My M405 is Good 2 Go~!

Post by Sandman »

Good day,

I've been saving my pennies for a few years and bought a 405 (the day of the recall) at Al's Corner Store in Arnprior ON. Al was a great help and he has quite a shop which is very deceiving from the outside.

I cant say enough about how Excal handled the recall. I live in the KW area so I dropped off the entire unassembled kit. I already knew that Excal's customer service is second to none and as expected it was a seamless experience and Dawn was great.

I received word that my bow was ready and like a high school kid on a Friday afternoon I cut work early to pick it up. When I arrived home I opened the box to find a few more items than I had sent in ... Nice touch Excal and very much appreciated although not necessary.

I relaxed and assembled it while I watched the NHL playoffs although the Bruins weren't playing there were some great games on ...

The M4 makes it #4 in my tool chest (ExoMax, Exocet, Camo Vixen) and I cant wait to take her for a test drive~!

Cheers,
Robin

Great looking mounts Sandman. I'm sure I sound like a broken record here but I am itching to draw a 405 however none of the dealers around here have a 405 in stock. I see you also have an Exomax, and I owned one as well..when you get a chance to draw that 405 could you report here or PM me how much more difficult the 405 is to draw then the Exomax? I had no problems pulling the Exomax so I would like to get a comparison if you wouldn't mind....Thanks, Fred

fred I had a max and now a 380 ..I don't feel the 380 is any harder to pull back in fact it may a little easier due to the short draw. everyone who has owned a 380 says the 405 is not much different.
If you had no problems with the max then youll have no worries with the 405.

Man that is a nice bow. Oh no I have to have one now but would have to sell the farm to afford one... LOL
