So I finished building the crossbow I intend to take on a planned hog hunt next March. I took it out for the first time on a bear hunt yesterday (no bears we harmed) and wiped out on a slippery log and managed to already put 3 marks in the stock - character marks as I like to think.



Specs are as follows:

Riser and limbs: Excalibur Matrix 405
Draw weight: 290 lbs
Scope: Vortex Viper 2.5-10 by 44 illuminated
Stock: Thumbhole - Custom Walnut
Trigger: Triggertech 2 stage 2.5 lb
String: Boo Custom Flemish
Bolts: 507 grain Black Eagle Zombie Slayers
Speed: 346 fps (chronographed)
KE: +/- 135 ft-lbs

Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.

Did you build the stock your self?


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

A friend built it for me. I gave him some drawings and measurements and supplied the wood.

I have a Horton I have epoxied the stock on that works good, but I don't trust for the long term.
