Excalibur Micro 335"s
Would like to know the difference in the Gen. 1 and the Gen. 2 in the Micro 335"s ? Also, which mod. has had the limb breakage problems ? Thanks, Hawkeyemd
Re: Excalibur Micro 335"s
Gen 1 has webbing in the riser holes. The rail is 15.75 inches.
Gen 2 has open holes. The rail is 16.25 inches.

Some will say the Gen 1 had a slightly higher risk of limb breakage due to the higher stress flex on the limbs. The Gen 1 was also known to be an over-achiever where the Gen 2 speed was as advertised.

Re: Excalibur Micro 335"s
I have a very early Gen 1. Love it. I did have a limb go on me after a few years. When that happened I called Danny and he had me send in the front end which he replaced, so it now has the newer riser. So it's a Gen 2 now. Just FYI that if you buy a Gen 1 and have a problem it will end up as a Gen 2.

Re: Excalibur Micro 335"s
Not true! I have the original Nightmare that had a limb crack. 1st gen riser. Dawn sent me out a new set of black limbs to replace them. They never even asked about the riser.nchunterkw wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 1:29 pmI have a very early Gen 1. Love it. I did have a limb go on me after a few years.

There was a time, probably around 2016 that a large number of gen1 risers were replaced by gen2 risers for warranty purposes. It's not uncommon at all to hear.

Re: Excalibur Micro 335"s
I worked it through Danny so maybe it was what he thought best...which is fine by me. My limb cracked when I was in Ontario in a tree stand on a bear hunt. I replaced the limb the next day (always carry a spare set) and shot a bear 2 days later. The beauty of a recurve crossbow right there. But when I got back Danny suggested the riser replacement. And my Gen 1 was one of the first...before the limb cooking issue started. So it lasted a good long while, but eventually went. I think replacing the riser is a good idea. Especially if you typically hunt all day and sit with that bow cocked for many many hours at a time day after day. Our sits were typically 7 - 8 hrs daily on that hunt. Whereas I sit maybe 2-3 max hunting deer at home.bigbowman wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 2:23 pmNot true! I have the original Nightmare that had a limb crack. 1st gen riser.
