Re: They just don't get it!

WSS here in town used to be a great hunting and fishing store; that was before it was sold to UFA a number of years back. I'm not sure if anything has changed there but I doubt it; anyways, when I was there buying a crossbow all of their "new" Xbows were also the demos. They have a little ...

Re: Do you worry about Front of Center?

Here's some more info to fry your brain with. An arrow is a rocket; a coasting rocket whose fuel burnt out when it lost contact with the bowstring. In a rocket there are 2 main points of concern; the CG (center of gravity) and the CP (center of pressure). The CG is where the actual rocket balances i...

Here's a new one on me

I know this is a little off center of your topic SEW but I've commented here and don't think it merits a new thread...or maybe it does. So the other day I'm out shooting the Y25; fine tuning with broad heads, Muzzy 125 3-blade that I've used longer than any other hunting head but the first time with...

Re: FOC Broadhead

This is a good thread. It gives us something to consider. The alarm clock is set for 5 AM.; after making food and a thermos for the day I'm off. Gun range as the sun rises in the east while I'm shooting my new( to me) rifle to the west; Husquvarna 1640 in 30-06; made same year I was, 1960. I'll be t...

Re: FOC Broadhead

When you(SEW) said: "However, there is a big difference in the inflight and terminal performance of the various expandibles. I'm consumed with ballistic matters:" I took note. I agree with that, and that is why the data that you provide cannot tell the story of how a broad head will perfor...

Re: Fletching Preferences??

I have 3" Fusion Vanes on my arrows. They are a tad lower in profile than most.

I like em.

Stock rear sight for sale or donation?

As the heading says, I'm looking for rear sight that someone may have kicking around and would part with.

Re: How accurate is your Matrix?

Tested one out at the store today; like ANY NEW TOY, VERY NICE.

Much less "recoil" then my Y25; are the limbs that much lighter???

Noticed that the string deflection over the deck was considerably less than mine. Are the matrix bows all like that?

Re: bear stand

Re: recoil pads on crossbows

Being a small guy, the recoil pad on my Y25 made the XBow way to long for me; solution? Well, lets say that it came out a whole lot better than it sounds but what I did was to trace out the butt of the stock sens pad on to the middle of a vespa tire and used my dremel to fashion the edges into somet...

Re: hunting bear

Depends how fat you like your bear. :wink:

Keep in mind that bears like just about anything; they're scavengers and diggers from the swine family.

Grease, pancake syrup and a small bottle of anise flavoring are all good.

Re: Brass Inserts

Any archery shop that deals with Gold Tip should be able to order them for you; that's what I did to get mine. I know that there are sizes for the Lazer II, III and IV; I just don't know if any of those will work for your aluminum shafts but you can go off of the inside and outside dimensions for th...
