Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Could you find a TV or monitor that seems to be clear to you and do away with the desk, Dennis ? Maybe then you could mount the screen at your comfort view and use a wireless keyboard. I'm just grasping for something here.....

"Bagged" this guy on the trailcams on a weekly basis all summer long which was rewarding enough. Unfortunately for me, he went off on a 3 mile jaunt in early November and was taken with bow by another hunter. Such is life......I did take a doe, my first xbow deer, with the Excal Vortex. ht...

Thanks guys. One of those suggestions should work.

Thank you for the info. I'll give it a try.

I also have Firebolts. They have the flat aluminum nocks. I assume they can be removed with a little heat. It's the plastic nocks in the PowerBolts I would like to remove.

I stand corrected. They are indeed PowerBolts, and with plastic flat nocks.
My fingers were faster than my brain.......

This has no doubt been asked before, but couldn't anything on it.
Short of cutting off the arrow, has anyone found a good method for removing the flat nocks from a carbon shaft without ruining the shaft ? Would they have been glued in ? They are Excal Firebolts.

Being a little farther north than you our antler shed is happening now, or has pretty much already happened. All of our deer seasons are now over. I've given some thought to putting a couple cams out, but with all the snow cover a cam would be pretty easy to track down.

Thanks for the heads up. I use Eneloop rechargeables in all my cams and have been pretty happy with those too.

What arrows are you using? Luminoks have two metal prongs that when fired contact the arrow shaft.

Using Firebolts.

Did a search but showed nothing. Anybody tried the Firenocks with their xbow arrows to track flight ?

I think a good deal of the bias against xbows is based on nothing more than personal hangups and misinformation. I have been a vertical bow shooter for 35+ years and was as biased as anyone could be in what I personally thought about xbows and xbow users. I felt they were a poachers weapon basically...

Thanks for the tips Dennis, much appreciated..

One of the members mentioned the KillZone blind. Sold my Ameristep Doghouse and ordered and received two, and had the opportunity to hunt out of them with the muzzleloader in December. For the money they are very nice, imo. Hub style with easy setup, nice material/camo pattern and roomy. Not the hub...

I was the "new guy" here yesterday, so now I can say welcome to the forum..
I think we are both about to begin a great ride here...Congrats on the buck and sharing a very interesting read.
