anti dry-fire system for excalibur crossbows.

[blackjack]

g'day, does anybody no if excalibur has given any thought to an anti dry-fire system for the trigger of excalibur crossbows. regards frank

The second you put the claim on a bow that it wont dry-fire you become liable if it does, I don't see it happening from Excalibur any time soon.
The basic function of an Excalibur is it's simplicity.
It is best just to put an arrow in it, that makes for a pretty good anti dry fire system.

I like the Excalibur Crossbows just the way they are.

don't load it.
But then what's the sense in having one.

me to raymond, very happy. it was just a thought though, however there are many changers to come in the long term future l believe we'll all have with excalibur crossbows, make no mistake of that. but l'm sure they'll be for the good of us all & the company in time...regards frank

My take on items like auto-safeties and anti-dry mechanisms is that they add to the cost of manufacturing and insurance as well as add reliability issues to a pretty well flawless machine.

Please Excalibur keep it the way it is now!!!!! i dont want to carry a target with me to Discharge my bow!!!!!! uncocking the bow Before the safety zone is one of the best features out there!!!! KISS theory!!!

I agree.

just get you a dacron string that helps in case of a commom mistake that almost all crossbow shooters make , but please do not change anything about the mechanics !!!!!!

I believe Bill T. has commented he feels it's not really necessary on Excaliburs in past discussions on the subject.
They are tough enough to withstand a dry-fire in most cases, and it would just be adding another mechanical device to fail or complicate things.

I like the keep it simple approach, and those few members who have damaged limbs with a dry-fire have had the limbs replaced under warranty, I believe.

Hope not, I'm well trained now...EVERY time>
1) Engage brain
2) Cock bow
3) Engage safety
4) Pick up bow, etc

I own an excalibur exocet and love it, and also own a older horton hunter and a ten point the later two have these devices on them and I have never seen them malfunction in any way. If you were to do a search on here just on dryfires you would find many many posts from members that it has happend to, now I am not saying excalibur should put these devices on their crossbows but I for one would not be against it

I agree...don't think they need it...but it is a selling point for some, and it wouldn't change anything for me the end user. Oh, except that I couldn't dry-fire that is
