What's next??

Post by Onetimeonly x--> »

Just looking down the bow choices now offered, looks to be a bow for everyone? What more could Excal do or offer? I think it's time for Peter to toss out another survey. Here's what I'd like to see.
1) A sound deadening skin "clear" that is applied to the stock after the camo process is complete.
2) Improved arrow retainer with dampener.
3) Larger foot stirrup.
4) Stringing aid with every bow.
5) Tag on bow string "if new" indicating importance of proper brace height.
6) ___________?
7) ___________?

I like some of your ideas. Maybe Excalibur could sell a add on package geared toward making them quiet for hunting.
Make number 6 a stirrup constructed of a rubber coated strong plastic.

I've always thought a build you're own would be cool. It would be nice to mix and match some of the different colours and optional parts to have a factory custom. The best part would be, it would be fairly easy for them to offer too.

How about an adjustment rail to change the power stroke by adding or subtracting inserts !

Micro 355 nightmare. :)

A fold away (fold under) stirrup. That way the stirrup can be folded away when you want to shoot turkey heads with stock arrows.

I like the rubber coated stirrup.

I would ask for a drop down telescoping Mono-pod that could be used while sitting in a stand, shooting from a stool in a blind, or a bi-pod for shooting from prone, sitting, or kneeling positions in the field.

This would be attached to a light weight tactical, accessory rail ( possibly made of a SMF type material ) mounted just forward stock where quiver bracket is now mounted.

A lighter 3 arrow quiver very similar to the Kiwi, mounted to a bracket which would locate it above and parallel to the rail ( I'd really to see Terry @ munch mounts get a contract to produce these using his great design ) :wink:

Foam filled rail would be a plus.

Camo rails offered for all moodels.

A skeletonized stock for all models similar to the Micro design.

There's my wish list :D

52 years hunting the Buck here in pa most important to our traditional bows was NO SOUND and small size in trees sitting..So most important to me in crossbows is small size and light as you can get and NO SOUND which crossbows have...Quiet bow is big plus for me but most I talk to locally want only this..SPEED AND BE ABLE TO SHOOT 100 YARDS..Most were never any good at archery hunting that say this also..But they are ones throwing 1,000 dollars on counter for stryker bows..

Full camo rail on the micros, not a fan of the black rail on the Micro 355.
