My condolences. I can't imagine going through anything much worse.

That looks awesome. Great work start to finish. Congrats on a pretty mount.

I lost sight of the speed of the Magair. I’m wondering if he cau use the 40 as his 30? Something like that could work. Ignore the numbers in the scope and treat the circles as if they are 5 yard increments instead of 10. That would make it a 20-60 scope instead of 20-100 which is more reasonable fo...

I think you're running into the primary complaint I have for many of the variable power crossbow scopes on the market. Most of them aren't made for the speeds of our hunting arrows. The Overwatch bottoms out at 300fps, like many others. With a 425gr arrow, I'm guessing your arrow is flying somewhere...

Congrats to your brother. Hammerheads do a number on a deer.

Good luck! I'm pretty much Done deer hunting this season and am glad I filled my tags but miss my tree stand time... :) X 2. I pulled my cameras and recovered four stands the first Saturday in December. I'm living vicariously through those that have good late season opportunities. My hunting area b...

Sometimes life happens. Occasionally things happen that cause hunting to have to take a back seat. My streak has a hole in it for Y2K (2000). It's not that I didn't go. It was my 2nd year in our current house and I was hunting very over-hunted public land near the house. I didn't fire a shot all sea...

Great idea. I don't need the arrows, but have pics I can contribute. These two pics go back to the 2006 season which was my first with a crossbow. I had taken a nice doe and a yearling in the morning hunt with my Exomax. At the time, the county I hunt had a daily limit of two much like the rest of V...

That buck looks heavy. Congrats on the foul weather buck!

Nice buck! Congrats.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Not that any of us need any help parting with our hard earned cash, but if you run across any relevant Black Friday deals feel free to pass them on. Tis the season when you may be able to get away with a purchase or two for next season of a stocking stuffer. I'll start. 25% off of Tooth of the Arrow...

I have become quite patient in my older age it sometimes surprises even me. You've got way more patience than I do. If I'm carrying archery gear, 8 points checks the box. 100" or more of antler (B&C/P&Y scoring) pretty much checks the box too. The only way I pass something that checks ...

That's a big deer. I wouldn't want to have to deal with him alone. Congrats on the bruiser!

What was your bullet and powder weight/ choice? About ten years ago I started using the 250gr Hornady FTX .452 bullet in a Harvester Crushed-Rib sabot over ~100gr of Blackhorn 209. I converted the 100gr volume to weight so I'm running 72.5 grains of powder measured by weight to maximize the consist...
