S5 vs Dissapator Bars

I'm loving my new Axiom, but money is tight and this thing is loud. If you could only afford one way to quiet your bow, would you choose the S5 string shock sound suppression system or the dissipator bar kit?

Re: lady talking to and charging black bear

She reminds me of Timothy Treadwell. She'll probably end up like him if she's not more careful. The video is foolish and irresponsible. It's worse than what Treadwell did because at least he cautioned people not to try contacting the bears like he did. She's shooting a video and posting it on Youtub...

Never heard of them. Wow, that's a great price! I guess I have to eat the $14.

Re: Need for speed ?

I wish they would make a model with a variable speed setting. If all you have to do is vary the length of pull, from an engineering standpoint, it should be very doable. I guess it might not be profitable to do that though.

Straw poll: Are Illuminated Firebolt Arrows worth the price?

I was just curious as to how many people are actually using the Illuminated Firebolt Arrows and if they're worth the money.

Yea or nay???

Re: Ibex or Axiom?

If you are able to, find a place that has both and hold them. The axiom had a bit of an edge at the top of the wrist that dug into the web between my thumb and index finger. Didn't have this problem with the pistol grip. I have the ibex. I agree the Ibex is more comfortable. Nonetheless, I just ord...

Re: HELP! Exocet 200 w/peep vs Axiom pkg

Well, long story short, the Exocet deal fell through, so I guess I'm buying the Axiom. At $489.00 I can't really go wrong. I also have a sneaking suspicion that, in the next year or two, Excalibur is going to introduce their new limbs across their product line. Maybe I'll upgrade at that point. Unti...

Re: Lighted nock's

Has anyone tried the illuminated firebolts? I see they're more than twice as much as the regular ones. Is it worth it?

[/quote] The 200# limit was removed a couple years ago. [/quote] Interesting, thanks. The article I read was published within the last year and it still sighted the 200 lb limit.

Re: HELP! Exocet 200 w/peep vs Axiom pkg

I appreciate both your feedback. Do you feel it has more to do with the extra 25 lbs, the aluminum frame, or both?

HELP! Exocet 200 w/peep vs Axiom pkg

Hi everyone, I'm new to crossbow hunting and need some help with a buying decision... I have $500 to spend at the moment. I might be able to buy an Exocet with only a peep sight for $430 (and no accessories), or I can buy an Axiom SMF pkg for $489.99 on Amazon (free shipping) or Walmart. I have a Le...
