Re: Christmas Morning Hunt

Great pictures it is great seeing you spend some time with your dad. I have enjoyed my family as well the last couple of days. My son is stationed in Arizona and he drove 31 hours with his family to spend time with all of us. I haven't seen him or the grand kids in 2 years other than on Skype, boy w...

Re: Additional Tag Filled

Congrats on your deer, I like it when it happens quick sometimes I'll wait around to see if I can get a double. Our season ended yesterday I ended up with 5 deer but none with the crossbow. I just received my Vortex last week and I didn't have it ready yet for broadheads. Good luck to you and Merry ...

Re: Made a bad shot...

Congrats on your beautiful buck and awesome recovery. I'm glad you waited a while to do the recovery it is so easy to be anxious and go and jump the deer to be never seen again. A friend of mine lost an nice buck in Ohio because he wouldn't listen to us when we told him let the deer alone he ended u...

Re: Gold Tip Lazer II's ( Need some Help)

I always mark my arrows even with my compound since I shoot 3D all spring and summer long this seems to be a must some arrows fly a little better than oth...

Gold Tip Lazer II's ( Need some Help)

I sighted my new Vortex in today when the rain finally broke from 20 to 50 yards with Gold Tip Lazer II's, that weigh 407 grains with a 100 gr. pt. Several of these arrows wouldn't group with the rest of my arrows. I was shooting from my bench and holding very steady. They have the stock 4 inch flet...

Re: Varizone Scopes?

I sighted my Vortex in today from 20 yards out to 50. I chronographed my crossbow at 301 fps with a Goldtip Lazer 2 arrow weighing in at 407 grs. I set my speed dial at 300 fps and set my scope at 20 off the bench and then starting moving back to 50 yards that I measured with a rangefinder. I was hi...
