Excalibur
2008 is a special year for Excalibur
in fact is the 25th anniversary of its foundation.
In order to celebrate this important anniversary
Bill Troubridge created something special : the
Relayer Y25.
Those of you old enough may recall
that the Relayer was the very first crossbow built
by Excalibur. Now it is back.
The Relayer Y25 has all the features
of the top of the line Exocet but, instead of a
composite stock it features a marvelous laminate
stock. I had
a chanche to handle this limited edition crossbow
(production will be limited to 1000 so you better
order your quickly...) for a few minutes, it really
AWESOME, the finish is simply beautiful and the
checkered grip fantastic. you have to handle one to
believe. It is not just that, the ergonomics are WAY
better than the Exocet: the stock feels a bit longer
and it has a rubber non slip buttplate , I felt it
just perfect for me. The grip is also way better as
it grows larger toward the bottom , gives a great
sensation of control. The fine checkering on palmgrip
gives also a nice sensation on bare hands, not to
mention the feeling of the wood.
Absolutely awesome, I love this one.
Too bad it is a limited edition
everyone will want one....
The sample on display was # 0001 and
is the personal crossbow of Katrine Troubridge. |
