Safety Off

Well my Vortex arrived with some disappointment. They have you disassemblying the product to put it back together. Further, They sent 4 wrench but they don't fit all the screws they want you to take off? I have an email into the factory to see what gives. This will be a good check on the service. More to come....

What do you have to disassemble? I do not remember having to take anything off to put it together? You trying to take the limbs off to put the pads on? Did you watch the entire DVD on how to assemble it? The only thing you should have to do is put the main bow on the stock, put the string on, cock it, put the pads on and your done except for the sight. What are you trying to take off? They do not give a wrench for the limbs since you should not be taking them off.

Safety Off

No, did not watch the DVD yet. However, I got an installation document enclosed (1 sheet - front and back). It showed a diagram of the Dissipator bar and clear instructions to take it appart? It said to take (2) 5/16" limb screws and (4) #10 recoil plate screws out. The #10 screws do not have a wrench that fits (looks like sometype of smallhex head)? Then you replace the existing screws with longer ones which are enclosed (for recoil plate). Last thing you do is put the pads on. Maybe I should watch the video but why would they put this document inside the box, (4) allen type wrenchs and longer screws? I think this should have been done at the factory! The pads I can see doing - due to the fact they explained you need to have the bow strung before putting on the pads.

Went and looked atmy original box and I do not have the sheet you spoke of. I looked at my dissipator bar mount screws and they do not look to go all the way through, so I do not know if what you have is a upgrade and it was supposed to be done by the seller before shipping it? If they gave you four of the same bolts and only longer I would say it is a upgrade that did not get done before shipping and that is why there is instructions but no wrench. The one thing I could tell you is that all USA Excal issues go through Dan Miller, He is the US rep. Give him a call in the morning and he will be able to sort it out for you ASAP. His number is 740-483-2312. Where did you get the CB from?

Safety Off

I got it from Cabelas. Thanks for the information regarding Dan Miller. His name has come up from two others - must know his stuff. Will call him first chance I get. Thanks again.
