Re: Ticks!
Wasn't aware there's a vaccine against Lyme disease for dogs. Definitely needs to pursue. Thanks for the PSA. Ticks are worst I've ever seen in Detroit suburbs. Our experience mirrors yours after taking an outdoor stroll. Permethrin is prolly working on long pants, but my problem is we gotta cross t...

Re: C2 Recall
I just visited Port Huron warranty center last Friday, and hook replacement was among the items resolved. Nick was fantastic! BUT THEY'RE CLOSING :( Friday, 12April, is last day. Operations moving to Taxachussettes where, as of 2023, crossbow hunting is legal only for disabled hunters with permit (w...

Re: What the heck is wrong with people today?
We got booted from a farm a few years ago, someone kept driving in the crop fields and we got blamed, hope you don’t Steve. A local farmer gave me permission to hunt years ago. After initially introducing myself and several follow-up visits/conversations (my first meeting with him was not "can...

Re: Best 3 things I've bought.....so far
Still can't get myself to buy a Worksharp. I swear by my Outdoor Edge folding drop point knives. Incredible steel which will go 4-5 deer before needing touch-up. HOWEVER, couple years back kids gave me Outdoor Edge Razor Lite 3.5" for Christmas and HOLY COW you will never ever need to handle a...

Re: Excaliburs survey
From what I've gathered they already do a fair amount of warranty work out of their Port Huron location. But would be a bummer for you Canadians if they moved production out of Kitchener. Hopefully they are just gathering useful info, and keep production there, where it began. Resurrecting old thre...

Re: 2024 Season
2023 was worst season in a looong time. Only got two little ones. But, better than expected since I wasn't sure of getting out at all. One of my favorite "retreat to the woods" late season areas was hit by major windstorms last spring which brought down tons of trees and re-routed the deer...

How cold is too cold
Our deer season in Michigan extends thru 01January on private land. We've had weather as cold as current (1F) before in December. WHich brings to mind the question: How cold is too cold to shoot an Excalibur? Those limbs will get more brittle at extremely cold temps. Does Excalibur have a "do n...

Re: C2 crank hook broke
Thanks everyone! Will contact Excalibur. Have a Matrix 380 with limb issue, so this will be a two-fer.

C2 crank hook broke
Just that. Are hooks available separately, or do I have to buy a charger rope and cannibalize it? It's used to charge my Suppressor 400TD. Surprised it would crack after <100 shots.

Re: How do you keep your feet warm?
Hands & feet get cold when your core temp is challenged and your body reduces circulation to the extremities. Remember, 100% of your blood flows thru the kidneys. I sewed two small pockets at the kidneys on my thermals and place handwarmers in there. Hardly ever been cold or experienced cold fin...

Re: Matrix question
For a back up bow I would look on Crags list or Ebay for a used Matrix. ^^^ THAT ^^^ I have a Matrix 355 and bought a Matrix 380 as backup on Craigslist. Liked it so much that I now have THREE Matrix 380's :shock: Hi, my name is Bob. EDIT: I just checked Craigslist in Detroit and there are several ...

Re: Excalibur Brown Bear
Guy selling Brown Bear confirmed it's 175# draw. But, no REDS suppressors. Can those be retrofit, or would I have to swap risers?

Re: Excalibur Brown Bear
Dunno Boo. Found it on Craigslist and considering purchase, but only if lower draw weight. 175# should be manageable, but not 225# (which would be the 350fps you indicated). Guess I'll hold out for a used Exocet, Vixen, Ibex, etc. Any recommendations for low draw weight Excal for yutes? Stock length...
