Excalibur Crossbow was at the 2018 SHOT Show Media Day at the Range showing off its newest horizontal bows, and its new Assassin crossbow is the fastest shooting recurved-limb bow available.

 

With no cams or cables, there are no tuning issues. The bow is 21 inches when cocked, weighs in at 7.7 pounds, has a 285-pound draw weight and a built-in crank to cock the bow. The Assassin shoots and impressive 360 fps, transferring over 100 ft.-lbs of kinetic energy to your arrow and broadhead. With an adjustable stock, the bow is fast, simple and reliable, making this bow a ground-breaker on the recurve side of the industry. MSRP: $1,699.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued?
