Re: I mounted my Nikon XR Bolt scope

You don't have to, optional to pull up an return to 0. I do from habit. Some of my scoped rifles have this, once sighted in I go to 0 for fast adjustments with different loads. Should work with different bolts. My wife an I both made a killing shot on a calm afternoon at 60 yards using the BDC, bloc...

Re: I mounted my Nikon XR Bolt scope

I had to center the scope on the rail, not much room with short lil scope. But dang that Nikon glass is hard to beat!

Re: I mounted my Nikon XR Bolt scope

I just used some aluminum vertical split rings I had in the safe, think they are leupold rifleman brand. Didn't use the package rings, lowest quality scope rings I have ever seen. Should have sent them back with that defective scope for replacement.

Re: Venison Swiss Steak

Nice! Down here we like to take a whole neck, inject it with some cajun injector sauce, slip in a little garlic, bake covered with chopped onions and a half cup of water low and slow. Fall off the bone.

Re: My Dynaflight center serving didn't last long...

I normally would be in a stand rather than on a computer during deer season, but a strained rotator cuff has my right arm in a sling....we've been hunting hard the last two weeks and now this... I grazed a 14" 8pt, bolt hit a limb and broke in three places, my dyna went down, and so has my shou...

Re: My Dynaflight center serving didn't last long...

Opinions appreciated, closing in on some BEAs from big john custom, 92gr brass, blazers. Dose anyone cut or have cut to 19"? Seems like a lot of bolt in the stirrup. If I stay with 100 to 125gr slicks, is a 92gr insert enough? I don't have the equipment to build my own yet, so I may just trust ...

Re: My Dynaflight center serving didn't last long...

Guess I should have started off my very first post with hello to all! I used to hunt with a Mathews, sold out and didn't bow hunt for two seasons. Rifle hunted till this season. First time I picked up an excal I was in love. Now that I learned to polish the latches, I'm hoping my new or newly served...

Re: My Dynaflight center serving didn't last long...

Thinking about going to another bolt other than the stock bolts. Sounds like Black Eagles are popular, so are gold tips. What yall think?

My Dynaflight center serving didn't last long...

Sighted in and hunted with my Ibex and the stock Dacron string. Picked up a stringing aid and a excal dyna then re-sighted. Liked it a lot, looks, performance, and sound. Double lunged a nice doe a week ago. Then noticed my serving starting to separate, right side hook mark then both marks. I have r...
