Thanks Don,

This calculator is very helpful. The longer shaft reduces FOC but only by a very small amount. The weight of the front insert and broadhead are what influence the FOC to a very high degree.

If all arrow components are identical and the only difference is the length of the shaft will a longer shaft produce a higher FOC or a lower FOC?

Don,

Are you using the loner arrow for flight stability and accuracy or mostly for the additional weight?

And I would add that they should change the parallax setting from 75 yards to 40 yards

Carnivorous,

I agree 100% with your feedback to Vortex

I too have been looking to see what is available for crossbow scope upgrades and was surprised to see how little is available. The Vortex Crossfire II looks interesting but the reticle seems a bit busy for me and I like plain and simple for reticles. Also it is an illuminated reticle which in itself...

Very sorry to hear this story. It must have been very disheartening to have this happen on your moose hunt. I had a limb fracture on my Bulldog 440 while in my tree stand last week and I hiked back to my truck very depressed. It's difficult to hunt when you loose confidence in your equipment.

You certainly made the wise decision. Health and safety should always be the number 1 priority.

Excalibur replaced the first set of limbs super fast for me so I hope they can do the same this second time around. The issue now is that my confidence in my equipment is shaken and it's challenging to hunt with that frame of mind.

I would like to see the Matrix 355 and the Matrix 380 come back. Both were great bows and the 355 was bullet proof when it came to reliability.

Hi UPSMAN,

I have the brand new Tact-100 scope that came with my Bulldog 440. It's brand new and I have never opened the box. If you would like it just send me a PM with your address and I will ship it to you.

Has anybody had any issues regarding the durability of the Bulldog 440 limbs? I have had two limbs split on me over the last 4 weeks and am looking for advise as to how I can prevent this from happening? I keep the brace height at 1.750 with the string .250 off the bumpers and never dry fire the bow...

xcaliber, I have a package of the 100's that I will test this weekend. When assembling them there is the main ring that goes on after you load the blades and then there is the 'O' ring. After the 'O' ring there is a nother very thin ring with a large bevel on it which seems optional. Do you know wha...

xcaliber,

I am checking out the 85 grain Thunderheads as they have a nice short profile which looks to be very aerodynamic. I am thinking with a 110 grain front insert they may fly real nice. Have you ever tried this combination?

Thanks for the feedback!
