Excalibur Crossbow Forum

With the training heads they hit the target at 30 meters. I can get the 3 shots in the area of a 2Euro coin.
then i change to Razorcaps and they hit 6-8 inches to the right and 1-2 inches up.
I user 3 blades and 3 bolts.

theres must be something wrong with the razorcap blades!

thanks
Paulo

Hi widowman

Thanks
Paulo

Hi Finaly tested the razorcaps 125 with aluminium 2219 this weekend... couldnt be worst!! They hit the target between 15-20 cm to the right when comparing with the same bolt but with practice head (125 gr too). I've tried 3 bolts and the 3 razorcaps blades and they all have the same problem. All i'v...

Hi What's your experience with RazorCaps blades (125grains)? Are they accurate? I always used carbon bolts with some blades (dont know the make) but i'd like to try something heavier for more impact. Do you think is a good idea to shoot these RazorCaps blades with a 2219 aluminium crossbolt (405grai...

Hi

I've read the question on how to clean/dry a riffle and have all these questions to you.

Is there any problem to use a excalibur xbow with heavy rain? Should i be concerned about something? Whats the best way to dry it in the end?
Will the string still works fine the next time?

Thanks

Hi

Is it possible to receive in Portugal the magazine? without being member of ACF?

Thanks

I'm bought my first crossbow, a Phoenix, only 2 month ago and here in Portugal there arent many xbow hunters. there is no site, or forum or even magazine were we can read anything about xbow and xbow hunting. This forum helped me making my choice with the Phoenix , helped me with any doubt i had up ...

Thank you Bob. I'm portuguese and some words i couldnt translate. your explanation seemed complete.
I'll try to find something that looks like it.

TY again

Hi Bob, ty for your answer.

tell me, those stringer blocks is something i can do?
To change my string i have anoder string with 2 loops but i'm afraid they slip from the "limbs"(?).

Paulo

I did it! Its not very hard to do (with the cocking rope) and i think the risk is not very high as long as we are extremely carefull. I wanted to learn how to manually uncock because not only at the end of the night hunting but when changing the string. there is no other way to change the string wit...

Ok, you convinced me! Tonight i'll try to uncock it with the help of the cocking rope. If tomorrow i dont write anything... something went wrong!

Paulo

Hi guys I know this is quite old but been searching for uncocking and gone through this thread. I've never changed a string in my phoenix but have to do it now! tried to imagine a way to do this with minimum effort and no injuries but i'm getting a little bit scared. The uncocking rope seemed so eas...

thanks! great answers i got here!

I hunt at night, waiting for pigs but also during the day i walk a lot and as you know, carrying the xbow is not very pleasant... i wonder how it would be with the extra weight of the scope!
after one hour i cant almost feel my arms!

Paulo

thank u all for your replyes.

I hunt in Portugal, mostly rabbits and Javalis (!? wild pigs)

I think the lumi zone will be my choice!
