I hunt with the excalibur exocet crossbow. And there has been many times that I get a second shot off - all be it with a lot of motion and luck, while hunting whitetails in Pennsylvania.. 2nd shots happen MORE than suggested here. This bow will be greatly accepted with respect to practicality...
There has been plenty of times I've been in the treestand and could have shot a coyote. But didn't want the hassle of climbing down just to recock my exomax. now with the new design I could shot a coyote or bobcat .and save the 2nd shot for a deer
One use is as a quiet survival tool to harvest small and large game loaded with a broadhead on one bolt and a judo point on the other. You would have a good option for anything you came across from squirrels to musk ox.
I shoot an Excalibur Equinox. Opening Day 2020 I shot a deer, cocked my bow and a second deer walked out 5 minutes later and I shot it(Yes I had 2 tags). I could have used a bow like this but for the money I am not sure it would be worth it for one of those once in a lifetime situations. I like the bow though.
Shot a buck back along, lung, liver , gut ! Ran 20 yards, stopped ,hunched up , Oh shot, what happened😠 woulda been nice 2nd shot, instead of 5 hour( track) job next day 300 yards on top of hill😤! Glad I can Track em👍
we have advanced so much in the technology and engineering department that we could build even a 4 barrel crossbow if we wanted to, so really this argument is just wrong
I don't crossbow hunt, but I do have kids, and with them using longbows (not compounds), there is a real chance that they will wound if their shot hits a shoulder bone, and having two legal shots as a backup, in the stand, has some appeal. I don't need another thing, I am trying to cut back, so it won't be happening. But I can see a use for it.
Cool toy. Not sure I'd benefit from it though. Unless I'm gang hunting deer and you get a chance of a double header . Would be cheaper to just use 2 crossbows at 400 fps though. Good review. Thanks
Practical hunting situations would be if you happen to spine or wound an animal and you ned a quick second shot. If you shoot a deer and there is a second der there and you want to shoot it too. There are plenty of "practical" hunting situations where a fast second shot might be good to have
Hey man great review. I’m deciding to step into crossbow target shooting (hunting is not allowed here) and obviously I’m a total newbie. I’m torn between Excalibur Assasin400td and Twinstrike TAC2. What would you suggest among those two. With regards from Slovenia
@@chadbarham2916 Well I expressed my self a little bit false… Hunting with a bow or crossbow is not allowed, hunting with rifle is allowed but you have to be a licensed hunter and a member of a so called “hunting family“.
Excal is claiming 385# combined and you are saying 285# for each limb set. Have you scaled this bow? 285# makes more sense to me, considering the arrow used and speed claimed.
Hi, I want purchase a new Crossbow and I'm in doubt. I don't use for hunting but I use for long range shooting 100 meters, and I want to ask a little help to decide to but Ravin R10 o the new Excalubur Twinstrike. I've already had an R10, and also the Excalubur Assasin, and I know their potential well, but I'm fascinated by twinstrike and its 2 arrows, and I wonder if I can expect a 100m high accuracy, give me some advice on which to take???? Thank you all :-)
The Twinstrike is certainly accurate like all Excalibur bows. But it’s not as fast as the other models you mentioned. For 100m target shooting I would stay with what you have been using.
Great Review! I missed the release Excalibur did at noon today. Other than being a novelty item maybe like you said hog or bear hunting but for Whitetail ... No Thanks!!!
As a compound bow shooter, can someone explain to me why folks shoot Crossbow? Minus physical disabilities. Why not just use a gun? Is it just to take advantage of bow season?
Crossbows/compound/recurve do not use a chemical propelled projectile. A rifle has a much further reach. There is an argument about the noisy rifle makes can disturb/stress animals, as well as be a hazard to the hunters hearing. Some places will not allow you to hunt with any kind of bow (prevent animals suffering 🙄). The hunting laws in the states are inconsistent from state to state, but I suppose it make sense if you live there, so being able to hunt more is better as well, just have to have to train with more equipment.
cough...cough.... Chinese repeating Crossbows in 400 BCE, so not really the world's first unless only 2 bolts is the world first you want to claim. cough...cough... Ladyhawke featured a working double crossbow. Crossman sold one in the late 80s... Functional double crossbows have been sold for decades, nothing revolutionary here.
Yeah man it is a total game changer and innovation in the crossbow world. It would be cool if excalibur made one that can fire three arrows in a row lmao
It's only going to promote even more irresponsible shots being taken by over zealous people knowing they can take that chance because they have a second shot now. Crossbow hunters are already trying to stretch out distances to 50, 60, 70 yards and beyond. It's supposed to be bow hunting. Learn how to hunt and get close.
I had the same thoughts. Happy to see a life signal from you Jeff since you did not upload videos on your channel for a long time. Hope you and your family are fine. Wish you the best.
@@bonehead9027 I mostly hunt with a crossbow for big game. But if I was using a shotgun or a rifle it would be the same. I take my time and make the first shot count.
So please tell me, when is enough going to be enough? When you can shoot 100 yards with a crossbow? How about 200 yards? Is that going to be enough? Why not just lump the archery season in with the rifle season? Here's an idea, learn how to hunt and get close. Since when was bowhunting ever suppose to be easy?
Wait a minute! My crossbow shots are 25 yards and under. I do not advocate shots 30 yards and beyond. I shoot a cut on contact broadhead heavy front of centre 550 grain bolt. I make the first shot count, i wait for the animal to be broadside before making the shot.
That’s so stupid , one will shoot high and other bolt will shoot low neither will hit in same spot other one does , I don’t even consider this crossbow archery , it’s like using a semi auto rifle during muzzle loader season , and having to load the bolt from the front isn’t a safe idea either loading it having to hold tip of broadhead to push bolt in , what if the string comes out of cocking position and slings the bolt out when loading , its stupid in so many ways 🤦
What a foolish design. What in the world made them do this?????? Ridiculous. Thanks for posting. I own the Matrix 380 and am looking in getting the suppressor 400 TD.
$2222.22. 4 2shots. I own a harpoon Hatsan 600 FPS. $810. 11 shots in 1 tank. Hahaahahahahhabits cool yes. 2 shots 360 FPS. Poor good for squirrel 🐿 yes
You do realize, you released this information before Excalibur did. lol.. Thanks!
Actually at 12 noon today, eastern standard time excalibur had a preview in facebook
The decibel meter is a cool & helpful bit of information for consumers... two thumbs up
Thanks for the input 😁

Got to hold one at my local shop yesterday, it is a beautiful bow but way out of my price range. I will stick with my Matrix G340 for now.
I only wish it can shoot 3 Arrows
Lol
Wait another year or two and they might be able to come up with something like that
I appreciate the genuine review!

Will this be Legal to Hunt with

I'm sure some guys will have to own one! Not really that heavy for what it is. I did miss a buck this season that just stood there afterwards.
I just got one, and man let me tell ya, it is everything I was hoping for and more

Right, and that’s not an everyday occurrence either! That’s awesome though and congrats! Thanks for watching!
Another game changer just like the EK Cobra Adder!

Plus that 2nd shot would have been a lot more humane for the deer
@@mm2093 a lot less cleaning guts from meat😏
@@kenmacdonald4207 Dry your eyes Ken.
Great review as always, definitely an odd addition, no my thing but definitely unique
Definitely unique! Thank for watching!
Hmmm, hope the limbs hold up! Tone of tuning especially if strings stretch in different ways. Can you fire both triggers at the same time!!
Yes both triggers can be pulled at the same time but it is difficult to do and not something we would recommend.
It would be nice for you to show the item close up once.
Seen it before. 1000 years ago during the 100 year wars time era. There is a reason why we haven't seen it since ;)
we have advanced so much in the technology and engineering department that we could build even a 4 barrel crossbow if we wanted to, so really this argument is just wrong
Can you shoot both arrows at the same time?
You can but as we said in the video we would not recommend it.
@@MikesArchery thanks this is what we all wanted to know😊
Quick question Sir... It says it has a 358 lb draw weight... is that a combined draw wt or separately?
Seperatly..... what question look there pther bows
I want one bad OMG

At home, Self Defense.
Any chance of shipment to Australia?
Sure, we ship to Australia regularly! Should be no problem!
What I want to know is how is the accuracy because one arrow is lower than the other with the scope out to 40 yards
+Dave Underdog point of impact is only 1” different. So you set the top rail as on and the bottom rail will hit 1” lower.
@@MikesArchery well that’s good I was wondering which one you sight in on to carry the other. Thanks.
Very nice
Cool toy. Not sure I'd benefit from it though. Unless I'm gang hunting deer and you get a chance of a double header . Would be cheaper to just use 2 crossbows at 400 fps though.
Good review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Must Have
How do you sight the crossbow in, with two different points of impact ?
Sight it in for the top rail then the bottom will be 1 inch lower
@@MikesArchery ok, thank you !
do they have lighted nocks for the bolts
I seriously doubt it right now.
Could have used it this yr had one down been nice to have second shot would have prob got the deer
can this be cocked without the crank or is it too heavy?
No the crank is needed to cock it.
@@MikesArchery thanks!

I agree on a backup shot on a spine shot animal. Thanks for the input!
Is it fully semiautomatic????
I do believe most States require 18" arrows hunt?
New York is the only state I am aware of with a bolt length requirement. Ohio certainly does not have any such law.
Hey man great review.

I’m torn between Excalibur Assasin400td and Twinstrike TAC2.

How much can crossbow get Amount
Hmmm I feel like someone said this about a gun in the early days, like adding another barrel to a shotgun, hmmm....
Great Review! I missed the release Excalibur did at noon today. Other than being a novelty item maybe like you said hog or bear hunting but for Whitetail ... No Thanks!!!
Agreed! Thanks for watching
If they got it a lil more powerful is by it hands down
As a compound bow shooter, can someone explain to me why folks shoot Crossbow? Minus physical disabilities. Why not just use a gun? Is it just to take advantage of bow season?
yea why not? plus it's quiet and fun:)
why cant people have different interests? do you ask recurve and traditional bow guys why they dont shoot compound?

I’m not gonna use this as a hunting bow. Imma use this as my plinking bow
It's the bow from lady hawk!
Would this be useful in a life or death situation against a Grizzly Bear? 2 shots and bear mace.
Bearly lol you would want alittle bit more power for that they have bows in the 400 FPS range now
@@davidhinricksen9873 I mean if your shots connect twice and your at a good distance the bear running at you will fall out from exerting energy
When you go bear hunting you would Carry a pistol in case a dangerous animal charged you.
A crossbow would drop em if you hit a vital 🫀🫁
Most important question: point of impact of the separate “barrels”?
1” different
its a daggum semi-automatic crossbow.
As far as practicality i think if your hunting dangerous game IE things with claws and teeth! Having an extra bolt at the ready is not a bad idea.
Yeah man if a black bear charges at you it would be better to have an extra bolt just in case
A very narrow market for this bow. Soon they will be able to shoot a bullet. Not the money maker Excalibur Is expecting.
Agreed, this is a very niche product! Thanks for the watch!

Crossman sold one in the late 80s...
Functional double crossbows have been sold for decades, nothing revolutionary here.
So what's the purpose of this? How many follow-up shots do you need with a crossbow? Doubt this is going to be a game changer?
Like we state in the video, the practicality is hard for us to see here. Thanks for watching!
Bow? Crossbows are destroying archery season forevermore!
Legal in ohio? Pa?
From what we understand yes it is legal in both states. Be sure and confirm that if you are planning on a purchase.
Osom crosbo ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Who wants that double barrels lol ?
2 zombies I guess.
I feel like this would be the best for hog hunting and predator hunting if it's powerfull enough I could see it doing well in the African bush as well
Yeah man it is a total game changer and innovation in the crossbow world. It would be cool if excalibur made one that can fire three arrows in a row lmao
Kinda cool, but I'd still rather a Matthews 27" V3.

No way!!!! We had no idea! Thanks for clarifying that for us!
And you are actually wrong, modern crossbows shoot arrows not bolts.
Yea if you use this, you’re a straight up chump. Scrubs
Why?
If that's a double barrel, then a regular crossbow is a single barrel. Get out of archery seasons. Thank
