Could I buy directly from your factory as there is no agent in South Africa?
What must I do to become an agent locally?

Can I shoot these mechanical broadheads out of my Excalibur Exomax?

[Roamer]

Sorry for the slow reply guys, I've been on the road for a few weeks. We do not have a dealer in South Africa yet but we do have many dealers in the U.S. that would be happy to help you, we can't sell to you directly.

Regarding the Rage broadhead, some users are using that broadhead with some luck but we have not had a chance to try them ourselves.

Hi Peter
Could you please give me a few contacts as I have already tried Cabelas and they said they could not ship to South Africa because of some customs restrictions.

Great bows Peter. I'm afraid I've gotten a case of Excaliburitis. First a Equinox followed me home but proved to be to much bow for a geriatric (twice cut) back. "Downsized" to a Vortex, my main hunting bow. Couldn't be happier. Then came a Phoenix, which is pure joy to shoot. It was a case of love at first heft. Unfortunately, I purchased it before the Ibex came out (absolutely LOVE the thumbhole stock). I am afraid that when I get to handle that one it may just follow me home too. Both my Excals are topped with LumiZones and sighted to hit the same spot with their respective aimpoints out to 50 yards. That way I don't have to fudge-factor point of impact when using either.
BTW, the impetus for owning (multiple) crossbows is in the bible, wherein it states that "man cannot live by bread alone." Clearly, that means crossbows.....with which one can eat venison. It's right there! But I have to admit I just made the 'multiple' part up.

Well I recently decided to buy an Excalibur Equinox! I checked Cabelas $850.00 for the light stuff package. Then I checked on E-Bay found the same thing Buy It Now for $729.99 free shipping. So I called the company selling these (optics warehouse). I asked what the price is if I order two packages-$700.00 free shipping! So on 9-15-09 I ordered two packages. I was told they did not have any, but would be getting them. I called on Tuesday and was told I got the last two out of 16. I was also interested in some accessories, so on Wednesday I call back. I was told my credit card was declined? I told them no way, I gave them my card number again. The numbers they had were not even close? Mark told me to call Thursday morning and confirm if both crossbows were shipping out. When I called Mark was out for the day, but the lady there assured me that TWO packages were shipping out? I was also told that I would receive a tracking number via e-mail, never got it. This whole time there was confusion on their end as to whether I wanted one package or two? On Friday I received one package. Today 9-19-09 Saturday I called Mark the owner, or manager? I asked where my other one was, and was told they only shipped one out? They will ship the other one out Monday? Watch this company, nothing but a hassle. There is NO way I will buy any accessories from this place. I believe they never had two packages, and were stalling for time. I am going to try and e-mail :(Excalibur myself. My Excalibur experience is starting off very bad. Companies like this one portray a poor image for Excalibur. Sorry this is so long!

Sorry to hear about your problems, I have never heard of this dealer and we do not sell to them directly. Although this dealer is obviously not taking care of you properly we have little or no influence on how a dealer conducts their business. You would have had the same problem if you had ordered a 10 Point, Horton, Parker or Bowtech. There is always a reason why a dealer is cheaper than the competition. I would suggest to contact a dealer you trust and spend a little more. A good dealer will always look after thier customers since they want repeat business. If you have any questions please call me:

People go on the Internet and buy a crossbow from some "fly by night" outfit in order to save a few dollars and in the process get something less than they expected. Excalibur has a fantastic customer service record from their legitimate dealers.

How much different does an exomax shoot at 30 yards while hunting from an
elevated stand of 20 feet ? I was told it would shoot higher.

[Excalibur Marketing Dude]

PAHunter,

Shooting from a tree stand can alter your aiming point and how much it changes is determined by how high you are and how close to your stand the target is. It all comes down to the angle at which you are shooting at. If you are 20 ft. hight and the deer is 10 ft. from the bottom of your tree the arrow will shoot higher than normal due to the effect of gravity on the arrow, not to mention this would be a really tough shot. The only real way to know where the arrow will impact at a certain distance from your tree stand is to practice shooting from your stand. The steeper the angle, the lower you will need to aim.

I have an Exocet200 ,with a Gold tip LazerII bolt and Wasp 100gr.
This fall I lost a moose after shooting in the vital at less than 10 yards.It was a large moose.the bolt went only about 8" in the moose hitting only one lung sugestind a rib hit.Searched the moose for over 4.5 hours,through montains until I lost the tracks and heavy rain spoiled all tracks.
Here my question :Can I buy a exomax rail at a good price to update my Exocet cause I fear to shoot at a moose and repeat the same shot.
Exomax having a lot more kinetic Energy so the bolt would pass through .
Taureau noir

[Excalibur Marketing Dude]

Even our Vixen II model can shoot right through a moose but it all depends on shot placement. If you hit the shoulder, no arrow will go through that. If it only went in 8" it had to hit bone. The Exomax will only increase your energy by about 10 lbs from your current model and we have shot through an elephant with one of those! The other possible problem is that you did not have the arrow in full contact with the string.
