I had the same problem with a Varizone and Danny allowed me to trade it in on a Leupold. After 3 scope failures in as many years (they were not all Excalibur) the switch to Leupold ended my scope problems!

Boo . . .my string is riding the rail pretty hard . . .I have even considered lifting it a tad, but, since my servings seem to be wearing evenly, I decided to leave it alone. Like I said . . .I've tried to blame the partial on just about everything. I do believe a lot of it was due to the thin strin...

Good pictures. Most lost deer are hit a little too high. . .at least mine were hit a little too high.

Keep it low.

I like that area in the middle of the lungs where all the arteries are located. Something is getting cut!

The definition of ethical changes with experience and skill level. I know a guy that shouldn't be allowed to shoot at a deer broadside at 20 yards. And I've known some that could shoot a quail out of the air with their long bows. I've taken a lot of shots that would be considered unethical to some, ...

I did recover the arrows . . .no issue with that, they fell about 2 feet short of the bag at 25 yards, just had to move a few leaves. There was some slight vane damage(not ripped off) . . .I figured the string was going under the arrow after it passed the retainer, thus pushing the back end up and f...

Those of you who have had problems with plastic, what string were u using ?? I noticed the issue when testing a string that was thinner than my normal string . . .however, it still happened with my normal string. I would think that there is less and less of a chance of a partial dry-fire as you thi...

I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but, I've had no more issues after throwing away the plastic nocks.

I liked the plastic nocks for a number of reasons.

I even talked to the manufacturer about making the ends with a grid pattern or something . . .no luck with that.

I've stopped using them. I had an issue with them being too slick or something.

Anyway, I was experiencing partial dry-fires . . .I tried to blame it on a lot of things, but, it stopped happening after I took the plastic nocks off.

Very well done!!

Did you use a range finder on the yardages?

I've known others that have the stirrup system in a tree. They hook the stirrup above them and pull down to cock it . . .I've just heard them talk about it, never tried it or saw it . . .so be careful. They do claim it's really easy because they use their entire weight to pull. But, if it slips(fail...

I did that with a 30.06 once . . .the deer was running away from me after I had already broken it's leg and I was stalking it . . .I shot and it fell. I found a 1" piece of bone lying on the ground as I was getting ready to field dress it. The exit wound was along the neck, but, I was unable to...
