My crossbow is an Excalibur Matrix Bulldog 400, which I bought at Cdn Tire.

Supposed to do 400fps with the 18" supplied bolts and 100gr heads.

But I shoot 20" Carbon Express Piledrivers, with 150 Excalibur Boltcutter broadhead.

With those bolts & heads my Bulldog 400 shoots 330fps verified/chronographed, and it blew the bolt right through a bull moose.

Speed is over-rated, accuracy is more important.

The only knock on the Bulldog 400 is it is a large crossbow.

Edit to add: I bought the Excalibur crank for cocking the string. It snaps onto any Excalibur crossbow and makes cocking/de-cocking a snap
