I am not real picky. I can pass on spikes etc but as the season goes on my self enforced limits decrease with the opportunity.

I've only been out twice, but have had my trail cam out for a month. I have seen 5 does and one fawn. The cam shows one fair 8 pt that comes through randomly. No other fawns, spikes, forks etc...Kind of strange. We have blk bears a plenty and wolves. That plus a couple of bad winters have been hard ...

Congrats on a nice deer. I have been holding off for "the big one" but I think this weekend anything 18 mo or older is going to look mighty tempting.

Will the 2" stabilize non-mechanical bh's? Like 125 muzzys or thunderheads?

I hunted at a friends camp for several years. Problem was I set up all the stands, bought the food, did all the scouting etc...but when I was expected to share any deer I got, cuz the owner was too lazy to get out and hunt, I found a new place. While it was a priviledge to be able to hunt there, I h...

Which STS

I don't doubt I am dredging up over discussed topics. But could you tell me what STS I should get for my Exocet? Don't they come in different lengths or something. IF your string hits them every time, does it hurt your serving?

A buddy just told me that Sims makes a bolt retainer silencer. Anyone have any experience with one of these?

Noisey little bugger

I was shooting the Exocet with one of my boys the other day. He thought that much of the noise made by the bow was from the (don't know what its called) finger thing that holds the bolt down when you are "locked and loaded". I imagine that it does vibrate a lot on the shot. What have you c...

Serving life

On an Excal factory string how many shots (doing the waxing etc) on aproximate average will it last for? This is using the factory bolts with 125 gn tips which, if I remember right, weigh in at about 419 gns. Out of my 200lb Exocet.

Please...a little more education

Got my Exocet with the right stuff package.....absolutely love it. Of course now I am looking for "upgrades" and additional cool things for my xbow. :lol: Its just as bad as all my other hobbies. I see that it is common for people here to post what gear and accessories they are using. No p...

Hey MJS,

Were you hunting out of a ground blind? Oh, congrats on your hunt.
