Re: Fixed Blade Search

I just purchased some VPA vented 100s but haven't had a chance to let them fly due to all the white stuff... I will say they appear to be of good quality although a little pricey. This talk of warranty on another forum led me to the purchase but I was supprised to see there is no mention of any war...

Re: Fixed Blade Search

I really enjoy the VPA's best broad head available IMHO. I shoot them on my recurve, compound and 380 matrix. I have the 100 &125 terminators. The 175 grain custom shop terminators and 150 gr penetrators all non vented and my wife has the 100 gr vented terminators. Steel is a 1000x better than G...

Re: 405

Going off the excalibur specs shooting a 350 grain arrow in both and both xbows were shooting advertised speeds M380+350gr@380fps=112ft lbs, and M405+350gr@405fps=127ft lbs

Re: need a new target

The Block has treated me well. Not sure what would be considered easy to pull though. Stopping means friction

I once took the top off a beer bottle with my teeth. I won't do that again!

Re: Test string

Yeah I think that's a great idea. The string I'm running only has about 2-3" of exposed string and at that point I wondered why the maker didn't just serve the last couple inches

Re: Breaking the 400 FPS Barrier

The 405 has been called "the bow that doesn't exist" since last spring. :mrgreen: They should name this top secret Xbow the Spirit after the B2 Spirit bomber that didn't exist during its development. I would love this model. I feel I could comfortably cock a Xbow with an additional 75lb d...

That's what I'm saying. I'm not complaining. I've got more testing to do tonight with some other equipment that I know what the fps is. I've seen crony's report slower speeds but I've never seen one report a higher speed

Could it be possible?

I finally ran my 380 matrix over the crony last night. I tested 20 shots. Does this seem correct or even possible, or did I just get a good one? I'm shooting a 404 grain arrow through my matrix with a vapor trail string with string leeches for steady 371 fps with my crony 6 ft away. At that speed a ...

Re: Busted by a noisy chair

I've got a fix for you. Even a new chair will begin to squeak eventually. Oil and spay type lubricants only work temporarily and have an odor that hunters don't like. Go to a hobby shop and get a tube of powdered graphite, walmat may even sell it. Usually comes in a small squeeze tube. Comes out lik...

Woo hoo trigger tech on its way

I'm so psyched. I ordered the 2 stage hunter model this morning. Wyvern has both the single and the two stage in stock. I've always loved 2 stages so I pulled the trigger

Re: FX Airguns has a new airgun that shoots crossbow arrows

I've seen that before over on the yellow forum. Supposedly pretty powerful. Also duals as a pellet rifle. Add in a 2 stage hand pump and you've got quite the Teotwawki rifle I agree with ya the price tag is kinda smart if ya know what I mean along with the Daystate 303 rifle price I guess a person ...
