Summit Viper is my go to climber and the one I've had the most success with.

Hey guys, My butcher just jacked up the price on me and I'm starting to think I might do it myself from here on out. That being said I don't have meat grinder right now or anything else I might need and don't know anything about them. Anyone an opinion on a good one or other essential equipment ? Ev...

When I first started I used Bolt Cutters because they were recommended and did have some success. I switched to mechanical broadheads because I liked the fact they give you a little wiggle room if your shot isn't perfect. I use the NAP FOC broadheads and I'm 3 for 3 with them now. Never hunted with ...

I have a 405 for two years and have had no issues. I use the standard Diablo bolts and a NAP FOC (170 Grain) head.

Found a list of the fastest crossbows in 2015. Excalibur 405 is the most reliable for sure, but does anyone have any to add?

I'd second the brass inserts on a 100 grain. You want to optimize your front of centre. With the Diablos I normally go with 150/170 grain broadhead.

Either will do the job. I have a 405, and it's shooting 380 through a Chrony, with standard Diablos and a NAP FOC which is 170 grains. I've only taken one shot at a deer and I dropped her pretty quick. For the little extra weight/length I'd go for the 405.

It's legal in Ontario, but only for Carp.

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has tried on this crossbow fishing kit on a Matrix. It's legal for carp in Ontario and looks like fun. Thought I could rig it up to my 405

Anyone ever try a Killer Instinct compound. I'm a big recurve fan but I saw this thing on a website and wouldn't mind hearing some first hand feedback.
Comes with a TriggerTech too.

Mine 405 shoots around 380 with a 170 FOC practice tip. I cannot recall exactly but I think I gained around 5 fps when I switched to the 150 grain tip.

I just switched from Xbow Slick Tricks to the F.O.C.s and don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. The Slick Tricks are a great broadhead but let me tell you these things do some serious damage.

405 + FOC + RangeFinder / Luck = Deer Hunting Success

Actually I would say all the stuff pre season is the most important. Scouting, trimming lanes, practicing range & angles, and more scouting.

I use WD-40 which works great. It does have a bit of smell but I don't find it's to bad. Just have to be vigilant about drying it out.
