Not to be rude or nothing but just so you know a crossbow can only be used during a rifle season or with a disability permit good luck in your quest

Make Model & Asking Price?
Accessories included?

Excalibur warranties their bows for the life of the bow.
Best warranty in the business.
Never had to use it, but nice to know that is there...

Oh, I see. Thought you already had one in mind...

That range will get you one of their older wide limbed bows.
They work (had one) but are bulky.
A little more should get you into the Matrix series range - more compact and easier to handle.

Best of Luck on your hunt!

I started out years ago with the Excalibur Phoenix. For whatever reason it was not that accurate. Approx 4 yrs ago I upgraded to the Matrix 380 and I am quite pleased with it. Note that with the 380 it is difficult to load without the hand winch. The Matrix is 6 inches narrower than my original making it easier to carry through the bush. If I could somehow justify the cost I would upgrade to the Excalibur with the built in loading device. I use the Muzzy 125 grain 4 blade on 18 inch bolts. So far it has accumulated 2 deer, 2 moose & one bull elk. It is a pain to carry through the bush with a full backpack so this year I upgraded to a good fanny pack with shoulder straps. It now carries much better. Best of luck!!!!!

I walked into Canadian Tire store back in August and they had a dozen different crossbows for sale.
They had a few different manufacturers crossbows but I was only interested in Excalibur.

At the time I was aware there were 'requirements' to get the crossbow hunting exemption, but I was pretty sure I would qualify.
So I ended up buying an Excalibur Bulldog 400.

Then I consulted the doctor, ended up getting an MRI and Xray on my shoulder, which showed old scar tissue and injury, so I legitimately qualified for the crossbow exemption (*whew).

Anyway my advice: consult the doctor FIRST haha, to get the medical exemption.

Second question: Why buy a used crossbow?
