Re: Scent free laundry detergent

So if I interpret charts right,deer are seeing enhanced colors at a range we struggle with and increase by use of u.v. brighteners in an attempt to see. Good case against hunting cloths washed with brighteners, beyond yet proving some non u.v. wash manufacturers claims.Still like my baking soda but ...

Re: Scent free laundry detergent

U.v. and deer vision.Interesting. Our vision peters out just past violet. I don,t know what those/that next color(s) looks like, I guess so we should use it in military applications,that and a morel mushroom pattern! Green supposed to be near invisible to deer as past violet is to us but there all w...

Re: Scent free laundry detergent

U.V. brightners not good for hunting.One old study ,accuracy must be considered, showed a glow to fabric in a deers view.Probably by company that sold/sells u.v. free products.Denim a screaming neon to game though l.o.l.. I smell like dogs.So far except lack of deer to see this year its been fine. L...

Re: The perfect arrow

Spine factoring?
Resistance of broadhead with longer bolt has bolt doing the hula? 4 inches off length should change what was result at longer length, (for good or bad),would greater diameter or instead, wall thickness, have same effect as heavier field tip with longer shaft?

Re: I zig, he zags

Chess,cat and mouse,what ever its called. I lose more than I win but once in a while,thump!This weather might be all it takes. Record of days trying and then getting lucky for a buck was about 20 after finding him.Many won. Thats part of the deal.
Get im!.

Re: traveling with xbow

Excalibur recommends using a hard side double gun case. In the instructional videos in the support section of this forum is a video about traveling,showing how easy it is to disassemble and store two pieces. Emphasis on the two don,t touch to avoid contact damage. The great part is ,though target te...

Cocked, Locked and ready to Rock ... once i release the safety.

It's that moment of truth just before your ready to take a shot that excites one to t...

Re: Getting an ADF

Ha! a certain rifle manufacturer did make a mouse trap safety that nearly killed deer by concussion when throwing it off. I learned to by holding it between thumb and fore finger ride it down quietly. :x You,ll feel more comfortable with ADF in use,that can,t be bad. I would need the bolt that is to...
