Laminate Vs Solid wood stock

[Bill Kemp]

Hey guys:

I was wondering if any of you out there have wooden stocks on your Excaliburs and if you have a solid wood one or a laminated one.

Have any of you had problems with either the laminated one or the solid wood ones.

Who makes the best after market wood stocks and how much.

Thanks

Newbie guy on the forum but own two excaliburs.

Welcome Bill, as far as I can see, there was only one custom Excalibur stock maker. His name is Mark Henegar. He produced both solid and laminated stocks. Unfortunatly nobody has been able to contact him in years. Check the first page of the trading post.

Searching his name will certainly bring up photos of his work. I never heard anything negative about his stocks.

A solid hard wood should work ok for crossbow use . A laminate would be pretty much impervious to anything .

Here is a link to one supplier of laminate stock blanks :

I know I like my Mark Henegar stock but have not had it long enough to really give it much of a test. I know it feels more solid and not hollow feeling while shooting and it has taken some of the vibration and noise out of it.
