Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I haven't yet tried it with the crossbow but used to hunt them a lot when I hunted with a recurve. Had a ball. Just used blunts, judo or field tips.

Hoss, that is a great story and I'll bet your heart hasn't slowed much yet! It may never happen again, but if it doe to you or someone else, give them the head bob yourself! Especially if you are on your hands and knees. You might be amazed at the results. I could give some wild stories but probably...

Hawg, that is most interesting and I'll be paying attention to that in the future.
