Re: Adjust the brace height matrix Excalibur 38

The string on your M380 will stretch some when you first get your CB. One of the advantages of an Excalibur is that you can make this adjustment yourself and not have to take the CB to a bow shop and pay them to do it. Use a stringing aid and put CCW twists into either end of your string to shorten ...

Re: Treestand safety line

You can make your tree stand lifeline and I suggest that you use 5/8" rope with a short bowline loop in the top end. Put the loop around the tree and run the other end through the loop twice and then tie the end off at the bottom rung of the ladder and/or the tree. Use 1/2" rope for the Pr...

Re: matrix 355 string replacement

You may want to refer your "dealer" to this site as it is clear that he/she does not have a lot of knowledge about Excalibur CBs and you may save some other folks some grief. I believe that you can do a search for brace height & find many posts on the subject. As far as string twists i...

Re: New Ibex SMF. Stripped tapped hole in the stock assembly

I had a similar problem with my Equinox & drilled/tapped for a larger screw. The Equinox rail is different material but same problem although it was my fault.

Re: Equinox on ebay

I have purchased 2 CBs from Pine Mountain Archery and they are good folks as far as I am concerned. Quick service with products as advertised. The special Equinox build was not just for them as others have offered this product on Ebay. I believe it is a bare bones CB with a non-camo rail.

Re: Deer and Feeders...??

Two weeks ago I had about 300 pictures during a 7 day period while last week I had over 3700. Several nice shooter bucks are now coming to the feeder as the temp cooled somewhat. That is a Redneck gravity feeder in the pic.

Re: need scope expert

This article gives a very good explanation of how to focus your scope but I believe you are having problems with the far object being out of focus when you turn up the magnification. This would be a defective scope and needs to be replaced in my opinion.
