Think I'll keep on squandering two bits a pop and glue mine in. Have no need to align fletch w/ blades in bheads. Quite awhile back I flung 5 into 1" C-T-C at 50, didn't sort the arrows neither, quit while I was ahead. Ah, the good old days................ :mrgreen: I am amazed what is possibl...

Specs: Weight: 19 grains Size: Fits standard carbon and aluminum arrow shafts (.244-.246 Inside Shaft Diameter) .244-.246 ID seems a bit skinny to me.........? Awshucks ...

Woodspike ... Way to Go! Keep at it your off to a great start. Welcome to the forum too. All the best - John

Slo-mo link: http://www.crossbow-review.com/TechCorner/CrossbowsNSB_p4.htm Thanks for the link awshucks - would be interesting to see same video with the S5 system in place instead of the Dissipator Bars and then one with both Dissipator Bars and S5 in place. Strangely addictive watchig that video.

Everyone thanks for the input and explanations. Now to go see what the local archery shop has in stock.

Awshucks,

Thank You for the explanation and picture ... beautiful bow.

I guess the dis you mention in your post are the dissipator bars?

My Ibex came with them and for me they can only help not hurt. Is there a link to the slo-mo video mentioned in your post?

Thanks.

92 grain Lock-N-Load brass insert with set screw - no glue needed.

125 grain field tip.

2" vane of your choosing with as much helical as possible.

Bare shaft of your choosing: Firebolt, Gold Tip 2 or 3 - all work well with the above setup for me.

All the best.

Gamikatsu, I just finished my arrow journey and for me the Firebolt shaft is similar to the Gold Tip 2 and 3 shafts. There is a slight difference, but, my indoor testing from rest and freehand out to forty yards nothing huge. Past forty and shooting outside might have changed my results, not sure - ...

Awshucks ... new to Excalibur, what is/are the Y-25? Thanks, John

At the archery shop to shoot some indoor target and noticed a $1,400 cam-crossbow on the service table with a ticked off owner. The lady hunter was trying to fix her built-in cocking rope assembly that had broke on her out in the field. I offered to help and while we talked for the next hour she sai...

Came home after testing some arrows and realized I have about 500 shots on my Ibex. Got out the six hex wrenches that cover everything on the outside: 5/64" 3/32" 1/8" 9/64" 5/32" 3/16" All snug till I got to the top hex bolts of the limb/dissipator brackets; both took ...
