Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Is there more emphasis on brace height with matrix bows than there is with older models? When I bought my axiom a little less than 3 years ago I watched the video and followed the instructions and I haven't had any problems, but I remember having a little trouble figuring what "brace height&quo...

I have only crossbow hunted for two years, but I did use boltcutters the first year and killed a doe that dropped within sight. I switched to 150 gr. slick tricks last year because they have one more blade, and thus more cutting surface. I shot a doe with the slick tricks and she ran 150 yards befor...

I was over there a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it! It would be the perfect to visit if they only spoke English.

You should be proud of any turkey with any weapon! They are all trophies. Congratulations!

Bifoot870 makes me feel stupid. I was in a hurry to watch a playoff baseball game after hunting one Oct. evening a couple of years ago, and forgot to remove the broadhead tipped arrow from my crossbow. I was in the garage of our house at the farm and had taken my boots, off when I decided to uncock ...

The only problem with dogs is they break your heart every 10-15 years. I have to have them though. If I had to give up hunting with either people or dogs, the choice would be easy (and I have some good hunting buddies). I hope your Kubota tractor has worked out as well for you as mine has for me. I ...

Here at my home in metro St. Louis it has been a cool but dry July but earlier moisture seems to have sustained the vegetation. I water my tomato plants often and they have produced abundant large tomatoes. We have a farm in northeast MO and our corn crop is the best I have ever seen. There has been...

It looks fantastic! Show us some pictures from the inside when you can.

I don't jump on this forum much but I read it all of the time. I always enjoy Vixenmaster's posts. This fellow Missourian hopes to get the benefit of his wisdom again soon. Get well buddy!

A jake is every bit as much a trophy as an adult gobbler. I've killed 25-30 turkeys, (a few of them were really big) and I have been equally happy with every one of them. A jake is a filled tag and some tasty nutritious meat, -- the culmination of a successful hunt. Congratulations!

I bought a 10' X 12' camo tarp @ Home Depot.com. I then bought a grommet kit and doubled the tarp over and put grommets in it every 15". Finally, I zip tied the grommets to my shooting rail. It conceals everything below it and it blocks the wind. My stand is a 360 degree tripod so you would pro...

I use a 15' tripod stand with a padded seat that rotates 360 degrees and a shooting rail covering all 360 degrees. A camouflage tarp hangs from the shooting rail with an opening at the ladder that I secure with a snap connecter. It's hard to beat comfort and convenience.

I just use plain water for my camo clothing. The agitation gets all of the normal dirt out and I don't really care if blood stains remain. If you're worried about the clothing retaining scent (I doubt that it will) you could add a couple of table spoons of baking soda to the wash cycle.

I'm puzzled by your title. I found the good luck part of it, but where is the bad luck?

Congratulations!

I did the same thing last year but I was in my garage and had already removed my boots in my haste to get inside to watch a baseball game. I drove a boltcutter between two of my toes cutting both toes and the front of my foot. I healed and have learned a lesson the hard way.
