Re: Rage 3 Blade Chisel Tip or NAP DoubleCross

My broadhead of choice is NAP Spitfire MAX. I have shot many of Deer and a Bear with them. I used them in my compound and my Vortex. I since picked up a Micro 335 and took one of my biggest Bucks. Never had one open over the years. They are one awesome broadhead. Good luck with your choice

Re: Zombie Tough

I agree also with the other guys to put in the do not shoot bin. I use these arrows in the garden to prop up plants. One thing I do check all my carbon arrows at 3D shoots or when they hit another arrow is run a cotton ball up and down the shaft if it catches you no you have a damage shaft.

Re: OT: Why do you kill deer?

I enjoy the entire part of scouting, stand placement and harvesting (killing) of the Deer. Now that older I'm trying to get th...

Re: Broad Heads Decisions Bear Hunt

I shot my first Bear with a Vortex and my broadhead that I used was a Spitfire Max 125 grain and the arrows were the stock Firebolts. The Bear went about 35 yards. It's all about shot placement and your confidence. The both set ups you mentioned will get the job done. Hey can not wait to see the pic...

The hunt was filmed by Main Frame Media. Joe did an excellent job and a Kyle was a awesome caller. We set up twice and the thi...

Re: Question about crossbows

To answer your question I would go to a pro shop that you and your son could shoot the crossbow. This is a not something to play around with if you are not knowledgeable about the crossbow and to set up a target in your back yard I would wait till you have learned the crossbow. I would just shoot at...

Re: Spring hunting & black flies

I have used Thermacell with great results while hunting in Canada. I also heard good things about Sawyers for spraying on your clothes. One other product is the Cabelas Skinz under garments that you were under your regular hunting outfit. I have a couple of hunting buddies that use this product.

Re: Why does most justify a crossbow with an injury??

Well I first seen my first Excal in Canada many years ago on a fishing trip. I looked at it and had in my hands. I thought it was pretty neat and said to myself I would never own because it was to easy. So for many years later I still was shooting my compound. As time went on and my age started to c...
