Re: Equinox arrow speed help... please??

the total weight is 390gr... the broadhead is 125gr. and the firebolt is 265 grs. according to the Accessories Excalibur web site. :? Your would be 40gr above recommended which translates into roughly a 8 fps loss, My guess is right at 342 fps with 101ke. http://www.huntamerica.com/phpforums/viewto...

Granted they shot not from Crossbows and what we hunt is not ballistic gel or plywood, but the results are still interesting to myself. But I al...

Re: Swacker broad head with Excalibur 380?

after reading some of the concerns here and elsewhere about swhackers destroying xbow arrow shafts, I became leary (search the forum for "swhacker" if you want to see the discussions). Then I shot one of mine, and while it did not destroy the shaft, it left a mark where the blade did hit ...

GT Laser IV's weigh 13.9 gr per inch. I shoot 20" GT Laser IV with 92gr brass upfront, Lumenok on the back, Blazers and a 125 gr head. Brings me to right at 542gr.

Hill country, rugged, not a lot of farm ground of which is scattered in the hill, wooded country. I have only 2 neighbors within 1/4 mile of me and afte...

You are one of three people whom I've heard (or read) use the term "hill jack", with me being on that list too!!! I had to chuckle to myself at that! :lol: Believe me, here in Arkansas we have an over abundance of rednecks AND hill jacks. That and just being too easy and not thrilling eno...

Re: 10 Days no See a Deer

Not admitting to anything either, but a paintball gun loaded with a marble(s) will shoot clean thru a car door, marbles don't trace and paintball guns are no more noisy than a crossbow. Jus' sayin'... :wink:

Re: Scent free laundry detergent

I use Arm n Hammer Scent Free primarily because of the baking soda in it. If I cannot find it I use All Free n Clear. Works fine. I air dry them though on a line under some oak trees I have in my back yard. And just plain ol' Ivory bar soap, about as free and clear of any smell ya' can get.
