My sister sells them

My baby sister owns a power sports dealership in Gaylord MI. Argo is one of the brands she sells. They are awesome vehicles but do leave much to be desired in the comfort department.

still more ??'s

Thanks for the info.

Can/should you use the faster string for hunting?

Will the "cockerdoo" (sp?) cocking aid work on this model?

Equinox Questions

I have wanted to purchase a higher speed crossbow for some time now but have found the ExoMax to be just too long and bulky for my liking. I see now that they have introduced the Equinox which appears much shorter and lighter (key issues with me). Any comments from new owners? Also, in the descripti...

Lighted Nocks for ExoMax

Has anybody here had any luck using lighted nocks with an ExoMax?

My pal tried them and they busted all to heck with the first shot.

Wood Stocks

Over time, wood stocks are sure to get scratched up quite a bit. I have a Horton Super Sport, about 13 years old. It has a solid walnut wood stock. It looks like it has been through a veg-a--matic it has so many scratches and nicks on it. These come mostly from pulling it up and down from a tree sta...

What I dont like

about the ExoMax stock is that the darn thing is about 6 inches too long. Sorry, but to me, it feels like I am lifting a snow shovel. It is just too long! Fortunately, we have our friend from Ohio who can remedy this and still keep all the shigh-speed characteristics.

Who me. Clarise?

Isn't "Michigan Bill" the name of the serial killer in the movie Silence of the Lambs?

Never

Probably a good idea but we feel that it more important to keep pressure off the property as much as possible, including practicing from actual hunting stands. One can become very proficient through practice elsewhere. On my property, a local farmer plants my foodplots in early August. At that time,...

I dont buy it

I'm willing to bet a bag of carrots that that sequence was NOT staged. I know the sound when buddies harang and ridicule their fellow hunter (usually for taking too SMALL a deer). It's part sympathy and part good-natured tease all in the same tone. Been the target of it in my lifetime once or twice....

Saw the same info. Thanks.

Random thought; why not spray this stuff on your arrows as well?
