Re: Hunting trip ruined because of shattered limb...

I doubt that the string broke because it was a brand new string. I put a new one on right before the hunting trip and took maybe 5 shots with it to make sure my scope was still well adjusted. My buddy is still up there at the camp and was going to keep an eye out to try and find it. I hope he does.

After 4 days (out of 10) I was sitting in a stand with the crossbow cocked and an arrow loaded just waiting. All of a sudden I hear this loud whack and the crossbow fl...

That way I don't wreck any.

Hey Dereck,

What is that target made of? By the looks of it I assume you built it yourself?

Thanks

Re: New knife.

Nice work!

Just curious, do you only make them for yourself for fun or do you sell some of those?

Re: Max distance you would try a shot for moose?

Yeah that will be awesome. I do hope we get a Bull but who knows... I know for sure though that we will get a Cow tag for sure because we are a group. I hope we can call them too but I know they don't respond to that as much as a bull would...

What if you set your cross hair to be 30 yards? Would the chevrons change accordingly? Top 20 yards Cross ha...

Re: Max distance you would try a shot for moose?

That lighted nocks trick sounds like a pretty good idea. I didn't think they made any for crossbow arrows but i`ll look into right now. I was planning on getting a florescent orange wrap though or something similar.
