Re: 60 days until bow season

9/7 in NC. Ditto what Riflemanz said and don't leave home without your Thermacell.

Re: What arrow weight do you prefer?

My 20" BEEs weigh 485 gr with 150 gr Slick Trick Mags & NuFletch Ignitor nocks. https://i.imgur.com/VB1zmkEl.jpg These arrows are accurate and have the same POI as the 150 gr field points at 25/30 yards. https://i.imgur.com/6PqUTuWl.jpg 150 gr Slick Trick Mag BH. https://i.imgur.com/BEZ3THv...

Re: And They SAID DON’T DO THIS!

Equinox at about 25 yards from a picnic table. I never shoot the same bull more than once.

Re: Age/ getting old /cocking a crossbow

Just passed the big 80 & my Equinox is getting a little harder to cock but still doable. Had the widow maker a few years ago which required 4 stents and that has slowed me down somewhat. Hunt from a ladder stand now & call one of my sons or grandsons if I get lucky.

Re: Looking for a Harness

The HSS harness is comfortable with lots of pockets for storing small items. I am north of 80 & fell from a 16' stand because I was too dumb to wear a safety harness. Check out this HSS model. I now stay hooked up anytime my feet are off the ground. https://huntersafetysystem.com/collections/har...

Re: High FOC, high momentum

Could you list your arrow length and balance point as I want to compare to my BEEs for FOC%? Thanks

Re: String suppressors question for Equinox

I thought that the Equinox came standard with the S5 string stops.

Re: Questions for any hunter here in NC

Lee county, I have sat 9 times in a tree stand and only seen tree rats. I believe that it has been very warm but BP opens 10/28 and we are due for some cold weather I hope. I do have trail cam pics but most all of them are night time shots. I did get a pic of the largest bobcat that I have ever seen...

I also had to add a notch for the Nikon Bolt scope.

Re: Looking to update my scope

In my opinion the Nikon Bolt Xr is the best CB scope for the money. It is light, short, accurate, rugged and excellent in low light conditions. Great warranty also.

Re: Sighting In Scope

I have the Nikon Bolt Xr scope which I set for x-hairs POI at 25 yards and I use them for all shots out to 30 yards. I use the 1st circle for shots over 30 yards and don't shoot over 40 yards.

Re: Broadhead targets

18-1, although that BEE has a field point. Remember to pull the arrow straight out when using a BH.
