Excalibur Crossbow Forum

The big issue is that I am a bit uncertain about what I want exactly? It would be nice to be able to "kick the tires" some before purchasing one. I was hoping to compare the Bulldog 330 to the Mag 340 side-by-side. They weren't that different in price, & I doubt the two shoot all that ...

I sort of like fixed blades. I shot Muzzy broadheads for decades, but switch to Slick Trick Viper Tricks with brass inserts for my compound bow a few years ago. The Viper Tricks fly extremely well for my compound bow. I was thinking of trying the 150 grain Slick Trick XBow broadheads. If the factory...

If you don't mind me asking, how many grains are the inserts for the factory 16.5" quills?

It is funny watching someone fold up a doghouse blind. I know my dad & brother struggle with them. My dad will put just put it in his shed unfolded. He watches me fold it up & just scratches his head. I could teach him how to do it, but it's one thing I can do better than him. I need somethi...

I don't own a crossbow yet, but there's nothing wrong with replacing the string early rather than too late. You can always keep the old string for backup (accidentally cut the new one - things happen sometimes). I alway keep the previous set of cables/string for my compound bow for that very same re...

Congrats to your Dad! I am always thrilled when my Dad has success, but he's never been into archery. His success comes with Browning A-bolt .270 Win. My Dad is also 80 years old. My brother & I are just happy he still goes out with us! I appreciate your post, because I have been researching cro...

I may not be the best reference, because I am still in the processing of shopping for my first crossbow. I have noticed the Bulldog 330 @ 5.6 pounds is pretty close to the Mag 340 @ 5.5 pounds. An Exocet 200 was listed @ 6.4 pounds. I am just going by information found on line. I have zero experienc...

I am not that impressed by a crossbow that can shoot 500 fps. I'm impressed by the guy that takes a deer with a longbow, because that takes practice & skill. If a broadhead passes through the vitals @ 500 fps, is the deer more dead than a broadhead passing completely through at 250 fps? If someo...

Just for the record - I never stated a Twinstrike was legal or not legal in Wisconsin. If you have a tag, I don't think having two crossbows in a blind is illegal. If there is a rule against that, please share it in writing. A person could have two crossbows cocked, loaded, & ready to fire. I do...

I'm holding out for the Twinstrike TD in 2022!

If a person carried two loaded crossbows into a hunting blind, I don't think there's a rule against that in Wisconsin. I really don't see Wisconsin enforcing or dealing with this issue, but I've been wrong before. DNR is pretty unpredictable.

So what's new in 2022? A take down Twinstrike or a faster Twinstrike? Will the other models remain somewhat the same for the next few years? I am sort of new to the crossbow scene, but I've seen this type of marketing for decades. Mathews and their single cam bows had guys hooked on upgrading year a...

Some are referring to the Twinstrike as being a split limb bow. A split limb bow uses 4 limbs to shoot one arrow. The Twinstrike is still using 2 limbs/arrow. I would call it a double rails/double limbs/double triggers crossbow. I wouldn't think of it as being a split limb crossbow. I don't own a cr...

I am interested in buying my first crossbow in the next month or two. I've been waiting to see what's new for 2021 & allowing time for Excalibur dealers to get restocked. From what's been shared in this thread, I don't see myself being pulled from the Mag 340 & Bulldog 330 being at the top o...

I am drawn to the simplicity of Excalibur. Mechanical things eventually break. I am leaning towards the Mag 340 or Bulldog 330, but I need to get one in my hands first. I assume the Mag 340 will be offered in 2021, but I am not certain about the Bulldog 330? Maybe others have more insight on this? I...
