Excalibur’s Micro crossbow line now features the new Assassin 400 TD. The “TD” in the name stands for takedown, and the Quick-Loc Technology system allows the limb assembly to be removed from the stock and then reattach with the push of a button.

Accuracy is maintained, yet the bow can be packed for transport or protection. New High Output Express Limbs send arrows off the rail at up to 400 fps. A Pro-Short frictionless, two-stage trigger and TACT-100 illuminated scope help with accuracy and consistency.

Features include:
• Tact-100 illuminated scope with 30mm rings
• Pro-Shot trigger
• Anti-Dry Fire System
• R.E.D. suppressors
• Sound deadening system
• 4 arrow quiver
• 4 Pro-Flight 16.5ʺ premium arrows
• 4 100-grain field points
• Integrated charger with Fail-Safe strap
• Explore case

The Assassin 400 TD measures 20.5 inches wide when cocked and weighs 7.9 lbs. It has an MSRP of $1,799.99. For more information, visit excaliburcrossbow.com.
