Exocet value?

Post by xxclaro »

Hello all. This is my first post here,though I have been lurking around for a bit. I have the older model Exocet, with the carved limb tips. I used it for years in Ontario, and it is a truly wonderful bow, with amazing accuracy. I moved to Alberta a few years ago, and unfortunatly, crossbows are not allowed during bow season. I must therefore regretfully sell the Exocet to help finance a compound. I have no idea as to what a reasonable price would be, as you don't find many for sale. The bow is fully equipped, with a crossbow scope, bolts(Eastons), broadheads and hip quiver. I left it in the care of a friend, who shot his first deer with it. I don't want to ask too much and rip someone off, just want to get some cash towards a new bow and hope someone enjoys this one as much as I did. The accuracy of these bows is truly phenomenal, and I quickly learned to pick different spots to shoot at if I wanted to keep any arrows. I bought this bow new, probably ten years ago now, and it never gave me a lick of trouble. Can't remember what brand the scope is, but it does have the multiple reticle crosshairs. Anyway, if anyone could give me a ballpark figure to work with, I'd be much obliged.

Hi there if you do get an estimated value on this bow please write me back as I know smeone who is very interested in buying a used Xbow. Are you right handed or Left because he has a new Compound Bow it is a Browning Summit 2 fully equipped it also has a hard case. Very nice set-up.

Unfortunatly, the bow is still in Ontario, so I can't get pics. I haven't seen it in two years, so I'm going to have it brought to my dads place and have him look it over to make sure all is well before I sell it. It was in excellent shape, and the guy I left it with is pretty responsible and only got to use it a couple of times since I left. Thanks for the quick replies. Oh yeah, I'm right handed, about 28 inch draw length.

I am interested in your xbow. Where in Ontario is it located. I would like to see it. And I will make a fair offer.

I used to own the same bow. It was 165lb. draw weight and came in the 4 colour house camo finish. My chronographed speeds with different arrows and 100 grain heads using the flemish twist string were:

2213 – 280 fps (384 grains)
2117 – 273 fps (423 grains)
Gold Tip Series 22 - 285 fps (355 grains)

Its performance should be about on par with the current Vixen.

With everything you are offering, I would figure you should get at least $350 for it.
