Re: I never unstring my bow and I my limbs seem slightly...

My phoenix has had over 10,000 shots through it, never is unstrung unless changing strings, has been through more hardships than most will ever see and it has the original limbs still on it; I wouldn't worry at all about yours as they look normal to me; many excals here on this forum has many years ...

Re: One limb got a splinter

So sorry to hear about limb; you have NO worries;excal will replace them with no hassle; I highly suggest that anyone buy a set of limbs for their excals, 120.00 from excalibur, so that IF it this does happen you can put on the new set and be back in business in short order; keep us posted

Re: Finally

A super fine trophy of a doe; my question is on the bee-keeper smoke; what did you use? a wood smelling smoke or something else; I am very interested in finding out how this works on scent control; thank you for your time and for posting.

Re: Tamed some of the noise out of the Phoenix

The phoenix model has been my choice for several years; I see the pictures on the spring but I have to ask; how does the shaft of the arrow not miss rubbing up against it? I am very interested in your results and can also see that your accuracy is deadly; I will try your ideals on my phoenix; thank ...

Turned 51 today 11-30 -11

The only reason for the post is to warn all of you "youngins" out there that time DOES pass by pretty darn fast; 51 is not that old and God has truly blessed but the 20's, 30's and even the 40's just flew by;

Some snow on the roof top but still plenty of fire in the chimney......... :shock:
