Re: Wonder if anyone has had luck with Muzzy

From what I hear muzzy is very crossbow friendly, but the company is not. For that reason a muzzy shall never touch my crossbow. Or my compound for that matter. :mrgreen: I have read the same thing before on this forum ,but I also see them as sponsers for some excalibur hunting shows [Deer city U.S...

Re: Thought i would get more feed back on the cat whiskers

Strum your post got me thinking, then Rufus mentioned yarn. I used yarn for over 30 years on all my v-bows, so this morning I tried it .It made a big difference, My wife thought I was shooting my v-bow , All she heard was a thud when the bow went off and one when the arrow hit the target, Before sh...

I have a soft case for mine for short trips , but I have taken the riser off and used my old vertical hard case . It takes l...

Re: PICKED SOME UP

Thanks guys I knew I could count on you . A bow shooting club was handing out anti x-bow sheets , and these people read off it line per line . When you tell them they don't shoot 1 in. groups at 100 yd's [My rifle might on a VERY good day] Or most newer V-bows shoot faster ,or they have triggers and...
