I like it, but won’t get one. My BD400 (with improved limbs but slowed some with the Flemish string) FINALLY actually obtains 400/350g arrow. My RevX is actually faster than spec and is 403/350g. So, I expect this small Excal will meet it’s speed claim (350g?).

My concerns. As soon as the Matrix series was introduced. I had a 380, 2 405s and a BD400. 3 of these broke limbs (years later the improved limbs and revised limb pockets helped). Then the Micros came 330 and 355. A large # of limb breakages. Then the HO limbs came, breakages seemed to decrease. I got a RevX, which of course, has HO limbs. Shooting 450g arrows, I had a catastrophic limb break after appx 50 shots.

My BD 400 with the newer limb pocket designed riser and improved limbs and Flemish strings, is, in my estimation, extremely reliable. I had expected my RevX to be, but every new Excalibur bow model I’ve had (Matrix -2, BD400 1, & RevX -1) has had broken limbs. SWATs and 2 VitalXs - none and lots more shots than the Excals.

So, I have concerns but hope it’s bulletproof, or as close as possible.

PS. If I had no crossbow but could choose any crossbows regardless of cost, I’d own 2 X1s (different optics) , a BD400 (mine - new riser, 1.5# TT, improved limbs, and my Boo Flemish string) ; and, if I added another, a Micro 380. So, there is no anti Excal bias on my part.

This bow has been through its paces for a while now. Possibly the best kept secret in years.
This is the most accurate Excalibur released to date. Completely field serviceable.
Unlocked at its widest point it's 18 5/8".

It gets more interesting.

Excal. Done went and dipped their toes in the wheelie bow world . What’s next pray tell Democrats and Republicans getting along?🫣

Which is how it should be.

I keep seeing cams mentioned. But, they aren’t actually cams, are they? If not, it’s still not a compound bow.

 

[SEW]

I should have noticed: the wheels/cams are eccentric which means they are designed that way for mechanical advantage.

What I was thinking. I guess not necessarily for “real” men; but, for real “old” men who are still hunting.
