I have experienced the phenomenon LV2HNT expressed above. I hunt below a large wooded hill/ridge which happens to be their bedding area. I hunt off a food plot along the base of the hill. When the wind comes from the general direction of the hill, a wind curl/eddy occurs at the bottom, pulling the w...

First Excalibur Deer
I harvested a nice opening day doe taken from a distance of 12 yards. The slick trick broadhead resulted in a 45 yard track. Sweet Crossbow! This hunt will hopefully be one of many memorable experiences. The hunt continues - where I hunt I can take 3 more bonus does plus a buck. Thanks forum members...

Bought one.
Bought one on sale at Cabelas for 229.00 US + tax. I liked the clarity, magnification factor, and the feel in my hand. The RX-II cost ~ $50.00 more for some additional features I don't need i.e. TBR. I don't gun hunt in the badlands or mountain areas where that feature would be most useful. I haven'...

After 2 dry fires, (dumb!!) I saw one of the limbs had a splinter along the widest outside edge about 1/16 inch wide at it's widest point (the corner, not all the way through) and 2 1/2 inches long. I took a dremel tool and terminated the splinter, then contoured it with a sanding bit. I've shot it ...

Side wind vs 4-blade BH
I am interested to know if any of you have compared the drift effect on an arrow with a side wind (at 30-40 yds), comparing a 3-blade broadhead with a 4-blade BH. Is there a measurable differance? I am considering a change from the WASP Boss to the popular Slick Trick. Thanks!

New Excoet 200 serving separation problem
I just received my new Exocet 200, and was sighting it in this weekend. Even after waxing/rubbing the serving every 5 shots I have 3 separation locations. Two line up with the outside edges of the string catch, (when it is cocked) the third is located about 1/4" out where the rope cocking hook ...
