Re: Stirrup wraps??

I wrapped mine with paracoard and didn't make a big difference. Then I tried wrapping it all with camo form fabric wrap and it actually made a big difference. 3 pros: -it's elastic which is why it deadens sound. - comes in any camo pattern you want. - it's non adhesive so no mess but sticks to itsel...

Good shop in sothern ontario?

I'm looking for a shop that carries a wider variety of crossbow gear. I've been on the hunt for an arizona ez fletch bolt jig, I have only found it for sale online in the USA. I'd prefer to pick it up in person or at least order from canada. (I have overpaid too many times ordering from the US)

Turkey broadheads

Hey guys, What are the best broadheads you've used for turkey's with an xbow? I like the idea of the Magnus bullheads but I don't know how they would work out of my ibex.

Re: Ibex string tips?

Thanks a lot guys :D I think I'll stick with the excel string for this season, get used to my setup, then I may order a boo string for next year

Also: great to know that Don Katsumi (maker of the boo string) is a resident here in Toronto, might save on delivery!
