Excalibur Crossbow Cases and Quivers
A padded case protects an Excalibur crossbow's limbs and scope during transport, while a quiver keeps arrows mounted and ready in the field. This page compares Excalibur's current case options and quiver hardware.
Case options range from a general-purpose padded case to model-specific designs, like the case built to match the Hybrid X's shape, so fitment is worth checking against your specific crossbow before buying.
Pros
- Case options range from general-purpose (Ex-Shield, Tomb) to model-specific (Hybrid X)
- Tomb case converts to a backpack for hands-free carry
- 4-arrow quiver detaches quickly via a locking screw
Cons
- Model-specific cases (like the Hybrid X case) won't fit other crossbow shapes as snugly
- General-purpose cases add bulk compared to a tailored fit
Ex-Shield: general-purpose padded case
The Ex-Shield case is built for Matrix Series crossbows, with heavy-duty zippers, a shoulder strap and carry handle, and three separate pockets for accessories. It's designed as an everyday transport case rather than a hard-shell travel case.
Tomb: backpack-style soft case
The Tomb case converts into a backpack via its shoulder straps and is built from heavy-duty 1000D Cordura nylon, with two internal sleeves and three internal pockets accessible through external zippers, plus a padded main compartment with Velcro straps to hold the crossbow securely. At roughly 35.4 inches long, it's sized for a full crossbow plus quiver and accessories.

Hybrid X: a model-specific case
Excalibur also sells a case custom-tailored to the Hybrid X's shape, giving a snugger fit than a general-purpose case along with padded compartments for arrows, a quiver, and other accessories. If you own a Hybrid X specifically, this model-matched case will fit tighter than the Ex-Shield or Tomb.
Excalibur case options compared
If you're shopping for an Excalibur case and aren't sure which one fits your crossbow, the table below lines up the three current options by what they fit and what sets each apart. Fitment is the deciding factor: a model-specific case hugs one crossbow shape, while the Ex-Shield and Tomb are sized to carry a range of Excalibur bows.
| Case | Fits | Key features |
|---|---|---|
| Ex-Shield | Matrix Series crossbows | Padded soft case with heavy-duty zippers, shoulder strap and carry handle, and three accessory pockets |
| Tomb | Full crossbow plus quiver, roughly 35.4" long | 1000D Cordura nylon, converts to a backpack, two internal sleeves and three pockets |
| Hybrid X case | Hybrid X only (model-specific) | Custom-tailored fit with padded compartments for arrows and a quiver |
The Ex-Shield and Tomb are the two general-purpose picks, while the Hybrid X case trades flexibility for a tighter, model-matched fit.
Quiver mounting
Excalibur's 4-arrow quiver uses a polymer hood with two arrow-holding clips rated for both mechanical and fixed-blade broadheads, and detaches from the crossbow with a quick twist of a locking screw for times you want to carry arrows separately from the bow.
See our Excalibur crossbow guide for which current models each case and quiver fits.
Soft case or model-specific fit?
The practical choice comes down to how many Excalibur crossbows you own and how you carry them. A general-purpose soft case like the Ex-Shield or Tomb will accept a range of bow shapes, which is the simpler pick if you run more than one model or plan to upgrade later. The model-specific Hybrid X case fits tighter because it's cut to a single shape, so it protects that bow best but won't adapt to a different crossbow down the line.
For carrying arrows, remember the quiver is removable: both soft cases have internal pockets, and the 4-arrow quiver twists off its locking screw so it can travel inside the case rather than on the bow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best case for an Excalibur crossbow?
If you own a Hybrid X, the model-specific Hybrid X case will fit tighter; for other models, the Ex-Shield or backpack-style Tomb case are general-purpose padded options.
Does Excalibur make a backpack-style case?
Yes, the Tomb case is built with shoulder straps that convert it into a backpack for hands-free carry.
How does the Excalibur quiver attach?
The 4-arrow quiver mounts and detaches with a quick twist of a locking screw, letting you remove it from the crossbow when needed.
What's the difference between the Ex-Shield and Tomb cases?
Both are padded soft cases, but the Ex-Shield is built around the Matrix Series with a shoulder strap and carry handle, while the Tomb is made from 1000D Cordura nylon and converts into a backpack for hands-free carry over longer walks.
Does an Excalibur case fit the crossbow with the quiver attached?
The Tomb case is sized at roughly 35.4 inches to hold a full crossbow plus quiver and accessories. For other cases, it's worth removing the 4-arrow quiver first - it detaches with a quick twist of its locking screw - and storing it in one of the case's internal pockets.
