Re: Is a shoulder/scapula shot a concern for a modern crossbow hunter?
I just watched a video of death by bunjiee where he shoots 8 point buck on the shoulder with a weak 285 fps axiom crossbow (weak by today's standards) with 100gr xact broadhead. He gets about 10-16 inches of penetration and the bolt sticks out of the shoulder he shot into as the buck runs off on cam...

Re: Is a shoulder/scapula shot a concern for a modern crossbow hunter?
Holy smokes, crazy pics.
I'm not advocating aiming for the shoulder, I'm advocating for the fact that we're overstressing using heavy bolt setups. I'm thinking that any modern crossbow with 350-380gr bolt should shoot through a shoulder no problem in the event that a poor shot is made.

Is a shoulder/scapula shot a concern for a modern crossbow hunter?
Is a shoulder/scapula shot on a deer a concern for a modern crossbow hunter? Something tells me that any 175lbs modern crossbow will go through a shoulder with ease within reasonable ranges even with the low-end 350-380gr bolts. Do any of you have experience with this? I think the penetration argume...

Decocking compound xbow with rope like with xcalibur.
I know many compound xbow companies ask not to decock using the rope cocker but is this make sense?
Why can't the rope be used to decock a compound bow?

Using a crank harder then using cocking rope?
Can some crossbows be harder to cock with a crank then with a cocking rope? I've seen some people look very awkward when using a crank and it seems to use mostly arm strength which some people struggle with where as the cocking rope just uses legs and back muscles mainly which even out of shape peop...

Handling bear meat after the hunt.
So my slight research on the topic leads me to believe that handing bear meat after the hunt is very different from handing a deer carcass. Am I right to understand that the bear must get it's hide removed ASAP and iced down because of the seasonal temperatures and because of bear's anatomy with whi...

Can bears get so big they can no longer climb trees?
Random question I know; but in the wild, can bears get so big they can no longer climb trees? I'm not a bear hunter yet so I don't know their behaviors very well, but my sense is that the end game for a bear is to become so boss and fat that they no longer need to climb trees to avoid danger!? Is it...

footage of Rage Extreme heads opening up in flight!!
A video was posted recently of a hog hunt where the hunter completely missed his 2 first shots on his hog and then the 3rd shot on the hog hits it's mark but it's apparent that the head is opening up in mid-flight! The arrow acts EXTREMELY squirly, in this screen capture you can see the large two bl...

Re: VORTEX CROSSFIRE II CROSSBOW SCOPE QUESTION
40 yard zero makes sense to me. That way if your committed to a shot you ranged at 40 you zoom higher like 5x to double check your target ex: does gobbler have beard, does doe have spike horns etc. This.... without changing point of aim while zooming. Your probly going to use extra zoom most often w...

Re: 7mm-08
If you're hunting in the woods a 120GR TTSX or GMX bullet will do all that you expect. If you're shooting 400 yards+ then maybe a 140GR is a better choice.

Nikon scope is leaking !! ??
I'm in the middle of checking my gear ahead of the upcoming season and to my surprise when cleaning the lenses of my scopes I noticed some liquid buildup on the front lens. I was stumped then I noticed fluid leaking from the bell itself. This is looking like a warranty issue I think. Has anyone seen...

It's safe to shoot half moon nocks from Excals assuming they're well indexed on the string?
