Re: Mechanical Broadhead Results for the 2016 Season
I got a decent sized 8 point whitetail shot with a 380 matrix with a 125g plain Jane Grim reaper 1-1/2 inch 3 blade. I shot it right in front of the left shoulder as it was quartered towards me. Full pass through right behind the ribs on right side. Took out both lungs. Decent blood trail. But only ...

Re: 380 lynx limbs
Mine shoots great. After I learned to shoot a crossbow. Dont ask, it was me thinking I was shooting a target rifle...lol but I took my first buck this year with that crossbow, and at 30 yards I hit exactly where I aimed. He only made it 30 yards. Plus where I hunt, you never know if it's gonna be sn...

Re: Grim Reaper Fatal Steel
I had great luck with just the Normal GR 125g broad head. They shot just like my field points and I took a big buck with them. He only made it 50 yards and was down. Double lung shot. And it was actually a stupid shot to take. First year hunting with a crossbow and my nerves got the best of me. I to...

Re: buy from amazon
I've found amazing deals from Amazon. Plus if you do get some junk you can send it back if you buy straight from Amazon. I picked up a Vortex PST scope for 200$ under retail last year. And actually, they have an HHA OPTIMIZER with the scope for 300$ some yesterday. Best way I've found is anything yo...

Selling a Crossbow from Canada to the US.
Just would like to know if this is a safe thing to do, pros, cons. What to watch for etc. Can't seem to find anything on this for personal sales. Thanks.

Re: Evercalm
Good to hear. Bought some lil while back.

So it's made to simulate a deer bed. So ya i...

Re: Scentlok ozone thingy?
I've got a small plug in ozone generator and it does work great a killing smells. I use it in my truck, leave it plugged in over night and in the morning it smells great. The science is proven that ozone does kill scent. Whether paying 600$ for an ozonics is worth it. Idk. I do know some archers tha...

Re: trigger problems
Well any things possible, but I always double check that the safety is on AND the bolt is seated right. But say that's what happened would it mess my trigger up?

trigger problems
Ok, out shooting a few days ago. Was shooting bang on. Then I took a shoot and the arrow hit the target, actually was right on. But the shot seemed louder and the arrow tail was at about 30 degrees of. Kinda sideways to the left. And my serving on the right side had a chunk ripped out. Not a huge ch...

Re: crossbow used to kill three in Toronto
Oh fabulous... CBC should have been dismantled. They are a mouth piece that Loves to bash everything non liberal. Now they'll add Crossbows to the list of things they want to get rid of... By the time we get these twits out of office we will be lucky to be able to own BB guns....

Re: Getting Bad Accuracy
Ya one thing I have learnt, is stick to a good maintenance regime. Listen to these guys and it's probably something small like a couple lose screws. Once I got a more thorough understanding of how these bows work. It's pretty easy to tell where an accuracy problem is coming from. Mine is shooting cr...

Easy pickings for my Savage TR in 308. First season with a crossbow so nothing yet. But While scouting I ran into a few does who would j...

Re: Good Canadian online store for broadheads.
Ya I ordered a pack of Ramcats off Amazon. For 45$ can. When the got here the tips on some of the blades where missing. Blades where dull as hell. Went back to look at the reviews and one guy said they where knock offs and not to order. Plus they where off on weight by around 8 grains. Over and unde...

Good Canadian online store for broadheads.
I bought some broadheads off of Amazon and they turned out to be knock offs. Checked out Cabelas's and WSS and the selection is pretty limited. Also locally the selection is worse. Looking for an online Canadian store I that has a good selection of crossbow broadheads. Also, how is using normal bow ...
