EXCALIBUR MATRIX G340

Excalibur is confident enough in its economically priced crossbows that it provides a limited lifetime warranty on them. The company has also stuck to its roots, making only recurve crossbows, which adds to its competitiveness. Starting at US$699.99, the Matrix G340 is lightweight and very maneuverable with a width of just 26.5 inches. It’s also easy to cock, with a 115-pound draw weight. Also, the weatherproof, fibre-reinforced mainframe offers good durability for bowhunters who tend to be hard on their equipment.
