Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Zeke the arresters I use are the Zwicley Scorpio's and they do not effect the flight in any way. Point of impact stayed the same for me and my dad with his bow. I have not tested the other arresters, but the point of impact should not change much if any. Trouble is with a turkey is that they can run...

Gary... You are starting a museum are'nt you ? :wink: :lol: If I come across anything I will keep you in mind Yep, but keep it low profile for the time... :D :wink: And we all know the FIRST item in the OLD TIME MUSEUM will be when you get there. GaryL will be just inside the door :lol: :lol: :lol:...

Over two years ago I posted this thread to help newcomers into the sport of taking turkeys with archery equipment. Today I think it is worth revisiting because of all the new people on this forum. Since there seems to be a great number of bow hunters that want to bow hunt for turkeys this year I tho...

Buckshot there are many different ways to call turkeys. Sometimes one will work better then another, then the next day, the other will be better. You should always carry more then one call. Different sounding calls, different intensity (quiet or loud) can bring in a hung-up Tom. Different sounds fro...

I have the Bushnell Yardage Pro Legend. It has all the bells and whistles and it floats.............Just in case I fall in the water. :shock: UUUUUmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm A.W. maybe I should go hunting with you. After you fall into the water, I could just pick me up a FLOATING RANGE FINDER :lol: :lol: :lo...

Maritimer I use the bushnel scout. It is a nice comfortable small unit that will range from 11 yards out to over 500. Some units do not range inside of 30 - 40 yards, for bow hunting, these are no good.

Good luck in your search.

Has anyone used these for a turkey setup? I may try the Exocet on turkeys this spring and need some arrow arrestors. I'd consider any arrestor, so if anyone knows where I could get some decent ones it would be appreciated. ecoaster I too am having trouble finding the arresters that I like. There ar...

hey Vince, will the regular spitfire xp's be alright for a 200# exocet?, i've used that head(not xp's) for years with great results, but the fastest i've shot it was 314 f.ps. out of a matthews mq1, do you think it'll open prematurley?? speedball............ :?: :?: Speedball I think that you mean ...

Woody I am not sure of the head your talking about (not having ever used them) but I think that if you make sure that the bands you are using are in new condition, I do not think that you will have trouble becuase they are a quality head. I believe that the few people that have had problems with mec...

wabi, Gary (or anyone who knows) Does the Gateway Feather water-proofing powder work OK? I am not sure of this product but I have used in the past (and still use it) a water-proofing powder and it worked great. I think it was called "Water tite". There was no noticable sent and in the rai...

L W , I agree I know they dont last long in my vert.s , I think mabey the stabilizer route might be a better way to quiet it dow a little For my money I would not buy anything anymore to silience my bow other than the Diss-pads. I use trantulas because I have them already. You will be surprised but...

Check this out! http://www.buckmasters.com/Buckmasters_Links/Features/050209Jewels.html Never heard of this before. My dad's old gang caught oneabout 10 years ago during rifle season, 10 point in full velvet. A further look revealed it was a male with no nuts. Near as they can figure he lost them t...

...... I seen it was go pick up my bow and did realize that I could use a little higher check piece. I hope your happy, you just created another project for me someday that will probably make my wife say "What are you doing now" :evil: :lol: Just kidding. Thanks Pineyriverbuck if you want...

A few years ago I offered my MSN chat site for a chat room on this site. There was some intrest but it did not take-off very well and then just dies a slow death. The offer is still open to members from this site. The main trouble from before was that there was never a set time set up for the chat r...

The noise of the bow (no matter what bow you use) is not really a problem if you keep the distance limitted. What might surprise you is that the arrow will sound louder in flight (espically if you use feather fletch) then the bow. Another thing with noise with a crossbow is that the stock is usually...
