First deer ever with my Equinox!

This is my first deer ever shot with my new Equinox! 5 came by my deer stand and after waiting for a buck to show up I shot this beauty. She ran about 100 yards with a pass through using Firebolts & 150Gr bolt cutters. I also just got both of my sons new Excals. http://i1247.photobucket.com/albu...

Varizone speed ring?

I set the scope to be on at 20 yards and IF I am 2" high at 30 yards I turn the speed ring DOWN on the Varizone scope. Is this right??? Thanks and I know this subject has been beat to death already but I would like to know. :?:

POI between field points & Bolt Cutters?

It seems that the POI, (for my son & I), changes between Firebolt field points & Bolt Cutters on both the Equinox and Axiom SMF at 30 yards. Both field points & Bolt Cutters are 150gr. Does this seem normal and/or are we doing something wrong? We had to adjust both up/down & left/rig...

Axiom SMF brace height?

The brace height is NOT marked on the rail for my new Axiom SMF CB. Is this normal & should I mark the rail or just measure the 1" to 1 3/16" distance? Thanks :?:

Re: Leaving rope cocker attached?

That is the way I leave my rope cocker BUT I am brand new to crossbows. I have seen reports where folks have their bow fully cocked all day without any harm to the limbs. I would be very interested in any problems in this area & thanks. Another advantage that I found is that when I am going to m...

Bolt fletching help

When sighting in my Equinox the bolts went through the target and messed up the fletching. What are my options for repair and where can I get the parts & glue please? Any pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks and I sat in the tree stand this morning but only saw some tree rats! The trail cam shows d...

Parts interchange?

Is there any site where you can determine what parts are interchangeable between the different models of Excalibur crossbows. Example dissipator bars, S5s, strings, cocking aids, bolts & BHs, etc.? Thanks

Re: boo on trigger

Dumb question please. If I have a new Equinox will it already have the new improved trigger and is there any way to determine this? Thanks

Re: Early Deer Season

I believe that this is the 3rd year that NC has allowed x-bow & bow to start at the same time and we can hunt on Sunday on private land.

Re: Question on S5

On my new Equinox the S5 pads are 1" from the junction and the top mark is 1 & 3/8" from the junction. The first or closest mark is 5/8" from the junction which is inside of the S5 pads. I try & keep my brace height at 1 & 1/16" to 1 & 3/16" from the junction...
