Excalibur Crossbow today announced that the Hybrid X has been named Field & Stream’s Best Overall crossbow for 2025, following the magazine’s hands-on test and review published August 22, 2025.
What Field & Stream Tested
Field & Stream spent days evaluating 2025 crossbows for speed, accuracy, handling, and ease-of-use. Categories included: Accuracy, trigger weights, overall bow weights, accessories, fit and finish, and cocking effort before selecting overall winners.
Where the Hybrid X Shined:
“One of the most interesting new crossbows I’ve tested in years… the Hybrid-X was exceptionally accurate, turning in sub-2-inch groups at 50 yards,” wrote Field & Stream Hunting Editor Will Brantley in the award article.
Why This Win Matters
Founded more than 125 years ago, Field & Stream reaches a broad, cross-endemic audience across hunting, fishing, and outdoor gear—far beyond archery-only outlets. Their independent, test-based reviews provide mainstream credibility that amplifies consumer confidence.
“Hybrid X proves hunters don’t have to choose between rugged reliability and advanced performance, they can get both.” said Todd Snader, Brand Manager at Excalibur Crossbow. “This honor reflects the work of our entire team and a community that demand gear that performs in real conditions.”
