Re: Boots

I have both the Lacrosse Alpha Burleys and Muck Boot Woody Max. I much prefer the Muck boots. They're lighter, more comfortable and much easier to take off. They are also much warmer. I have 2 pair of pa ck boots which I haven't worn since getting the Woody Max. If it's exceptionally cold, I just a...

I did. Reviews, even on the LaCrosse site weren't that
good. Biggest complaint was durability. They don't last.
At least that's the majority of the reviews I read.
Thanks though,

Re: New to the Forum & a new Eclipse XT

Try and get $5 or $10 off the Morrell, they are made here in Ar. Best production bag I've found. The 18-1 self seals where your bheads hit, lasts a lifetime for most shooters. Don't just assume you will be hitting same poi w/ bheads going from field points either ....... If you haven't done so yet,...

Magazine for Crossbow

Anyone recommend a good magazine to subscribe
to for Crossbow enthusiasts? Doe Excaliber have
their own rag?
Thanks in advance,

Re: New to the Forum & a new Eclipse XT

I had to google the Bushnell arc rangefinder, lol. Wow, they are proud of those things. I use the cheapest Bushnell they sell, less than $150 and it does it all. Use the $ saved on a Morrell bag target and a Rinehart 18-1 for bheads. No, there's no 'one does it all' at least not that I'm aware of. ...
