Excalibur Crossbow Forum

shoot!!!! and just when i was going to put my two cents in he had to go and find the dang knife..... glad you did. but any way i don't normally field dress in the woods because am usually close enough to vehicle not to have to drag long distace. i use a good fixed blade for the outside work(skinning...

thanks to everyone for info. glad to see someone else finds the burt coyote site difficult to get wt. specs off of. figured they were at least close enoough that i would be above min. weight for my xbow, and judging by info from ya'll i can now site in and go find some fur. thanks again i just want ...

saw on another post something about tying mechanical blades closed with dental floss to keep them from opening to save the blades. wondering if anyone has tried this and shot into a bag target so would have easy arrow removal. if no one has tried this i will one day this week and report back.

thanks sumner4991. after posting realized that you shot this bolt so figured you would have the answer. at this point all these numbers are giving me a headache so am going to put broadhead on and if they shoot well and accurate I AM GOING HUNTING. will shoot this setup: easton power bolt,luminok en...

oh yeah. actually got the vortex for my son to get him into bowhunting. typical today spam, no time for practice with compounds, so we go out the other day and he shoots 2 bolts into the bull at twenty free hand turns and says thats good i can kill a deer with that, and heads back into the house. bu...

anyone have confirmation on specs for this bolt in 20 inch. ordered set from luminok (burt coyote) and am assuming that they are 319gr. as advertised, however when i look it up on easton website i can't get close to that weight unless something is missing off their specs. i did not see any fletching...

surprisingly no one mentioned using gps unit,just waypoint each stand location and when ready to return to that stand, call up that waypoint and do a "go to" trust the unit and follow the direction indicator. when unit says arriving at destination you can reach out and touch the blind or t...

thanks comfybear, told you i was a dummy....looked all over the page except at top...guess you should start at top and work down.

decided to at least give the vortex head a try. they should be here any day now. season opens 1 oct. hoe to have field test report by end of that weekend, either on pork or venison, with venison preferred.

just read a post about researching topics on the forum to get info that has already been discussed without repetitive threads. not super computer literate so if someone could explain how to search a topic in this forum i sure would appreciate it and might save me from asking some questions that have...

for those who use the belt or strap type safety rigs a tip is to wear it up under your armpits so that if you fall it is not tightening on or below the ribcage. it is not in the way in that position either.

i too tried the walker game ear 2 several years ago. mainly for turkey hunting. had same problem with telling what direction the sound came from. a little tip i learned was to shift the plastic piece to the top of the ear so that the mic in the front of the plastic body is pointed forward instead of...

bought the hss vest last year for myself and my son very user friendly. had cardiac event in june so added the hss lifeline so won't fall and break my neck haha(also keeps son and wife off my case) but seriously hss is excellent vest.

new to crossbow hunting. shoot thunderhead 125 in my compound but looking for mechanical from my vortex. looking at great reviews from cabelas site on the 125 gr. vortex head. i know this is one of the older mechanicals on the market so was wondering if anyone has any experience with this broadhead.

not sure whether was bss or another supplier but i priced a package of broadheads the other day and shipping on one blister pack was 9.00. did not take me long to vacate that site. i too will not even look at the bss site from now on.
