Re: Excalibur Beacon Illuminated Nock

When setting up my bro's arrows for the Strykro, I went with the Beacons. After handling them enough, and now shooting with them plenty, I now know they are what I'll be buying the next time. Biggest reason I'm transitioning to them is the aluminum bushing is a lot better long term for the back of t...

Re: Vixenmaster-is Mike still around?

Mike goes by Blacktail there. Not bent limb.

Posts strings there every now and then: https://www.crossbownation.com/threads/micro-string-8190.135694/#post-1727646

I literally had a conversation with Mike 2 days ago. Reach out to him, if you need his number let me know and I can get it.

Hi all…..anyone know if Mike Vixenmaster is still around?

I tried his phone number and it seems disconnected….

….if he is, does anyone have his contact info?
Pretty sure he moved recently. My most recent communication with him was messaging on crossbownation.

Re: Hunting camera

Tactacam does have a mount to fit a one-inch diameter scope tube, don't they? I don't know if I would use their under the barrel mount option on my rifles unless ya'll show me the error of my ways. I use a one-piece scope mount, so I don't have rails on my rifles. I know they have a mount that will...

Re: Restringing aid slipping.

Thanks all. TBH I didn’t know one needed to tie a knot in the stringing aid after taking the slack out while on the bow. I have been relying on the tension created by the stringing aid being woven into the 3 holes in the end pieces. Where can I order a 4 hole stringing aid? You're not supposed to n...

Re: Are you ready?

Now I'm ready. Got the Wolverine dialed in with field tips. Screwed on a new ToTA standard vented 100gr and sent the first broadhead downrange at a 1/2" dot at 20 yards. I guess they really do shoot like field tips. :lol: https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=DE60831E6602D779%2180861&authk...

Re: Hunting camera

I agree that the Tactacam cameras are pretty good for what they do. They make some higher cost options with higher resolution and frame rate, but the cheapest version they make is good deal. Below are videos taken with a Tactacam Solo Hunter attached to an Excalibur. https://youtu.be/iDmYHWCSeK0?si...

Re: Hunting camera

Here's 3 deer killed by my brother using Tactacam Solo Xtreme on his Micro 355. Gets pretty good quality for a $150 camera.

Re: Restringing aid slipping.

I thought some might be interested to see the various designs. https://i.postimg.cc/KvnC128H/IMG-8702.jpg I’m betting that something can be done to make the OE stringing aid work better (other than a temporary knot). I don’t own one but I’ll check it out when I get my hands on one. I have a standar...

Re: Restringing aid slipping.

I know they slip a little but maybe the cord is routed incorrectly? Also, a too many guys don't know that you install the ends over the limb tips then take out all the slack between the ends. Both mine and my brother's 3-hole excalibur aid slips pretty much every time under micro limb loads, whethe...

Re: Restringing aid slipping.

I've had this happen before. After you set it for length, just tie an additional knot on each tail so that the tail can't be pulled under the parts that are fed through the holes.

Re: Are you ready?

Lack of rain wrecked our early August planted plots. So we'll plant winter rye in this 1st week of Sept. Just took the 2 hunting bows out last couple weeks. They've been shooting great too. Decided to tighten up my riser to rail joint fit too. Not that I had accuracy issues beforehand. Just nice to...

Re: Burris Oracle scope

Guys that have 'em love 'em. Had a guy near me put one on his Twinstrike, was too tall for the factory cheek rest to get solid alignment, so I had a 3D printed one made for him. First go-round with it was nearly perfect, will be working on final version soon. Will be sure to put some pictures of fin...
