What is the best ever made Excalibur-crossbow and why? (Your personal opinion.)

Post by Troubleshooter »

Of course, everyone will have their own personal preferences.

But it's fun to find out which type of crossbows are most populair and the reasons why a particular crossbow is the best.

Thanks for your input!

I’m keeping 2 shooters, a 400 Suppressor and a Micro 315. Keeping a few older bows but those two are the ones I consider the best and will give me the wides flexibility for hunting.

Edit, changed 500 to 400 Suppressor

Our Matrix 380 has a lot of power, easy to use and has been trouble free for over 1000 bolts easy. It's not the smallest or lightest but it makes up for a little more bulk in simplicity, reliability, accuracy and power.

There is no best single model ever for everyone. Too many different applications and needs across the spectrum.

But if I could only own one Excalibur, and I don't own it, it would be a Micro Suppressor 355 and remove the Air Brakes and keep an extra set or two of spare limbs around. And if not that one, it would be a Bulldog 360 or 380.

Thankfully we're not limited to owning one. I like the 2 primary hunting Excaliburs I have and cover a really broad spectrum of hunting and shooting applications with those 2.
