...probably will pick up a pack to try out...again, it would be for next year if at all... I have a lot invested in my Lumenoks...Burt Coyote has me on speed dial :lol: but I am never married to any of these....except the misses...(I had to look over my shoulder for the flying wooden spoon :shock: :...

....but UPSMAN, if I were to do that the UPSMAN would be delivering me less stuff I am only looking out for you guys!

....I used one on Saturday and it really hadn't been in there more than a couple of weeks....hence maybe the reason why i wasn't getting many pictures in the morning and mostly right around dark... I was successful using it (having cut out a square to shoot through the netting)...but that was a youn...

If you weren't a Hunter, this is what your wall might look like

Your choice Anthony. I say keep it as is. You've got plenty of arrows, the broadhead has already paid for itself, and you'll like the momento of your first crossbow casualty. :D Two weeks later my zombie is probably just starting to slow down in the dirt NOW! :shock: I knew I would get good advice ...

....so after having finally christened the M380 (Jelly Belly) with its first kill on Saturday I am now left with a wounded and bloodied arra :cry: :cry: ...One vane is missing... my wrap is a little ripped where the vane came off...my Spitfire, ah my poor little Spitfire...a blade is bent (hit shoul...

....I can see it now...next year at Boofest a contest of some sort pinning the "hook up" against the "hook down" people....I just gotta get there next year by "hook or by crook" (pun intended )

i just purchased some carbon express launchpad lighted nocks.. hope they work well, seem to be very bright and work well.. anyone else use these? ....A review I just saw on USA Midway sight: These things are pathetic. Don't waste your money. Fit is lousy. Does not blink. Cannot see the led from 10 ...

I'm with Swamp on this one. NuFletch is the way to go for durability and ease of use. It's the same reasons we all shoot Excaliburs. ....I think this is all fun....it just provides for another "goodie" to try for the off season....hey if I don't like it I know there are some who will take...

....so we ALL be right....yippee!

I'm still for down on the "cocking" and up on the "decocking"!

But if you do this then you would have to reverse the hooks when you get ready to cock the CB again. I also leave the rope cocker on the CB after each hunting trip.

Anthony

...congrats on the doe and for keeping me at the edge of my seat with a great narrative of the action!


Anthony

....hmmmm?

Mine are usually down. I also leave my cocking rope attached to Jelly Belly while cased...so after a great deal of consideration and thought.....

I will continue to leave them down to cock the bow....and face them up do decock it!

Phew....
