Re: Excalibur scopes

I bought another crossbow that has a Tact-Zone scope. It didn't get here yet. I have a Nikon Bolt on my Axiom and a spare Leupold Crossbones that I recently bought. I think the Tact-Zone is 30mm but the Leupold is 1". I don't care about illumination, I never needed it with the Nikon. If I can't...

Excalibur scopes

Can someone discuss the difference between the Excalibur scopes, please? I read the specs for each but that didn't give me a real world idea of whether one is better than the others for clearness (I can't think of the right word) and strength to last a long time. Especially if you have more than one...

Re: Camera on Matrix

Most of these little cameras have a wide view and stuff looks far. You use editing software to zoom, crop and create the video so it is zoomed as much as you want.

Can I use longer bolts?

Is it ok to use 20” bolts in a Matrix or 18” bolts in a micro?

Is there an advantage to longer v. shorter?

We have enough money for another bow but not enough for a lot of bolts or accessories so I’m wondering if we can multi purpose what we have.

Thanks

Re: Camera on Matrix

Go Pro makes a bow/gun/bike mount specifically for this purpose. You can put it on the scope tube. It is basically a waterproof case with a mounting adapter and hardware. You can put different cameras in it, not just Go Pro brand.

Re: TRYING HEAVIER BOLTS

For my Axiom, I use BEZS's with the 110 grain insert and a 150 grain head. These are 20". They weigh 470 grains and they are extremely accurate and quiet. The weight is FOC.

Hybrid?

Can you put Matrix limbs on a Micro stock or the reverse? I see some XB's for sale that say they are a combo. Are they legit? What are the pros and cons of such a contraption?

Re: Any bear hunters? What's your favorite...

I'm 12 and a half, but my Dad took me hunting on his back when I wore diapers. I shot my first rabbit and turkey when I was 3 years old with a 410 double barrel. I shot my first deer the day before I turned 8. I have hunted and taken deer, hogs, Ibex, Bison, three different rams, muntjac, mountain g...

Any bear hunters? What's your favorite...

I'm going bear hunting at the end of May. My Dad's friend says that we should be able to see the bears on the camera before we go and know which one to wait for. If we wait for a good one it should be near 300 pounds according to him. Does anyone have a favorite XBow, bolt, scope or broadhead specif...

Re: Axiom value

If it has the scope, quiver and 4 bolts, and cocking rope I see them around here for just $225-$275. If it has a replacement scope that is very good it brings more. I have one with a Nikon Bolt. Right now the scope is worth as much as the bow without it. It seems a lot of people are "upgrading&...

My Mom won't eat a whitetail deer but likes black bear meat. I like it better than deer but not as much as an elk or antelope.

Re: Matrix 380 $849 right now

Pine Mountain Archery in W. Va sells the Matrix 380 Lite Stuff Package for $679 with free shipping within US. They have these all day every day. That's still too much for me, but that's the best price for a new M380 package that I've seen.

Matrix questions

I see some with black rails, some with grey and some Camo. Is there a difference? A couple are described as pre-Bowtech. Is that a big deal? Most I’ve been reading about are 380’s but these differences might apply to other Matrix models. Oh yeah there’s a white one too.
