Re: Old Exocet
Around 2001 was when excalibur switched to mag tip limbs and flat milled riser on the Exocet. I love my stock exocet 165. It is one of the last ones from 99 or 00.

Re: Been a long time since I have posted ...
Glad airguns aren't legal in Ohio (for deer), that would be another expensive method I'd have to try. :lol: :lol: I'm with you on not being too excited about the newer models. I prefer the traditional stock design with where the safety is located on the Excalibur crossbows. Yeah the saftey placemen...

Re: Been a long time since I have posted ...
Hey welcome back, MI Yeti . I have just returned to the forum myself after being away for a couple years. Congrats on your Button. I have yet to even see a deer so far, let alone harvest one :shock: . I've only been out a couple of times, though. But the season's not over yet 8) . I'm curious, what...

Re: Arrow and Bow combinations of forum members
late 90s Excalibur exocet 165 . 20" Gold tip laser IIs, 4" vanes, brass inserts, aluminum nocks, 125gr muzzy three blade . I have been wanting to go to 100gr broad heads but the cost and the fact these shoot very well have kept me from doing it .

Re: a nice doe taken with my .50 airgun
Gotta ask -- what is the sound like and how loud? The sound is a bit hard to describe, like a non shrouded small bore pcp just louder and deeper . The sound dose not travel very far, some one 150-200 yards away would not hear it well enough to know what it was . It's loud enough that you should wea...

Re: Determinig draw weight on an exocet
Exocet 165 has carved tip limbs and straight cast riser . exocet 175 has milled straight riser and mag tip limbs . exocet 200 has milled forward riser and mag tip limbs . As long as I'm remembering right, for sure my exocet 165 is that way

Re: a nice doe taken with my .50 airgun
I wonder how they would do usin a .50 cal sabot n bullet From what I've heard it will foul the barrel with plastic quickly and not offer any advantage over a cast bullet or round ball . I've not tried it myself though . Cleaning it would be difficult as you can't use anything that would damage the ...

Re: a nice doe taken with my .50 airgun
impressive gun, groups, how heavy are the balls and what kind of velocity do you get ? How about charging it how is that done ? Sorry for all the questions but this is a kind of new area for me the large bore air guns. The round balls from my .500 Lee mold are 188gr . Velocity is in the low 700s pr...

Re: a nice doe taken with my .50 airgun
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! What kind of accuracy do you get with the round ball? At 25 yards 3 shots go into a big hole or a nice cover leaf depending how I'm shooting that day . At 50 yards about 1.5" ctc but it is capable of better . It has a very heavy "lawyer" trigger , it woul...

a nice doe taken with my .50 airgun
Bagged a nice doe after a rough morning on the 16th with my sam yang dragon claw .50 pcp airgun( .35 and larger pcp airguns are legal for deer in MI ) . It was an extremely foggy day . Ended up having to pull over at a gas station and wait for the sun to come up before continuing . It was about 9- 9...

Re: Archery season was too warm here in MI
The weather has cooled off and its even snowing today . To bad I'm stuck at home . I can't afford to work on my truck until next month . It was in the low 40s on the morning of the 16th when I killed my doe and it was still in the mid 40s by the time I had her at the butcher . I sadly don't have any...

Archery season was too warm here in MI
The archery season was for the most part too warm here in Michigan this year . The one time I went it ended up in the 80s :lol: . It has cooled off some but still a bit warmer than i'd like in the afternoon . Did take a nice doe with my .50 airgun yesterday morning after getting stuck at a gas stati...
