That is what I was wondering. Might be time to adjust that windage dial a tad. Nice pattern though.

I have an excel string and it's been on my crossbow for 2 months now with around 100 shots fired on it and the string is still above the line towards the trigger. I figured it would stretch/creep down below the line by now. I never did twist it or it would have been even higher. All that matters to ...

It's simple really. If you want to get eaten up by bugs then do not buy or use a Thermacell. I've read hundreds of posts saying people were using one and still had deer come within 10 feet. I for one will never leave home without it.

This must be a regional thing. I've been hunting around 8 years and do not know anyone down here (Georgia) that processes their own deer. They might quarter it and cut chunks of meat off but they do not make their own burger, sausage, or anything like that. Maybe because it's so warm down here we ha...

We've always taken ours to a processor for a couple of reasons. The main one is because we hunt a couple of hours away. Another is while I could butcher the deer, I cannot make sausage, ground burger, or a few other things the processor can do. Around where we hunt we typically pay somewhere between...

Congrats! Nice doe.

I just bought a Casio watch that you input your GMT differential, longitude, and lattitude and it calculates upper, lower, west, and east transit times for any date you want it to. I've read alot of good reviews about it so I'll be putting it to the test.

I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about, but The Claw Crossbow Sling does what you are describing. Here is a link to it: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&partNumber=79576&hvarTarget=search&cmCat=Sea...

Vix, here are the TSC replacement kits I was referring to: http://www.ameristep.com/shop/mesh.html Do these screens (#1822) fit a regular Ameristep Doghouse? Do they allow you to have the window open in its entirety (not just the little window)? That would give a lot better shot opportunity. The re...

Vix, here are the TSC replacement kits I was referring to: http://www.ameristep.com/shop/mesh.html When mine arrived I set it up. The portholes are kind of small and I felt a little too confined in it. Once I added the TSC mesh kit and had the whole window to shoot through it opened it up a bunch. J...

I've got one but have not opened it yet. I mainly got it for rifle season. If I have time later this evening I'll open it and get my Exocet and test it out for you. Vix - I bought a Ameristep Doghouse blind last month. As you may know it comes with very small portholes within the windows that have t...

I use a regular compound case instead of a double gun case. I break it down everytime I am done shooting it and have never had a problem with it affecting POI. Very easy and only takes a couple of seconds to break down or put back together.

Do i have to take the dissipator pads out if im unstringing it without the stringer? I've been told that the only time you really need to take off the dissipator pads is when you plan on leaving the crossbow unstrung for any long period of time. A few hours or even a day shouldnt have that much aff...

Here is a good thread describing the effects having a higher brace height (line furthest from the riser) opposed to having a lower brace height (line closest to the riser):
