Still going with mine, or maybe Vixenmaster's, he has two, or three deer down already!
Yep, my Equinox is very accurate. I sold it to buy the Matrix 355. I would call them equally accurate, but the limitations falls on the shooter.
imo, all excals are considered accurate.... but a bow is only as accurate as the arrow it shoots.
the lower the speed, the less the arrow is affected also.
so in my opinion(leaving optics out of this), a bow that shoots below 200fps, with straight, tuned aluminium arrows will yield the best results.
Thanks for all the posts, ya as I read I'm more convinced my question was a stupid one...maybe a better question would be accurate at great distance...but I won't ask for responses to that...I think one of the best answers was whichever one is most comfortable for me to shoot...etc
There ya go!
As with firearms, most of it comes down to the guy pulling the trigger. We can do some things to remove variables but, take a deep breath, relax and enjoy shooting.
That's my thing, hard to stress when your sending arrows down range

I believe all Excalibur models have the potential for great accuracy.
The lighter draw models seem to have a better feeling trigger pull for a "production model" (no tweaking), but every one I've owned was decent. Had an Exocet that was a bit rough on the trigger pull, but a good cleaning solved that problem.
My 9 yr. old son has been shooting my 380 .Can hit 1 1/2 dots at 50 yds. with stock arrows running 125 field points. He had never shot a crossbow before and he was hitting like this the first day we shot. This is off a bench with a Harris bipod. Largest group to date is 3" at 50 yards.(after sight in ) I do not shoot the same dot twice as I hate to replace vanes. The slower bows are just as good in the right hands and tend to be more forgiving.

I am willing to donate my time in return for the following to settle this question once and for all without bias.
I will gladly accept donations of each Excalibur model.
Along with the donation of 12 arrows from each of the best 4 manufacturers.
Once these donations arrive I will then do a proper controlled designed experiment to prove once and for all which Excalibur model is most worthy of King Arthur's Court when it comes to accuracy.

To many variables.....Shooter, trigger, bow setup including arrows, broadheads, scope etc. etc.
All models are capable of great accuracy. My Exomax and Matrix 380 are extremely accurate. Shooting from a benchrest both will honestly shoot broadhead tipped hunting arrows into the same hole in a Rinehart target at 50 yards and less, which is my personal limitation. That's when I do my part and dont pull the shot.
