Kentucky elk pic ( finally)
Sorry that its taken so long, but here is a picture of the elk I bagged in September! He was no match for my Excalibur. I shot him at 38 yards, and the arrow went right through him! It was a double lung shot. I never did find my arrow :(. He still managed to go over 200 yards! It was an awesome expe...

Re: some 50yd arrow test today
I've learned at 40-50 yards you need some kind of backstop, because if you miss the target with the speed these arrows are traveling, you can kiss them good-bye. I've got 2 arrows on the other side of the creek next to my house in some of the thickest stuff God has ever created...I'll never see them...

Re: bad trade
This thread reminds me of a conversation that I had with my ex-father in law. We were hunting one cold morning and he told me that he had missed a deer because his scoped had fogged up. When I told him, you get what you pay for, he got a little pissed off, then told me that he gave $75 dollars for i...

Re: Kansas Legalizes Crossbows
Welcome, there are some really great people on this forum. I researched the heck out of crossbows before I bought my Equinox, and I know that I made the right decision! You can drive tacks at 30 yards with a little practice!

Re: Got drawn for a Kentucky Bull Elk tag (archery)
Thanks everyone, you can be sure that if I shoot one, there will be plenty of pics! MuskyMan454, I haven't put in for a zone yet. I've just now started talking to guide services. Since I'm as far west as you can be in our great state, I have no idea where I'm going. Any Pointers????

Got drawn for a Kentucky Bull Elk tag (archery)
I can't believe it, checked the other morning and seen that I had been drawn! I'm the only person in my county!
I'll be taking my Equinox to hunt, crossbows are not allowed the first two weeks, but I have a medical excemption, so I'm good to go.
Looks like I better get practicing!!!

Re: first impression....vortex
I got my excalibur 2 weeks ago, and I can't say enough good things about it.
Up until I got my excalibur, I had only shot a crossbow ONCE, now I try and shoot it every day!
Let us know how it goes...Mike

Re: Waiting is hard to do!
I feel your pain! I was invited to hunt 14,000 private acres in Colorado for elk this year, but I'm not going to be able to make it...hopefully the offer will stand next year

Re: Deer Attractants
I put my trail cams up last year and started baiting with corn, since I live 40 min from where I hunt, I couldn't always keep the corn pile fresh. There was a HUGE difference in the amount of pictures when I was using corn and when I was using attractants. I would get 30 to 40 pictures of deer in a ...

Finally shot the new Equinox
Hey Guys, thanks for the get well wishes...you know you're sick when your new Excalibur comes in and you don't even care! I put the new crossbow together in a few minutes, using the web videos posted here and went out excited as can be. After doing a search on this forum for targets, I decided to go...

The new Equinox is here, but I'm sick
How's that for bad timing? My new Equinox got here in two days, and I'm too sick to even put it together! I better get to feeling by tomorrow morning, because I'm putting it together and shooting it, if I have to do it from the toilet! I'll let you know how it goes...the crossbow, not the sickness :)
