Re: Newbie from the U.K.

Re: Newbie from the U.K.
Its a pitty they dont accept a cocking aid, as its easy to use a heavy arrow and slow the exomax to the 300FPS limit. If they don't allow you to join clubs because of Poundage,Speed, limits etc think about meeting some like minded people there and starting your own. Crossbowers were excluded from c...

Re: Newbie from the U.K.
In England we do a lot of 3d shooting at NFAS clubs one of which (Cloth of Gold) is just down the road from you at Gaddesden near Hemel Hempstead. Unfortunately your Exomax would be too powerful. Rules dictate that the bow must be cocked by hand and arrow speed must not exceed 300fps. It's a class ...

Re: Newbie from the U.K.
Great guys! Going to my factory saturday afternoon when everyone is gone for some target shooting. Hoping my exomax will have arrived by then, if not I'll ask my son if he'll kindly let me play with his!

Re: Newbie from the U.K.
Welcome Brother! Congrats on your new Exomax. The wax is for the serving and string. If you can, get some silicone spray to to clean and lube the deck. Spray on a rag and then wipe the top of the rail. You don't want a wax build up on your rail. As for the verticle shooters, What can I say. We are ...
