Looking at this xbow. Any idea on age?? It appears to have mag tips.
I come by my name honestly.

What model is it? If it is an Exocet and has a milled riser then it is most likely a 175 if it is not milled then it is a 165.

This is a picture of my Exocet 175. I love mine and it has taken 3 for me so far this season. I use the factory sights and it is right on the money.
Here is a shot of my riser. If it has this kind of riser it is a 175

Can't help with age, but get a new string on that one before you shoot it.

Given the mag tips and cast riser it is likely an 01 or 02 Exocet 175. I have the identical bow.

i'd say that sounds about right. i think if it was newer then 02 it would also have db bars along with the machined riser
If guns cause crime, all of mine are defective

I just noticed that. Mine has both a cast riser and db bars. I think mine was an 02 Exocet Deluxe.

Its the cast riser, which is strange because of the mag tip limbs. Mag tip came with machined riser 's in 2001 on E'cet i think. Value yes its does have some as a hunting set-up worth at least $ 300 & maybe $350-$375. Just because its an older model doesn't mean its any less quailty of being Excal

I just picked the entire package up for 350. It's in excellent shape. Tuned the string up and just shot it out back. I am VERY suprised at the accuracy of the Excal peep sight. I didn't realize there were actual 3 "crosshairs" on it. 15,25 and 40 yards, all in the size of a toonie.
This is gonna take over from the Exomax as my whitetail xbow..

My '97 Exocet has mag tip limbs on it now. The original limbs (one) was whiskering pretty bad and I replaced them with mag tips. Maybe this bow has had new limbs. ?? Something to confuse future collectors.
