Re: Aluminun Arrows

I use Easton 2216 out of my Matrix 330 and Micro 335. One reason I use 2216/19 is a bad experience with my vertical and carbon arrows a long time ago. Embed a carbon splinter into your hand once. You will never want to do it again. Other than that, I can also easily throw together a bunch of arrows ...

Re: Dead zone scope question

Set speed dial to approximate speed. Sight in at 20. Then move to 40 and aim at a point at top of target using the 20 yd mark. Now look thru the scope and place your 20 at the the top aiming point and then adjust your speed dial until the 40yrd marker is on the arrow you just shot. That is how I alw...

Re: OPTI™SPEED™ VELOCITY CALIBRATED BDC CROSSBOW SCOPE

At first glance, the size and the clean reticle caught my eye. I've found a store that has them for 153 shipped. At that price, it is tempting. As far as Truglo experience, my only sight of theirs I have is a 4 dot reflex, speed adjustable sight. Lite weight, small, and it allows me to never lose si...

Re: OPTI™SPEED™ VELOCITY CALIBRATED BDC CROSSBOW SCOPE

I contacted Truglo customer service to inquire as to what this scope weighs. Their response: The weight of the TG8514BLC scope with the rings is 1.2lbs ( 19.2oz ) Most standard 30mm rings are about 5-6 ounces. If you replaced them with ultralite rings ( say 2.5 ounces ) you would have yourself a pr...

Re: Crosman Recurve

May compete as far as specifications but long term reliability is still to be seen. These are new to the market so until they have years of use in the field under all kinds of conditions, such as the Excalibur models, they are unproven. Only my opinion. Bill I don't disagree with you in regards to ...

Re: Thumbhole Stock?

I like the look of that. I was thinking about doing something like that to my M330. Some of the spots I hunt are heavy with prickly pear and blackberry brambles. I would be sick to my stomach if I scratched up the beautiful wood on her.

Re: Can't seem to pull the trigger.

308 Short is a terrible name for a crossbow.

Everytime I hear or read that, I think about .308 Winchester rifle loads... 8)
