Re: Grizzly shooting some hot speeds!

I have the cheek piece and it does help. I also got the Nikon Bolt scope. It's a nice scope but o still have the Dead Zone scope that came with the bow and I like it as well. I read guys buying leupold and Ziess scopes for maybe max a 50 yard shot on game. For what advantage? I have leupold scopes o...

Re: Grizzly shooting some hot speeds!

Apologize it's taken me a while to get back here. Been off the grid for awhile. The unusually high speeds I chronographed and posted with my Grizzly are incorrect. I'm using the Shooting Chrony f-1. Apparently I did not have the chrony op completely flat so the distance between the 2 eyes was shorte...

Re: HELP!!! Why cant i keep a scope on my axiom??

Oh yea, the scope rings supplied by Excal are pretty cheap China made ones. As stated by another member, try different rings. I used lock tite on my screws which helps. The large screws on my excal rings came loose after 20 or so shots. That's when I used lock tite. Been ok for now. Going to by good...

Re: HELP!!! Why cant i keep a scope on my axiom??

Sounds like a puzzle. Seems you've tried it all. Try shooting your bow without a scope sort of iron sites. I had the scope on my Grizzly break so I shot using the visual site of the tip of bolt for windage and sited down the weaver style scope rail on the bow for elevation. Started at 10 yards becau...
