One thing that many people have always given Excalibur grief for is that they tended to be a little wider than other options on the market. The 380 Xtra, and the entire 2014 lineup changed that perception. All of the new crossbows feature Excalibur's patented CRT technology, which makes them more compact. The CRT technology coupled with the overall smaller profile of the crossbow makes for an extremely comfortable shooting experience.
The 380 Xtra was compact, and more balanced than anything that I had shot from them before. I used to think that the Equinox was the best bow that they had made, but after shooting this I have since changed my mind. Balance and the maneuverability are paramount to me when I am looking to get a crossbow for sale.
This Excalibur crossbow shouldered exceptionally well. I feel that this was due to the reduction in the overall size of the crossbow, and the fact that they made this model slightly lighter than previous other models. It was also much faster than I thought that it would be clocking in on my chronograph at 380 feet per second. If you are looking to purchase an Excalibur crossbow for sale then try out the Matrix 380.
