I guess I haven't figured out how to post pics yet I'll keep trying. I guess you could copy and paste address into browser.

The bow holders are Allen brand for about $10 and I clamp them right to shooting rail.

I mounted compound bow holders "the kind you would use to transport a compound bow on the front racks of a quad" to my shooting rail of tree stand.
One of them has foam which I'm using in the back for the stock of the xbow and the other I took foam out so the forend will fit better.

Here in PA we only have bait time until one month prior to opening day. so for us that is the 2nd of Sept I think. I've used feed corn. As well as my friends but the problem is that we are attracting bear and I think its keeping some deer away. Still getting deer on our cameras but less then we used...

The xbow is a new Phoenix so its a standard string. I'll mark the rail and keep an eye on it. Thanks for the insight.

Will the string change much? I will be shooting to get more practice but once hunting season starts I doubt I'll shoot very much. Will having the xbow cocked but not shot effect brace height?

Thank you for your help! I just got the stringer in mail so I adjusted brace height to what has been mentioned in the forum and the xbow is shooting great. I sighted the scope in so I'm dead on at 25 yds and that should cover me in my hunting area. If deer are closer, I am an inch higher at 20 and 2...

Applying wax and the do and don'ts

Guys, just wondering, do you apply wax to whole string or just serving and how much is best? Any other tips on this would also be great!

I haven't shot them yet. I thought it best to tune them first. Do people use rubber o-rings to help keep blades and vanes lined up?

How to tune broadheads

How do you tune broadheads? Slick Trick is what I am using. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a co-worker who claims he can tune them but he is a known liar and I'd rather do it myself. Thanks

brace height adjustment

Guys.. I must adjust string to the 1.125 measurment but am I right that I have to twist string? Any thing I should know about that? i.e. which way to twist? Just ordered the stringer aid! NOWAY could I get string off like the dude in the video. He must do that for a living..ha ha

Thanks for the ebay address....I'll get them as soon as I pay off my XBOW...I guess the guy has them all the time? Looks like a good price as well.

where can I get the Fire Bolt arrows that came with my lite stuff package? I'd like to get 6 more and have everything match. The bolts shoot very well. I don't know what other bolts match these in weight etc....Thanks for the imput.
