I do plan on hunting with it for moose and bear in the future, this is why I was shifting to the exomax. I have never hunted from a tree stand with my crossbow and I just picked up a vertical bow to use for that. From those who draw both the exocet 200 and exomax how big of a difference does the 25 ...

Exocet vs Exomax

I am going to get a new crossbow and anything but Excalibur I have learned is just dumb. My question is regarding the difference between the Exocet 200 and Exomax, what makes people go to the exomax? Is it that much better, I have been leaning towards it as I am already going to spend that much mone...

My uncle used to get calls from the cops to pick up the road kills. We got some meat off a few of them. I would say take the rack, no use to anything but the rodents.

I have that same red dot on my crossbow at the moment. I will be picking up an Exomax in the summer and will move to the verizone, not because it is no good but only for help with point of impact at range. The red dot is good but in low light conditions it can overpower your sighting picture. If you...

I shoot the broadheads to sight in then switch to field points if I feel like shooting for fun. My father setup his bow with field points last year then switched to broadheads that were suppose to fly the same, they were off a little and he hit the deer a little back, not the ideal situation.

You could use stain but I think it would take too evenly to look natural, why not leave it as is, then you have another conversation starter.

That is the cheaper one, I am sure you would be able to convert to that setup by just opening up the bottom of the mag and fitting the box. You may also be able to find a cheap take off BDL stock from a model 700 and make it fit. Here is another place that has conversions but the price is a little h...

There are conversions for the model 700 but I am not sure how close the 721 is to that. Check out Cabelas and they have a long action conversion to DM for the 700.

Wolverine stock

Does anyone know if the newer style stock will fit the old Excalibur Wolverine. My Dad uses this bow but the thing weighs a ton to drag around the bush, could you replace it with a take off from a vixen?

One of my Dads new neighbours has elk and they still have headgear, it has been very warm this winter, they should be dropping though anytime.

I do not plan on going to the states to hunt, but there are bear in the area we hunt deer with the rifle and I have always wanted to moose hunt with a bow, hense the thought of going bigger now. Do you guys forsee the laws in Ontario changing to limit bow poundage?

Thanks, I read some of the other posts and I tend to agree with the 50 yard deer being a no-no, mind you I know of people taking them farther but I personally would not try it. I was just trying to get a feel of what the 325fps and 225# pull mean in the reality of hunting, if it is really worth it. ...

Thanks, that is what I was looking for, I like to see the kinetic energy numbers as well. I do not plan on buying another XBow for a long time and I know the quality of excalibur will allow that. That being said I plan on hunting bear and moose at some point with the bow and going a little faster an...
