Re: Is This Really Archery Hunting?

This is just an Air Rifle....Nothing more/nothing less. A fancy BB gun. NO way in hell this will take the industry by storm :roll: ... This is such an old idea to modify your BB gun to shoot an arrow. If you want to hunt with an air rifle..have fun!!! Lots of guys doing it. Lewis and Clark even car...

Re: Is This Really Archery Hunting?

MHO it doesn't fall under the Acrhery catagory, it has no limbs nor string. So its not a Bow of any type! This is almost right. :D Archery is described/defined as a sport, practice or skill of using a bow to propel arrows. So it takes both the bow and an arrow, not just an arrow. With the accuracy ...

Waxed dental floss on serving

I saw locally that most use waxed dental floss on their serving on crossbows at club....All use compound type crossbows so they feel it saves getting a new string sooner..Is this good idea I do not see it mentioned here?

Re: Serving Wax and Accuracy

I contacted Excalibur and asked If waxing the serving is recommended, they replied " the serving should be waxed about every 40 to 50 shots" . I Personally do NOT wax the serving, and the one time that I met Bill Troubridge in 2006 he told me not to wax the serving either. So I'm not sure...

Excalibur rep when I asked him that question felt the Micro 335 string is as good as Flemish string ..When it wears out I will ask that question if I need flemish string on here...
