Re: Targets

I just made one two weeks ago....A big bundle of old clothes with zippers and buttons cut off and tied them together in a bed sheet...Works GREAT! Arrows only go in a few inches and slide out with two fingers. I am going to get one of my empty feed bags, when I get a chance, and put everything into ...

Re: New CB.....coming soon...***Pics added***

Well I did some shooting with it today, during soem snow we are getting here. I shot but the flat and moon nocks and both fired pretty well the exact same. When shooting the moon nocks I just made sure I had the arrow positioned properly and I didn't find any real difference between those with moon ...

Re: Questions to ask when buying a used CB

Re: Phoenix or axiom that is thy questiok

I myself have decided on the Axiom in the next few weeks when the time comes. I have heard the whole composite debate but the way I look at it is that should it warp or wear funny or anything like that that Excalibur would see it and help me out through their warranty. I hope I am not being naive bu...

Re: Wisconsin Bowhunters Running Scared, Again!

From the sounds of it that state allows hunters to take as many deer as they want, why else would they be concerned? If there was a limited amount of tags, as in Ontario, there can only be so many deer taken legally. They can't believe that because people can use crossbows they will drop their rifle...
