Clevelandblackoxide.com i've never had them anodize a rail, but we send components from our machine shop there to get various coatings and they do decent work.

Re: stirrup

The sturip comes in handy while hunting out of my ground blind, I rest my bow between my legs with the stirrup down, without it the Brodhead will be sticking in the dirt.

The good thing about being in the Home Depot when the urge hit is they have those orange 5 gallon buckets strategically placed throughout the store :lol: Imagine the look on the clerks face if he turn the corner and saw you in the aisle squatted over one of those buckets.

Re: Scope experts needed

I am not a scope expert, but I've hunted with a crossbow with nothing but red dots or one pin sights from 1989 to 2010. if you go with the red dot get one with a small 3 Moa dot. A 5-6 moa can be the size of a dinner plate @ 40 yds. Jefro
