Re: Trail Cameras and Bears

This will take your cams well out of nose level. https://www.spyhighmounts.com/ Mounting the cameras higher is the only thing I found that worked. The Spy High system worked great for me last year. You do give up some detection range when you mount them high, so I would only do it if/when necessary...

Well, heavy at the very least.

I'm guessing at some point they lose their ability to climb.

Re: Shim Scope

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...

Re: Shim Scope

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...

Re: The Streak Falters

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...

Re: Xmas - 6 Free Norms Arrows Contest

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...

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...
