Standard Excalibur Crossbow Stringing Aid

Standard Excalibur Crossbow Stringing Aid – Professional Field Maintenance Tool

Technical Specifications & Data

Proper Usage & Safety Advice

Using the Excalibur Stringer is simple and safe. Place the two end caps over the limb tips of your crossbow (over the existing string if one is present). Then, "cock" the stringer aid just like you would a normal string—preferably using your rope cocking aid. This will flex the limbs, relieving tension from the actual bowstring so you can easily remove or install it. Once the string is seated, slowly and controlledly "un-cock" the aid to transfer the tension back to the string. This is the safest way to handle the massive power of recurve limbs without professional shop equipment.

Care and Maintenance for Long-term Service

Your stringing aid is built for longevity. Keep it clean and dry when not in use. Always inspect the synthetic cord before every use for any signs of fraying, nicks, or wear. If you detect any damage, replace the cord immediately, as a failure under limb tension can result in injury or damage to the bow. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the synthetic fibers.

What to Avoid

• DualFire Technology: Never use this standard model on DualFire crossbows; they require a specifically reinforced version due to their unique design.
• Dry Firing: Never fire the crossbow with only the stringing aid attached. It is a maintenance tool, not a shooting accessory.
• Sharp Objects: Be careful when storing it in your pack alongside broadheads, as a small nick in the cord can compromise its entire strength.

The Recurve Advantage

Did you know that the ability to change a string in the field using a stringing aid is one of the main reasons hunters choose Excalibur? If a compound crossbow string fails in the wilderness, your hunt is over. With this simple tool and a spare string, you can be back in the stand in five minutes. This self-reliance is what makes the recurve platform truly "rugged and reliable."

Recommended Accessories

To be fully prepared, we recommend always carrying a spare string (specifically for your Micro or Matrix model). A tube of high-quality string wax is essential for string longevity, and a rope cocking aid will make using the stringer much easier and safer for your back.
