Re: Whats the best hunting scope?

Leupold without a doubt. No illumination required. Leupold's low light clarity is superior during those last few minutes of the legal hunting day.

I've heard medium rings are needed for the Nikon bolt XR scope. Everyone else put you on the right path.

Re: Slicktricks Don't Spin True

I just bought 9 new slicktrick standard 100 grains as I was having planing issues with my Thunderheads. Of the 9, 2 spin true with no wobble on my spin tester when on my BE Executioner arrows. I haven't shot any of them yet. I'm assuming they will fly poorly being that they wobble when I spin them ...

Re: Leupold scope ??

I use the center reticle for 0-30 yards with a 25 yard zero set on 4x power. I had it on my Equinox before I sold it. Now its on my Matrix 355. The Turkey plex reticle is the Duplex reticle with a small circle in the center. Any of these points can also be used for various ranges if desired. On my M...

Re: Which Matrix for hunting?

I feel the Matrix 355 is perfect, but it even has reserve power for my 30 yard maximum range deer kills. I shot my first crossbow deer in 2012 with my brand new Excalibur Equinox. The large adult white tailed doe was harvested at 25 yards. My 400 grain 20 inch Firebolt Boltcutter tipped arrows passe...

Re: Case questions for Matrix 380

Excalibur's Deluxe T-form padded case is perfect for the longer limb Excalibur crossbows, but your Matrix 380 might move around more inside during your travels. I love this case for my Matrix 355 and I only paid $60.00. Here is the link and they ship orders over $50.00 for $5.00. It's $65.00 shipped...

Re: STOCK SCOPE VS VARIZON (HELP)

$30 is a good price for the upgrade Vari-Zone scope.

The Nikon bolt VR scope is in another class and all around better scope.

Re: Hawke XB30 Pro vs Excalibur Twilight DLX

What was the mishap with your Tact-Zone scope? The reason I ask is the MSRP difference between the Tact-Zone and Twilight DLX is only $80.

Re: Bolt or Arrow?

Okay, I'd like to know the difference between a Bolt and an Arrow, and why? I'm a newb, but doing lots of reading and learning fast. Thanks. The way I understand it is arrows have fletching and bolts have none. My state of Michigan uses three words for them. Frequently Asked Questions About Crossbo...

Re: Leupold Crossbones Problem

I am sure you are adjusting the scope correctly. I doubt swapping the rings will do anything also moving the scope fore and aft is for eye relief and wouldn't change elevation. Curious what model Excalibur crossbow and arrows are you using? Also, what manufacture and height rings are you using? The ...

Use your old scope if you have one as a trade in for the Leupold from Danny Miller. Then you will only pay a smaller difference.
