Excalibur Crossbow Forum

so, i for whatever reason never made a old clothes burlap sack target for my bows. never had a need, commercial bag targets always worked well enough for me. Well, until i got the 405. it literally blows through targets rated to handle 400 fps "Bolts" (not getting into the bolt vs arrow di...

I LOVE the bolt cutters. i used them with my Vortex, and Gold Tip laser 2 with brass inserts... i know thats a little Overkill for FOC but i had NO problems with them, in fact they shot well out to 60 yards with no issues. I plan on shooting 150 grain tips out of this one, more or less to slow the F...

well folks, i have been away for a long while, and it was NOT in vain! The old faithful Vortex got sold, and i picked up a Matrix 405 Mega. I didn't really want or need the monsterous power, but my local sporting goods shop (small business) is owned by a Masonic Brother of mine, and he gave me a scr...

Thanks again aweshucks. i now have 12 beautiful GT laser 2 arrows with blazers and strong helical. i also refletched my firebolts and can't imagine shooting straight vanes again.

DOH shucks i didn't see this post until this afternoon. the jig, stripper, and ASD were forwarded priority mail this morning to the address you provided me, i apologize. Please let me know when it arrives.

ont_excal said it... S5 is a instant brace height checker!

well, i AZ EZ fletched all my firebolts, and they shoot GREAT!!!! even with muzzys!!! i couldn't get them to group at all, now they stack! that helical is REDICULOUS they shoot soo good. i love it. AWESHUCKS is the man... that is all i'm going to say...

THANK YOU AWESOMESHUCKS

Ideally... here is what i would like to do... UNDER 10 dollars for a complete hunting arrow... Broadhead, Shaft, fletching. how??? GT laser 2... about 5 bucks. fletching about a dollar... Muzzy standard 100 grain... about 4 bucks... should put me right at 10 bucks... any cheaper than that... i think...

i got my Montec Stainless Steel's very very scary sharp... Smiths Orange diamond sharpener... then moved down to the 600 grit G5 sharpener, then 1200 grit side... then stropped on the back of a business card (Cardstock). it shaved armhairs very easily... i would not hesitate to sling one at somethin...

oh i'd never drop the Bills on them... but i have a friend who's looking at actually buying them... i laughed but he swore up and down that his Bad ARSE Barnett Jackal Crossbow needed a 100 dollar set of heads to punch through these big thick skinned wild GA hawgs we got down here... i giggled and h...

i know my practice arrow has a good scuff going on it... its been shot hundreds of times.... shows no signs of being weakened. i hope it doesn't blow up in my face one day however. i do give it a flex every shot, just to make sure because i know its seen its fare number of 200 lb shots... love Easto...

has anyone ever shot them? worth the hype/90 bucks?

BAHHHH i don't know what to do! i sacrificed an arrow 2 days ago to take out a yote... head and shaft are toaste... he was in a creek bottom, quite a spark show when the boltcutter impacted the granite, the carbon shaft basically splintered... never found anything but a fletching and splinters. the ...

There should be no difference in FPS, since the bars and pads have no effect on the limbs/string until after the bow shot cycle is essentially completed. as far as leaving the bars on? i would. they may add a little bit of weight, but i imagine if it makes your bow 1% quieter, its worth it to me.

kind of just looking for some feedback on how people like the two arrows compared. I shoot the firebolts, and i own two OLDER GT laser II arrows. I notice they feel and handle identicle to the Firebolts and i understand they used to be sold as excaliburs arrows. the POI is slightly different so ther...
