Excalibur/Cabelas crossbow only available in USA?

Post by motorcycle »

Anyone know why there is a new Excalibur model made for Cabelas in the USA and not Cabelas in Canada? Are not ALL the bows are still made in Ontario,Canada? :evil:

Cabelas has a recurve bow? I'll have to check that out.

They have a Stryker that is branded by Cabelas, but those are made by bowtech and not in ON.

They achieve 370fps by cutting down a matrix 380 rail. Why would someone buy this when they could get a true Excal with a camo rail/riser and 10fps faster for almost the same money? I also don't like the look of the black rail, grey riser, camo stock/limbs. It sure looks weird to see an Excalibur branded as something else but I guess it's a good way to get the product line in front of more people.

Gives the Excalibur dealers the advantage and one up on the big box stores. Ontario is loaded with Excalibur dealers and likely no need to put them in big box stores here. :D

The black rail is nice but the riser should be black as well. As it is, it does look a bit odd

Canuck Tire already selling them here in Ont, dats big box in my book. Great for Excalibur but not so good for smaller dealers.

Has anyone seen or held one of these? It looks like from the pics that the rail is black. Is it black aluminum or black plastic/graphite/ or nylon type of material?

The first picture on Cabela's site shows what appears to be a cheek piece set up for a left handed shooter on the bow.
