Excalibur crossbow history and Mag Air SMU review

Test of Excalibur Mag Air SMU. Excalibur's rich and illustrious, now 40-year history dates back to the late 1970s in Canada, when competitive shooter Bill Troubridge raced Astro Daco crossbows. However, he was not satisfied with the trigger mechanism, so he decided to build his own trigger mechanism. He subsequently built his own crossbow, which continued to be fitted with Astro Daco shoulders. The crossbow was very nice and successful, so many of his friends asked him to make just such a crossbow for them. So in 1983, Bill and his wife Kath decided to build crossbows in their garage in Kitchener, Ontario, an hour west of Toronto. This humble beginning not only fulfilled their resolutions and dreams, but over four decades has led them much further than they could have imagined. It started a revolution that has resulted in some of the most famous, most accurate and finest reflex crossbows ever built.
