The inevitable 2023 thread
So the ATA is a little over a month away. That means new bows and accessories are going to start leaking in the next couple weeks.
What's everyone hoping for?
JOE, you can't ask for a light weight, low draw, skeletonized bow this year! You got your wish last year

Re: The inevitable 2023 thread
I still want an adjustable LOP bullpup'd stock option, without having to get an Assassin model. But also not just another AR style adjustable stock. Adjustable HEIGHT cheek rest built into the stock is long overdue as well.
Then give us a mag-style riser on a rail long enough to shoot a 400 gr arrow 340 to 360 fps, with the HO Express limbs.
Bring back Kryptek Raid Camo option. Kryptek Obscura Skyfall would be a welcome addition as well, would look great on an Excalibur.

Turn the twinstrike into a single strike..
The twinstrike stock and limbs are as good as it gets..

Kryptek Raid camo for sure.
And yes, the stock design of the Twinstrike on a single limb bow at about 340-360 fps..I'd buy one today!
If it pulled all those triggers!!
And was it just me or did I miss something? What was wrong with the old Tact Zone scope with the 30mm tube. The newer scopes are "too busy" to use in low light. Too many lines to have to look at in a hurry sometimes in my opinion. Simpler is/was better. .
Just thinking out loud!!

Re: The inevitable 2023 thread
I know a few that would like to see an optic that will give you 4x or better magnification at ~300fps. Of all of the scopes I've seen, if it supports 300fps or slower it will be at the very bottom of the magnification scale. You've got to have some serious speed (>350) to get the magnification up to a more useful range.
If you put a quality string and some dampeners on a 340 series bow and shoot a heavier arrow, you can easily find yourself in the 300fps neighborhood. While that may be all the speed you need, today that limits you to lower magnification on the scopes I've seen.
When you're trying to count antler points or confirm if a deer is a doe or small buck, it sure would be nice to be able to do that through your scope. 2x doesn't help much. My rangefinder is 6x, but doesn't gather light like a scope. Something in the 6x range at hunting speed would be ideal to me. I'm not worried about field of view, because I'm not shooting moving targets.
Perhaps a reticle that starts as 4x or 6x at 300fps and goes up from there to whatever speed they desire. I know putting a fixed 18x on my Exomax highlighted just how accurate one can be at 40 yards. It's a lot easier to hit a roofing tack at 40 yards when you can see it.

Re: The inevitable 2023 thread
Triple strike?
Re: The inevitable 2023 thread
I would like them to include more picatinny rails to be able to add accessories.
I don't know about other excallibur models, but my Assassin 400TD only has two points to install the picatinny and the one that comes from the factory is already occupied by the quiver.
I had to buy a rail to install it myself and cut it to size.
At least another standard one on the other side for the flashlight...

Re: The inevitable 2023 thread
As said before our favorite company really doesn't have to compete with the "space bow scene" just possibly post articles on youtube TV. Magazine featuring real people who have had the same excalibur bow for 10,15 even 20 years..few people are shooting a 15 year old wheeled bow it just isn't happening.
Most "normal " outdoor people are just searching for a reliable product they can trust you don't see people re inventing the buck knife......never mind l like my outdoor edge...bad example lol.
But you know what I mean
Maby a story of how dad's excalibur was handed down to a son or new hunting person and it scored.
I just would like to see some newer variants as the previous posters have added.

Re: The inevitable 2023 thread
I want my crossbow to turn into a flying broom like my MIL has, that way I can still use my climber.
I think a Matrix 355 rebirth would be awesome with the improvements Excalibur has made since those were in production.

Re: The inevitable 2023 thread
Now you're talking. A Matrix with high output express limbs. They'd likely be stout so you could shorten the draw length and still hit the 350-355 range. Less string angle on the latches, therefore less string wear. Make it in full camo like the Matrix LE/SE and include the latest trigger/ADF. Make it in some of the alternate camo patterns previously mentioned. How about some Mossy Oak Bottomland?
Now that you mention it, I'd love to see a version with iron sights again like my Exomax came. Some plan to put a different brand of scope atop their Excalibur, so you may be able to lower the prices a bit if a version without a scope was an option. I doubt they'd sell a bare bow option (Bow w/string, nothing else). I've got plenty of stock accessories (arrows, scopes) collecting dust already. It's a shame to keep adding to the pile.
