Cool, but but some might compare it to a 15 yr old bikini clad girl in your car at nite...after coming home late from a swim party of course... certainly something to be discrete about even when you have a good explanation. A game warden, or Joe citizen seeing that setup would probably think "p...

I've encountered the same attitude from bow shop employees (not Bass pro). My response is to not respond and take my business elsewhere. I doubt the owner feels that way, but he hired the people with the attitudes. I generally like to shop at local stores, and have bought two recurves from the above...

I like this book which has some practical information about how to process a deer for food: http://www.amazon.com/Primitive-Wilderness-Living-Survival-Skills/dp/0967877776/sr=8-9/qid=1161047184/ref=pd_bbs_9/002-3837878-0997662?ie=UTF8&s=books It's an interesting book, but then I am into wilderne...

A Point Blanc might be the best choice. Anyone know a US dealer for the Point Blanc crossbow? I found archersnook.com (CA) who sell a deluxe model, but no one else. Anyone know a vendor (US or CA) who sells the standard PB? For what its worth, gandkarchery.com (also CA) sell the lite limbs and stirr...

Easton Carbon vs Excalibur Bolts

I have three sets of bolts, Excalibur Gold Tip Laser II's, 2216's, and Easton Carbon all using 100 gr field points. I found a noticeable difference in the accuracy between the Gold Tips, 2216's and the factory Easton Carbon bolts. The Easton Carbon's impact point shifts and they aren't as consistent...

Replacement Riser?

Can a replacement riser be purchased for a new (2006) model Excalibur Phoenix? I have found where replacement limbs can be bought (www.archersnook.com), but no riser. Can a replacement riser be sold through a dealer such as Dan Miller, or must a replacement riser be bought used? I am looking to swit...

B.A. Mason shoes has E4 boots: http://www.bamason.com/product.asp?family%5Fid=954&cat%5Fid=80&type=3 My most recent pair of work boots from them were made in China, but they still warranty them the same. Unfortunately, they are mail order only unless you are near Wisconsin. They made a decen...

I just bought an Allen double bow case shown here: http://www.keystonecountrystore.com/Soft%20Cases/Allen_Company_Double_Bow_Case_BU_3_pocket_42%22/Page_1/BOC2122504.html While it's not the same case described by Swede, it does handle the stock and prod assemblies well. Also, a box of bolts in a MTM...

Just to clarify, I was referring to the bag target which is only for field points. It has a picture of a deer with a mask on one side and a broadside with the vital area marked on the other. I haven't taken it apart, but believe its like my older bag target stuffed with something like nylon screen m...

Hi, I am dragging this post out again to find out if anyone is interested in getting a bow case like Swede showed? I contacted www.excaliburcrossbows.de and they want 117.32 euros for the case with shipping. I think the case alone is 80 euros. I considered buying one but the wiring of money and exch...

Yes,

I have one (along with an 'ugly butt' xbow target from the 80's covered in burlap). It's a great target at a great price! My Phoenix puts arrows in no further than 3-4" from 50 feet away. It's a bit heavier than my older target of the same type I mentioned, but a good value.
