Would you like more accuracy from your Excalibur?

My arrows already penetrate well enough(pass throughs). The accuracy is already there. I can pull my arrows out of my target with my bare hands and not have to worry about slicing them on the fletchings. And I couldn't hunt with them in Ontario anyways so I have no use for them

And here I never even thought of that!...

Very good point!...

Rules always change. The reason they make rulings on arrow length is simple. Until this, if an arrow was too short, you could not get the string back far enough to propel an arrow with enough energy to humanely take an amimal.

Looking at that last photo, I was wondering .... How do you load the bolt? Does not look like you can top load it ? Just curious... Very nice job you did on the design though,, your work looks very good

Sliver:

You load it down the front grabbing the arrow from the tip so your fingers are well away from the blades.

I agree, the work you did on the crossbow is very clean, well done, and neat looking.

Neat part is that it's cheaper to shoot than a muzzle loader and it don't go bang.

I agree with the "bang" thing.... Not really into shooting the shotgun since I started to hunt with the bow... I'll still be out there during the shotgun hunt though

I also have a model that shoots shot. Not arrows. I've been trap shooting with it. Works like a champ. Lot tougher than a shotgun.

what do u mean by tougher than a shotgun? i cant see how something like this could be better than a shotgun for shootin clay pigeons?

I really like the design and concept. However, I would have trouble marking the accuracy of my shot without something like the yellow fletching I use now. I like to see where I hit as it gives me an idea of how fast I follow up on the blood trailing. Perhaps the blades, not the cutting edges, would need to be brightly colored for us old fellers.
