Enjoyed reading that, nice gun to have passed on to you and for you to pass on. Love those pictures of grandpa and grandma!

Just tell the teacher that you saw them in the lounge being cozy with another teacher, and if you don't get an A+ you will tell her husband, now that's leverage! :lol: Seriously, if you could make up some type of cocking device using the fulcrum principle of leverage, I think the project would possi...

In Eastern pa .l see foxes that just dont look like foxes. Red but coyote looking features and just plain bigger than a regular fox. Awhile back I shot a coyote while hunting deer across from the Pocono Raceway. It was red but didn't look like any coyote I have ever seen, the nose was a lot shorter...

Unfortunate, but there is also a lot of competition out there, they aren't the first and they won't be the last.

Nice job on the sling!

Thanks for the heads up, I ordered some to try after reading decent reviews on them. Seems like just about everyone says to double band them, will do and go from there.

I guess i am also guilty of bein a wimp, once my cripped left hand gets in the 20's it draws up like claw n hurts terrible bad. Once my hands n feet get so cold they all hurt badly its all i can think about is the hurt. Not worth tryin to hunt at that pt. I want to enjoy my huntin not be lover of p...

Did you make it to Maine, waiting for the report/stories unless I missed it. I see you are still posting so at least we know you didn't get trampled by a Moose!

Thanks again, you are also saying the same as jansey said, when several people agree on a subject I tend to believe it to be fact. Apparently I will end up being satisfied with what I got, sure hope so! I'm 71, and at the max length of cocking these limbs don't seem to load up as much as the other o...

My mistake, should have chronographed and would have something to go by. Like I said, I may be making a mountain out of a molehill, all I wanted was the equivalent limbs that were on the bow, not faster, not slower, just equal, I was extremely happy with what I had. Jansey really put my mind to rest...

Thanks for the replies, yes somewhere down the road I will chronograph it and see exactly where I'm at. It may be my imagination, but when I got home and cocked it it just didn't seem to have the same stiff feel as the old limbs when I got near full draw. Thanks again for the replies, hopefully when...

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but here goes! When returning a splintered limb to have the set of limbs replaced, is it too much to ask for a set of limbs that are at least "EQUAL" to the set of limbs that were on the bow from new, I just had a set replaced that were more or less...

Congrats on the buck!
I see the rope cocker by the bow, please don't tell me that you can cock that 380 by yourself!!

A stringing aid is a must have for sure, I would also buy an extra string and carry it along in the field.
I sight mine in using a front and rear rest just like a rifle, no need to buy a lead sled!

Welcome Steve: Like you I read a lot of posts on here before I invested in a crossbow, I like the simplicity of the recurve concept and high praise of Excalibur's customer service. I'm 71, in somewhat decent shape, and I went with the Matrix 380 and am very happy with it. Like the way more knowledge...
