Re: 380/405 ????

So--- if .8" equals 25 fps between the two bows one could assume that each .1" of increased power stroke equals 3 fps in simplistic terms ---and --- if one was to shim the bow off the rail a random length of say .4"--- again of 12 fps could be achieved ?? ---- and a 380 would become a...

380/405 --- increasing the hp ??

Think I read somewhere that the limbs are the same on these two bows and that the additional horsepower is created via a longer power stroke (.8") --- which is assumedly simply a longer frame/stock??

Re: Tree stand scare

I have over 2 dozen hanging style stands that we used screw in type steps for -- they are now stored in the storage shed and for sale ---- replaced with a few ladder stands and very happy with that change. Small wonder I did not do serious damage to my body over the years hanging those stands --- ha...

Re: Stirrup Dampening???

I did. Honestly I couldn't tell much difference in a before-and-after comparison using only a rubber gasket, but wrapping the stirrup itself makes a much more noticeable difference. So I ended up doing both... wrapped the stirrup and used a gasket between the stirrup and the rail. What did u wrap i...

HHA Optimixer --- how do it work and other ?s

OK ---made it through my first season with the M380 -- managed to harvest a very nice buck so all is good in that department. This was my first season with a horizontal shaft slinger. I have been a long time vertical bow hunter but have now taken up the crossbow partially cause I just wanted to do s...

Re: Crossbow fasteners-keeping them from oxidation

Does anyone have a "fasteners list" already made up for the different bows? I'd like to upgrade as well. Stainless at least and maybe some torx. Packets of stainless/torx fasteners for specific bows would be great. I'd like to place an order! I would be all over that! -- even a good list ...
