Excalibur is a top end crossbow...there is no doubt about it. There is also a guy in Canada doing some amazing things with a stock, out of the box, Parker Spartan.

In the end it's the service you get from your dealer and the manufacturer that matters the most. Ten Point, Excalibur and Parker all have excellent customer service.

Excalibur is more for the user that wants a recurve crossbow.Like myself and my son.There is something for everyone out there.Buying something quality is the main thing.If it's cheap there is a reason why.

yeah i know that route "you get what you pay for"

[Hiamovi]

You don't need a shop to service it as well.I hate paying for stuff I should be able to do myself.

Picked up a vortex on Friday and shot it over the weekend. The scope is properly mounted, using the cranking device to ensure every draw is the same, shooting from a bench and rock solid rest. All that being said, we are yet to drive two arrows on top/touching each other past 20 yds. At 40yds, the group spreads out to about 6 inches and at 50, 1 will be 5 inches left, another 5 inches right. This coming from aiming at a 2 inch blaze orange circle, dead steady. I'm baffled, I just don't see the amazing accuracy I was expecting. I'm capable of far better groups with my compound. Any suggestions?

 

[TATERDAVID]

Something aint right maybe bad scope. You should be busting nocks at 20 yds

 

[BowMaster5687]

I figured that. I've shot Parkers with more success at longer distances.

 

[bob1961]

if your shooting the firebolts that came with the package with the bolt cutter BH's that is your problem....what is your arrow componets naming everything from Broad Head to nock....i have there exocet which is there vortex without the thumbhole stock at 200 pounds....mine don't like light weight arrows that came with it....375gr arrows with there bolt cutter were all over the place....i went to a 550gr arrow with 125gr slick tricks with 2.5" groups out at 50 yds..........bob

My Equinox is a tackdriver and so simplistic.

Check all screws/bolts etc where things are put together. Had a similar instance after several shots and found some loose ones - bow to stock connection and trigger mechanism are often troublesome. Tightened them down with some loctite and now cannot shoot at the same target twice without them touching.

My suggestion, drop the crossbow and pick up your compound! Not highjacking your thread, just saying!!!!
