Can we tour the plant?

Post by Reinyrooster »

Kinda new to this crossbow thing but coming from the same city as where Excalibur was born, I always liked their success story.
Just wondering if it's possible to get a tour of the facility? As an owner of their product, I would love to see how/where they're made.

If my memory serves me correctly, don't count on it, there was a tour organized for the Boofest folks a couple years back. It's quite possible that another could be arranged under the right circumstances. :)

Been through a few times, it wasn't terribly exciting. Neat to see where it all happens though! Only rule was no photos in the limb building room.

I enjoyed the tour greatly. Seeing all the old bows throughout the years of Excalibur. Seeing the plant and the test equipment and all the other great aspects of them making the bows. It is a site to see, you will be very glad you did. If it can be arranged, go for it. CHEERS!

This is a good question. To date we have never really offered plant tours. The reason is simply that we have not developed a procedure to offer tours or have the resources assigned to the time it takes to provide a worthwhile experience.

I personally would like us to do this in the future but if we're going to offer tours we need to do it right. We are normally so busy in here that we have nobody available to take people through the plant. We need personal assigned to the task and right now we just don't have the resources.

We will continue to look at the idea for the future but right now we can't offer it.
