I've found brace height has some effect on point of impact, but not a huge amount. In shooting a 30 target 3-D course the ff flemish string I use (I keep the bow unstrung, so it will have a high brace height when first strung then settle in after 5 - 10 shots) it may change an inch or two at 40 yard...

How close is too close? - tree stand shots

Moved my 15' ladder stand yesterday because the deer (at least the shooters) are hitting the feeder in the morning hours. The wind is usually wrong from where I did have it located for morning hunting. The only suitable tree is located right behind the gamecam position (if you've seen any of the pic...

I unstring mine unless I'm shooting almost every day, and unstring if temperatures are very high (like over 75-80F) where I store it. In the summer I just target shoot without the DB pads, so I don't have to take them off each time I unstring. When Deer season gets here I will leave it strung with t...

I never saw any real need or had a big desire for carbons........... Until I tried them :lol: Now I shoot nothing else! I've lost one, had one robin-hooded (Mark H. is a good shot!), and actualy broke one that deflected and hit a tree sideways. In the same length of time I would probably have gone t...

Wish I had more information to share, but my daughter kind of caught us unprepared on this one. She wasn't due for a few more weeks, and had a baby shower scheduled for yesterday. My wife (her step-mom) and my mother & sister were going, so I decided to do the courtious thing and stay out of the...

I've owned both, and I sure miss the Vixen (I sold it & went to Exocet), but I sure enjoy the Exocet. In other words no right or wrong choice :wink: Actually, If I were buying an Excalibur for primarily deer hunting I would go with the Exocet. Speed does matter with a whitetail's reactions. But ...

O/T - "mini" predator call sale!

I’m dropping the “mini” calls from standard production as I’ve designed a new slightly larger call to replace them. These calls are about 2" in length, and I’m selling my existing inventory for only $9.95 for the first call, and any additional calls on the same shipment for only $7.49. Shipping...

To me the beauty of Excalibur is that they will meet or exceed the accuracy of any other crossbow out there, and they do it without wheels! A very simple to use and maintain crossbow, speeds to compete with any compound models, extremely rugged, and amazingly accurate. I've heard good reviews on Ten...
