Excalibur TwinStrike Crossbow

The new TwinStrike gives you two arrows locked and loaded for double the confidence. Double the opportunity and zero reasons to choose anything less.

The new TwinStrike is the first crossbow of its kind, giving you Excalibur signature durability—but now, an immediate follow-up shot the moment you need it. Don’t just enter the hunt. Ace the hunt. With a pair of shots.

BowTech Solution Bow

Speed Without the Kick

Bone-crushing speed with a silky-smooth draw is the answer to every bowhunter’s problem. We call it the Solution. A 346 FPS speed shouldn’t come with sacrificing comfort. Bowtech strategically engineered the DeadLock cam on the Solution to produce blazing down range speed coupled with an unheard of buttery-smooth draw. Built with a maneuverable 32” axle-to-axle and topped off with the precision accuracy of DeadLock, the answer is the Solution.

DeadLock Cams

Not only the quickest and simplest way to achieve perfect arrow flight, but the surest way to maintain it. Just move the cams left or right on the axles with a turn of a screw to position all the energy directly behind the arrow. Then lock it down for permanent, repeatable accuracy…all with a smooth-as-silk draw and outstanding speed.

DeadLock Pocket

DeadLock limb pockets lock every component in the entire bow structure as one for the most rigid, accuracy-producing platform possible.

DeadLock Cable Containment

The reduced torque translates to added forgiveness and dramatically enhanced shot-to-shot consistency.

Clutch Performance Grip

The most comfortable modular grips on the market are engineered to reduce torque while increasing comfort. Our low-profile Clutch grip comes standard. The Clutch Control grip is available for purchase separately. Both grips are available in 4 popular colors.

Orbit Dampener

Significantly reduces all felt vibration while offsetting the weight of additional accessories.

Specs:

  • AXLE-TO-AXLE: 32"
  • BRACE HEIGHT: 6"
  • IBO SPEED: 346 FPS
  • DRAW LENGTH: 25 - 30"
  • DRAW WEIGHT: 50, 60, 70 LBS
  • MASS WEIGHT: 4.3 LBS


BowTech Solution SS Bow

Out of one Solution another is born … the Solution SS … short for SUPER SMOOTH. With the silkiest draw ever, that can be shot for days on end and held tirelessly at full draw, the DeadLock Cam System achieves flawless accuracy that is locked in for good. Its modern riser optimizes efficiency; transferring more energy into the arrow while annihilating all sound and vibration. Step up to the ultimate shooting experience in super-smooth fashion.

Black Gold Pro FX Sight

Just like the Pro sight, the new Pro FX was designed to allow archers to fine-tune their setup quickly and accurately with micro-click adjustment. The head and windage of the Pro FX also has Black Gold’s proven micro-click adjustment but eliminates the dial-of-death for those that do not require the extra floating pin option. As with all sights in the Pro Series, it is constructed from a rugged 6061 aluminum design and comes with Black Gold’s unconditional guarantee!

Specs:

  • 2nd & 3rd Axis Adjustability
  • 2X or 4X lens adaptable (optional) – Makes target easier to see
  • Click-Micro individually adjustable pins
  • Available with the Pro X fixed base (pictured) or a 6” Wing Truss

Black Gold Pro Hunter HD Sight

With the new Pro Hunter HD, you get all the industry-leading features of the Ascent Verdict, but with the Pro Pin. The addition of the Pro Pin provides a narrower pin throat that ends in a round pinhead. This smaller throat allows for less target obstruction, as well as a more defined aiming point. Now you can finally see what you’re aiming at.

Specs:

  • Micro-adjust 1st and 3rd axes
  • 2nd axis adjustability
  • 2X or 4X lens adaptable (optional) – makes target easier to see
  • Indicator needle is indexable for easy re-sighting should your set up change
  • Available in Pro X Base (pictured) or the 4″ Wing Truss
  • Available with 3-pin or 5-pin head
