Re: Bolts for Black Bear

Talked with Dave from Wyvern's. He set me up with the 20" executioners. FOC measures of to 19%and is consistent with all 6 with the balance point right on the 0 of the 1,00 marking. Got home too late to send any down range, but I like what I see. With luminoks, they weigh in consistently just s...

Re: Bolts for Black Bear

Bolts for Black Bear

At a bit of a loss with all the options in the market. I'm looking for new bolts to get me into the 425ish weight (Or what you Veteran bear hunters suggest) using a 100gBH. I shoot an Equinox and have only shot 20" bolts from it. If you are an avid black bear hunting your opinion is appreciated...

Finally took the leap

After seeing what my buddy's Excalibur does on black bear I joined the club. Found a local listing on Zbay for an Equinox. Paid less than $350, it is the shadow package with new Easton al bolts. Now my problem. ... the cocking rope broke on my first attempt. I looked the xbow over with great detail,...
