to 40 yqrds with poi. The air brakes slowed the arrow speed 4 fps on a micro 355.

I have a Caldwell that works nicely. You can use as a stand alone or collect the data on your smart phone or computer. I use my laptop and collect all the data and the program summarizes the average, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation. You can store the data on a file on your computer.. I have...

I just purchased micro 355 as my 1st crossbow, what would you suggest for arrow and broadhead combo? also what's with adding brass inserts for additional weight? back in my bow hunting days we tried to cut weight in every direction and shoot 125 or less broadheads, current bolt logic seems to be go...

I may be wrong but I have weighed the Quill bolt and it weighs 250 gr. The 9.9 gpi is for a bare shaft. 9.9X16.5 =163.35 gr. Now add in the vanes, flat nock, front insert = 86.65 gr. 163.35 gr plus 86.65 gr = 250 gr. now add 150 gr broadhead and the total weight is 400 gr. I am using the 16.5 inch Q...

Congratulations, Great Story! Our season starts Saturday and can't wait.
