The Excalibur Hybrid X is a new benchmark in crossbow design, engineered for hunters who prioritize performance, reliability, and ease of use. It combines the time-tested simplicity of Excalibur’s recurve technology with modern innovations to deliver outstanding downrange energy and consistency in the field.
At just 29.6 inches long, this compact crossbow offers excellent maneuverability for hunting in blinds, tree stands, or tight terrain. Despite its size, the Hybrid X delivers incredible speed — up to 435 feet per second — giving hunters the power they need for a clean, ethical shot at a distance.
The Hybrid X features Excalibur’s Hybrid HO Recurve system, a unique design that offers the narrow profile of a more modern crossbow without the complexities of traditional compound crossbow setups. The limbs are constructed with 100% continuous fiber, providing exceptional energy storage and durability, while the reverse-draw configuration boosts power and improves balance.
One of the most practical innovations is Excalibur’s InnerDrive™ cam system paired with a fixed-position cam. This configuration replaces the more fragile and maintenance-heavy cams seen on many modern crossbows. Instead, it relies on a simplified, synchronized setup that significantly reduces timing issues and the risk of mechanical failure.
The Hybrid X was also built with serviceability in mind. Hunters no longer need to rely on a bow press or visit a pro shop. With Excalibur’s press-free design, users can perform maintenance and tuning in the field, whenever and wherever it’s needed. This is ideal for backcountry hunts or anytime reliability is critical.
Drawing the crossbow is effortless with the included ChargerX™ integrated crank. Built into the stock, the crank system offers a 14-pound draw effort, making it accessible to a wide range of users and helping ensure consistency and safety with every shot.
Included Accessories
Each Excalibur Hybrid X comes equipped with everything you need to shoot right out of the box. The Overwatch™ illuminated scope enhances visibility and accuracy in varying lighting conditions. Secure 30mm rings keep your scope in place through rough terrain and repeated shots. The included Rebolt™ quiver offers secure arrow storage, while four ProFlight™ 18-inch arrows and 100-grain field points round out a premium package designed for immediate use and long-term reliability.
