My arrows are BE Zombies with 150 grain fixed blade broadheads total arrow weight around 440 grains, FOC of 23. I don't have a chronograph but when I had the Tactzone on the bow it was sitting @ 320 with the 4...

Re: Boofest prizes

I was wondering how much interested there would be in a friendly dart competition at this years Boofest? http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af51/Czy_Horse/20160827_0922551.jpg My initial thought is something fast and set up for all to participate. So how's a game of 201 sound? -one ticket per bow to...

Re: EXCAL NEW EX SHOX

Caps Lock is freaking rude, I'll up your yelling and scream back at you!

I DID NOT PUT THEM BACK ON MY SUPPRESSOR AFTER I CHANGED OUT THE FACTORY STRING FOR A FLEMISH. I COULD NOT GET THEM PLACED WHERE I WANTED ON A FLEMISH STRING.

Re: Spring hunting & black flies

The OFAH was a good idea for getting a thermacell. I know a thermacell works real well on mosquitoes, but how well does it work on blackflies? Anyone suggest some head gear? I used to have a mesh 'bug suit' that worked real good wore a ball cap under to keep mesh off my face, but I cannot find a sim...

Re: Do you worry about leaving your recurve cocked for exten

This is a link to an Excalibur advertisement on the subject. http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/videos/player/494 I personally will leave any of one my bows for 3 or 4 days cocked to stretch out a new string. I've started doing this almost 30 years ago with my Wolverine. If I was going to do a round o...

Re: Excalibur's core four

I try to get the Wolverine out a couple of times a year. It's more fun doing rounds of 3D targets, being easier to cock and easier to remove the arrows from target. http://i993.photobucket.com/albums/af51/Czy_Horse/Online%20Pics/DSCN0582.jpg Bow was bought new in Sept. 1987.

Re: HELP IN DECISION OF XBOW

If you are considering a Micro 355, have look at the Supressor. I like it more than the Micro 335 I had. For all the 'added weight' concerns, at 5.4 lbs., it's only 0.2 lbs. heavier than a 5.2 lb. Micro 355. It balances well and is a joy to shoot, I find shooting 440 grain arrows, there is little to...
