I don't think you would even read the bubble level stuff on the Excal forum. Put a bubble level on the riser, snap a limb? Never heard that one before. :shok:

Nonono...

It's not that, these guys need to make cool video to post on youtube and they stress their crossbows, that's what i think.

I think the bubble is only one of the visible modifications.

It is not my business, they can modify whatever they want and hit an apple from 2 miles, it is not my problem if they broke crossbows.

 

[crappie-tom]

management claims there is NO limb problem....
they are adamant about that...

Amazing the last 5 posts are about broken limbs and, could happen to more guys in these upcoming weeks.
Yikes I'd expect that from driving a truck over it. Not for trying to shoot a 300fps arrow. I don't stop in this forum often because I'm not a re-curve guy but, it's noticeable when you see the problem posts repeating all year. I'd say I've seen more than a few limb problems this entire year posted about to see they may have a problem. At some point guys may see "Don't worry about it they will fix it" as Why would I put my health at risk?
History lessons guys. Mechanical problem Items left unchanged will repeat. Not if but, when. Now there will be 10 guys saying mines fine and, tomorrow your this. Seen it happen time and time again.
Glad you weren't injured Nenokid. I hope you get back in the saddle with a product with better results.

... Crappie.tom,Thank you very much for your response and concern that is equal to my ...
Perhaps many years not yet realized that if it happened to me three times and my other two compatriots there is a real problem for all owners of Excalibur last generation, so I think we should be more careful and take these posts as a warning not to mock because the health of our Shooter is worth much more than arts changed for free.

I have a black one and really like it....will keep shooting it...though that is a little scary there for it to break clean, no splinter, no warning just snap in two. I've had a couple 380's develop splinters but never seen one break in half like this.

Just some backround this user has had 3 Excal's (335-380 & 405) all fail! He is a pretty unlucky guy!

 

[pinshooter]

LOL ok..sometimes its like that. I think I'm the only one thats had two failures on a 380. I like my little micro so it doesn't deter me from shooting it

 

[KingArthur]

I guess some people just have a dark cloud following them around.
I suspect the picture will be hinted at being Photoshop next . LOL

[Blacktail]

Something isn't right about that limb break! All fiberglas limbs i have seen splintered or slabbed left shards sticking out. This limb reminds me of something put into a vise & sheared off!

 

[AndyC]

Was thinking the same as Blacktail.

Laminated fiberglass damage, whether it be to fishing rods, skis, vertical bows and indeed crossbow limbs, never looks like this in my experience.

 

[Deerstalker]

Do I have this right in that there are 3 guys with 5 or 6 Excalibur Matrix limb or tip problems recently and all 3 are from Italy? What in hell is the common denominator here as there are thousands of these products in North America that do NOT have these problems? These 3 guys are all in the same club or organization or something like that. I really hope that someone will come up with the explanation for this! This does flat out NOT make any sense.

Yep! One guy has had his 335-380-405 all fail! Take a look at the Micro 335 limb break! I have never seen a "clean break" like that. They certiainly are expierencing some issues.....I have been watching for them to post on the Excal website and I have also been looking forward to hearing what Excal CS has said but I take it as NO NEWS is good news!

Maybe everyone in Excal's CS are just too over whelmed resolving warranty issues at the present time to take the time to make a comment on the matter.

On the Excal forum there are little to NO failures reported. I have only heard of one other person who had multiple failures of bows from a single company & he was proven to be lying just to further a vendetta. He is now banned on every crossbow forum know to man. But he does "sneak" back on from time to time to stir the pot! If I had an Excal failure I would go straight to the Company's CS and then to their forum. I would not whine about the issue in the open forum without doing anthing to resolve the issue. IF there is an issue do something constructive to get it resolved. If I invested in THREE crossbows of ANY manufacturer and ALL THREE failed I would be working towards a valid solution with the company in question and you can believe I would keep the open forum updated on the progress.

 

[KingArthur]

Actually I believe most with warranty issues do not post in public forums like this one Especally on a manufactures Forum such as Excals in fear of creating a situation that could effect the type of service they would recieve.
They instead deal directly with CS for resolution.
And furthrrmore in most cases don't really care to give others a heads up.
There are also those who do know all to well the consquence of posting about an issue they have on some forums . Which if they were to do so would most likely result in a concerted effort usually by self appointment Brand Ambassadors to discredit or dismiss the poster in every way possible, by any means possible.

Apperently you've never visited the Barnett forum. Or the Mission forum when they had trigger problems. The Bowtech forum when their limbs were blowing up. The Tenpoint forum when there was problems with some models safetys. Or the Middleton forums about limb issues! I disagree with you in the fact that many people who encounter problems with their bows seek out forums to see if their bow is unique to the problem or if there is a problem across the board! I do know of a Fanboy who took Bowtech owners to task during their limb problems claiming to have NEVER had an issue with his bow...only to find out his bow blewup just like many others he just would not be honest with fellow members! So there are all kinds out there! This fourm has been invaluable in sharing product issues and has served many members well with their problems be it self inflicted or weapon/manufacturer related. I personally would not own a bow I had to tiptoe around about if I personally incured an issue!

 

[Nenokid]

As already I said I do not care about money or pay it or not the new arts, only expose the problems on this forum to get answers from people using more Excalibur, and also warn owners of possible problems in the limbs and health shooters.
It would be useless to post on the site Excalibur where you do not know why there is not any problem on the limbs, does not it seem strange?
Tim 50 you can think of me what you want and continue to have no respect for me, but the fact remains broken, so try in the future to meet more who is selfless and answers intelligenti. Remember that they are neither stupid child. ...

 

[derfff]

think maybe with all the excals that you have broke pretty sure your warranty is running out . should send up red flags that you are doing something drastically wrong to your excals when you shoot them.

 

[Tim50]

Neno....to be perfectly clear at no time have I call you any names. What I have put out there is constructive suggestions. When any member owns ANY brand bow and every single one he owns fails it raises some red flags. If you check the Excal forums you will see some failures and had you reported ONE failure no questions would have been asked. BUT for EVERY Excal you have owned to fail at some point you have to look in the mirror at some point and ask the question is it possible it is something I am doing?

Warning fellow members of a possible limb issue is a gracious thing to do the problem is when EVERY Excal you owned failed your crediability is going to be called into question. Add to that you had a failed PSE and then a number of your countrymen chimed in with Excal failures as well, ALL is short order, questions will be raised. I don't know how many Excals have been sold in Italy recently but looking at the forums more bows have failed recently in Italy than the rest of the world. At least those posting in forums.

Please keep us updated on how Excal is handling your bow failures. Remember you can deal directly with Excal's Customer Service you do not have to go thru the local shop if you would like to handle it that way.
