Re: Another New Guy

Hey Emptyfreezer.

I have a question that I bet a lot of the newer xbow hunters have. Is there anywhere to locate other hunters in the southern ontario area (or elsewhere) who are willing to share their expertise and train new hunters?

Re: Finally joined the ranks

I was just kidding you Colder, you have those two already. They are between your ears. I know it sounds simplistic but just don't ruin your day with a dry-fire or smacking your thumb. Don't let anyone interrupt your sequence of loading and shooting. Not even a mosquito bite! I know they do make the...

Re: Finally joined the ranks

Congratulations! How about a scope, stringing aid, S5, extra string, rope cocker, arrows, broadheads, broadhead target, and thumb and dry-fire protector? Thanks, Boo. It came with the Varizone along with the rest of the lite stuff package. I am looking at the S5, but figured that could wait, and I ...

I also picked up wax, stringing aid and a 28x28 hurricane target. Just need to buy a case now. How are take rifle/shotgun take down cases...

Re: SW Ontario deer hunting license help

I checked. From my interpretation, all WMUs allow bow hunting during gun season as none exclude it...in fact some list bow and muzzle loaders only.

Re: Safety Lock Question

Thanks for the advice. I am thinking Phoenix or Axiom now. Read so many great things about both, but am leaning towards spending the extra $200 for the Phoenix Lite Stuff @ Gagnon's.

Re: Safety Lock Question

Thanks for the speedy replies. although i prefer the feel of the thumbhole stock the motion needed to disengage the saftey (having to release the grip) DO you have to completely remove your grip? By looking at it I figured it was more of a thumb dance out of the thumbhole and over and around to to g...

Do you have a website where one could peruse your various models? For a suggestion, how about making it a maximum ag...
