Assembly
Assembly of the Vixen is pretty straightforward:
just align the riser section onto the
stock section and bolt on the two Allen screw.
Just make sure to lubricate the two screws and
washers otherwise you will have a hard time when
you will need to un-assemble it.
Now just another couple of screws to affix the
front stirrup and we are almost done.
Now we just need to put the string in place and
head for the range...
Sting mounting may not be that easy, if you get
the Stringer tool from Excalibur you can easily
do that yourself, otherwise you may ask some
help from your local pro shop. Just make sure to
follow Excalibur’s instruction and set the brace
height (applying turns to string) with the
string lying between the two marks on the fore
end of the flight rail. The procedure is very
simple and illustrated in the DVD manual; just
make sure to take the time to see the complete
DVD as there are very important procedures and
safety instructions described.
The Vixen does not use the Dissipator Bar and
pads found in other models as the arrow speeds
generated by the Vixen are not so extreme, also
this crossbow focuses on being “budged
conscious” therefore this accessory is not
provided (it is available to buy separately if
you want/need).
As mentioned the paper manual (though still
included, in a reduced form) is replaced with an
instructional DVD where Bill Troubridge (owner
of Excalibur Crossbows) goes into great detail
explaining crossbow features, setup and usage.
Just make sure to watch all DVD section as it
contains important safety procedures.
