How old is Dan miller?

I have a grizzly cub and I get different opinions on whether or not to wax, some say yes and others no. Just looking for others opinions, and who wax do you use and anyone use rail lube?

I just picked up a stringer from miller and its heavy duty looking. Got a new string from vixen and will be working t it tomorrow.

Had my first encounter with him the other day and he wasn't terrible like I have read but he wasn't real talkative kind of short. Forgot to order a couple things so I will see how my next encounter goes, I hope I catch him in a good mood cause I have some questions, I'll report back.

If you look at bestcrossbowsource they have a chart that states shooting 305fps, at fifty yards has 72/73 ft lbs of KE. Which is plenty for any NA game. Now, does that mean you'll get a deer to stand still for the shot? who knows, but, it will certainly kill at the range.

Is that critical to have a helical on these bolts?

I have used gorilla glue and it definitely works.

Not the true glo it's a barska three dot.

Looking to hear reviews of the three dot scope that comes from Excalibur. Are they good , bad, should I change it out? with only three dots what do you guys sight in for? thanks.

Thanks for the info Boo, appreciate to.

Well being a trad shooter I have feathers laying around, however, they are five inch. Cut down to three inch? Or leave full? As far as foc, I'll be using 150 heads and might even walk that up towards 200. I have some Strickland single bevel heads that i used last year for a shot, flew well.

Thanks Boo. What would be the best fletch for 2219's? 2 in blazer or 3/4 inch?

Gotcha, thanks.

Is there a problem with the regular screws? is just to decrease weight? looked for them on the site and didn't see theme listed?

Ok, wondering what you arrow smiths think of 4 & 5 inch fletch on hunting arrows. Going to use a 16 to 17 inch arrow.
