What Sets Excalibur Crossbows Apart

Excalibur describes its crossbows as built around recurve limb technology, with a design focused on simple, tough, and accurate hunting gear. Each model covered here carries a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. Review the warranty terms on Excalibur’s site for details.

Current models include CeaseFire anti-dry-fire technology. CeaseFire keeps the crossbow from firing unless an arrow is loaded, the safety is off, and the trigger is pulled. Excalibur lists R.E.D.S. suppressors on its Mag Max, REV X, REV X TD, and Suppressor CRT models to reduce shock, vibration, and noise.

Hybrid X: Compact Width and 435 FPS

The Hybrid X is Excalibur’s hybrid recurve compound platform. Excalibur says its custom cam design reduces the crossbow’s width and adds speed that recurve limbs alone cannot reach. It also uses an integrated ChargerX crank and InnerDrive cams.

Excalibur rates the Hybrid X at 435 FPS, 29.6 inches long, and 8.3 pounds bare. Draw effort with the crank is listed at 14 pounds. The package includes an Overwatch Illuminated Scope, a Rebolt quiver, field points, and six V-Flight Pro 18-inch arrows. Read our Excalibur Hybrid X guide for specifications, what is included, and matching accessories.

REV X and REV X TD: Integrated Crank Recurves

The REV X is a 400 FPS recurve crossbow that is 33 inches long and 7 pounds bare. Its ChargerX integrated crank lists 16 pounds of draw effort and lets you decock the crossbow without firing it. The package includes an Overwatch Illuminated Scope and a Rebolt quiver.

The REV X TD adds Quick-Loc takedown. Excalibur says a button pull disassembles the crossbow in seconds and that it keeps a consistent point of impact when reassembled. It ships with an Explore take-down case and weighs 7.5 pounds bare.

Mag Max and Micro Suppressor CRT: Compact Rope-Cocked Models

The Mag Max is a 350 FPS crossbow at 32 inches and 6 pounds bare. It uses a rope cocking aid, lists 175 pounds of draw effort, and comes with a Dead Zone scope and a four-arrow quiver.

The Micro Suppressor CRT is rated at 370 FPS and 31.7 inches, with 6.2 pounds bare and 180 pounds of draw effort. Excalibur lists its Sound Deadening System+, a full-length scope mount, and a Tact Hunter scope. Both models are cocked with a rope aid rather than an integrated crank. See the Excalibur Micro Suppressor CRT page for the full package.

Excalibur Arrows, Strings, and Accessories

Excalibur sells parts and accessories matched to its own crossbows. Our selection includes arrows and bolts such as V-Flight Pro, Quill, and ProFlight, plus Beacon V-Nock nocks, field points, and broadheads.

Arrow length depends on the crossbow. Excalibur packages the Hybrid X with 18-inch V-Flight Pro arrows and the REV X, REV X TD, Mag Max, and Suppressor CRT with 16.5-inch arrows. Confirm fit on the product page before you order.

Hybrid X owners can also find a replacement string, cable set, and stringing aid. Rope cocking aids, crossbow cases, and other archery accessories round out the lineup.

How to Choose an Excalibur Crossbow

Start with how you want to cock the crossbow. The Hybrid X, REV X, and REV X TD use an integrated crank. The Mag Max and Suppressor CRT use a rope aid and list higher draw effort.

Next, compare size and weight. The Mag Max and Suppressor CRT are lighter and shorter than the REV X models, while the Hybrid X is the shortest of the group. Finally, check your state’s crossbow hunting regulations before you buy.
