Excalibur Rev X: Your next Crossbow? 🤔

[@tonydoe877]

Wouldn’t own anything but Excalibur ❤❤

[@tray22]

I like them but they are so expensive for the simplicity in their design. I have a barnett that I have owned for about 8 years. Haven't had a single issue with it and it will destroy bolts if I shoot more than once at the same spot inside 50 yards. I have always wanted an Excalibur though.

[@TrinityWild]

They do have plenty of lower priced models. But if you have one that’s working for you stick with it. Keep those strings fresh and new, lube that rail and SEND IT!

[@EiNgAbEf2]

@@tray22 it’s higher priced because most of the parts are manufactured in Canada/US only scopes,arrows etc are made in china. Yeah but everything is expensive asfk nowadays 😖

[@ТониКарамфилов]

Excalibur's best technology is (TD). I will buy it only if they make a Rev X (TD)

[@charlesbeaver5665]

They’re ALL take down. Either 1-2 bolts or the TD feature

[@sharpeye6760]

400TD is better still

[@robehrke6103]

Best Excalibur to ever come along. They have very much kept the company alive & into the future. They have plenty of models still for the simpletons of life that want that. As far a the take down\take apart front end..... great marketing for an easier consumer method to get the front end back for warranty work...........................🤫

[@TrinityWild]

I’m with you. I love this design.

[@EiNgAbEf2]

Really awesome crossbow. Alot of negative comments about the casefire mechanism, doesn’t make sense it’s awesome u can basically use any kind of nock. Only thing that concerns me is the extreme limb stretching, there's no limb breaking with the new technology (warranty cases)… excalibur says but let’s wait

[@TrinityWild]

I’ve had to replace a few limbs over the years but I’ve never had any kind of warranty trouble with Excalibur. Haven’t had a bit of trouble with the Ceasfire as of yet. But I agree, I like this crossbow.

[@randallflores-qr8cs]

Recurve limb simplicity......moving right along to the complex rear end of the crossbow, complex as a Chinese fire drill, then those proprietary bolt/nock combo. WTF Excalibur? A big fat "No Way In Hell"

[@TrinityWild]

That’s an interesting way to look at it. Simple in the front, complex in the back.

[@michaelcurtis8114]

Dang that thing is loud 🎉

[@TrinityWild]

All these crossbows are loud. But you kind of think the simplicity of the Excalibur would make it a lot quieter. Not so much.

[@EiNgAbEf2]

@@michaelcurtis8114 its not for a 350grain Arrow

[@michaelcurtis8114]

@@EiNgAbEf2 what does that have to do with my comment? I just said it's loud. Nothing about arrow weight.

[@EiNgAbEf2]

@@michaelcurtis8114 its a Minimum arrow weight all crossbows are louder with it Thats what i wanted to say

[@goldentrucker7921]

The Proprietary nocks are a little annoying. And the fact that you can't have the option to rope cock kinda stinks. After all that's the reason why Excalibur shines. Is the simplicity & less moving parts. At this point, they're know different from Ravin & Tenpoint now. They're just shooting much slower fps.

[@TrinityWild]

That Rev X being so narrow is the reason they have to design the crank that way. I love the way it operates but you are right, kind of defeats the purpose of the simple recurve crossbow.

[@gregfoster7158]

Do not buy the mag 340, the limb rail and the main rail does not match up, you OK at 15 yards or less. After that it sucks.

[@TrinityWild]

I’ll make sure not to carry that one then.

[@randallflores-qr8cs]

Your video was good. The crossbow....huge letdown!

[@TrinityWild]

Thank you for watching. What was disappointing about the crossbow?

[@gregfoster7158]

I will never buy Excalibur cross bow again. There is no recourse for faulty equipment.

[@MarthaTorres-gu7vd]

Iv got any of my 2 crossbows fixed with no problems . Broke limbs on the one now 2 times. What do you mean by no recourse?

[@TrinityWild]

I have found Excalibur very easy to deal with. Did they not take care of an issues for you?

[@goldentrucker7921]

What do you mean Greg? Let us know lol

[@gregfoster7158]

@goldentrucker7921 the 340 has either an engineering or manufacturing flaw in the rail system. The long main rale does not match up with the short limb rale. The bolt does not leave the bow perfectly strait. I went to bass pro and inspected other Excalibur bows and they were all strait and I line. I looked at another 340 and it had the same problem as my 340. The bow is flawed and Excalibur would not refund my money . I liked the other Excalibur bows but their not in my price range. Excalibur built a cheap bow, and that's what I got, A cheap bow.

[@charlesbeaver5665]

I have been shooting Excalibur (along with a few others) since 2007. They really screwed two things up in my opinion . 1) they went from the Guardian anti-dry fire to their supposed to be “improved” cease fire. 2) The Rhino nock for this “ improved” cease fire anti-dry fire system. They have always been a KISS (keep it simple stupid) company until they came out with this crap. Excluding the Rev X everyone of their crossbows with this “ improved” anti-dry fire system requires you to have a de cocking tool to attach to the string so you can decock the bows. REDICULOUS You forgot to mention 3 things: 1) with the Rhino nock when loading an arrow to shoot, you have to push it all the way back till you hear the click. This disengages the anti-dry fire system. 2) When de cocking the bow, you can let go of the handle at any time and it won’t freely backwind because of the clutch in the crank. 3) This crossbow does not have a string groove behind the scope rail to manually cock it by hand with a rope if the crank system should fail or need repaired.

[@randallflores-qr8cs]

I agree with you completely.....no one wants that complex garbage. I also wonder how expensive those proprietary bolts are. Mathews was pulling the same $hit with their proprietary metal half moon nocks a few years ago. With all the competition in the crossbow market these days, how do these scumbags think they are going to get away with screwing guys on overpriced, over complex garbage? There are many higher quality, user friendly crossbows for half the price.

[@TrinityWild]

Those are great catches. Thank you. I really meant to talk about being able to let it go while de-cocking it. As far as the manual cocking, I mentioned that to my rep. It hopefully will be something they will address going forward. Thanks so much for your feedback.
