Re: Torn (Vixen VS Axiom)
I have both a brown Vixen and a Axiom. As far as shooting and harvesting deer are concerned; for the life of me I cannot tell much difference a'tall. After shooting them for more than 10 years, I have yet to have a single mechanical problem (other than wearing out a couple of strings). I am of the o...

Re: My first crossbow!
Some have suggested that the Axiom might be one of the best, most user friendly and most dependable crossbows that Excalibur has ever made. And, I am not one to disagree with that suggestion. Your crossbow is a crossbow that you will use the rest of your life and one that the next generation will us...

Re: How Much Speed Is Really Needed
Fred Bear was shooting elephants in Africa and we did not have a man on the moon before "any" bow (vertical or horizontal) could shoot faster that 200 fps. I do not know if this record still holds, but in 2006, the record Canadian Moose was harvested with a Vixen, Danny Miller once told me...

Re: Removable Stirrup????
vixmaster, Do you remember the year (I think that it was 5 or 6) years ago that we had some pretty good discussions regarding folding and other stirrup options? If this thread can be located, there were some pretty good and ingenious ideas. Yup. I am not able to hunt much a'tall anymore. But, when I...

Re: Merry Chistmas
'Tis been awhile since I last did much posting on the forum. Good to see some familiar names that I recognize and a good more that are new to me. The struggle for full crossbow inclusion here is Mississippi is now years past and forgotten by about most every one. The sky did not fall in; the deer he...

Re: Mississippi Is Now a Full Crossbow Inclusion State
It has been two full hunting seasons since Mississippi fully included crossbows in all deer and turkey hunting seasons. After the first flurry of rhetoric, the sky did not fall and there has been no measurable impact on the deer herd. It has been awhile since I last posted and thought that I would d...

Re: OT - falling apart / old age
I am of the firm opinion that inside of each of us old folks that there is a young folk screaming, "What in the hell happened?"
At age 70, the young folk inside me told me to go to Burning Man this year -- And I am.

Re: New cooler
I have a number of friends who have Yeti coolers. From what I have seen, Yeti cooler are possibly the best coolers on the market. If you will be using your cooler often, for long periods, many times a year and can afford the cost - then they are well worth the price. However, if you only use you coo...

Re: X-Act Mechanical Broadhead ??
X-Act also makes practice points and I have been using the same practice points for three years. In my experience, my hunting X-Act broadheads impact the same point as my X-Act practice points. When I use one of my hunting X-Act broadheads in the field, I discard it and consider it a small price to ...

Re: X act broadhead won't open!
I have been using X-Act mechanical broadheads for the last three seasons and I have not had a problem with them opening on either targets, deer, or rabbits. I suspect that your problem is isolated and you might with communicate with the maker for an exchange. They are good folks and would wish to kn...
