200 lb Exocet/Exomag/Phoenix . . . What's the difference?

I've had my Exomag 200 for probably 10 years now, and am thinking about getting a 2nd Excaliber (I know, some of you are probably wondering why it took me this long!!). I was looking for somethiing lighter, like a Exocet 165, for practice in the back yard, and as a backup/loaner and was digging thro...

Slick Trick Availability

Gents (and Ladies) I've read recently about some folks being short their favored Slick Trick broadheads immediately prior to the archery season. I just checked EBay, and there are several sellers that advertise as having them in stock and available immediately if you "buy now". The prices ...

Rich- With all due respect, if you are looking for a response from Excalibur on your issue, you should send a message directly to them instead of merely throwing out something on this forum. Your assumption that they are reading every message on this board is in my estimation, unfair. Bill and Kathy...

Joe is corrrect. The .32 rimfires came in several "flavors" Short and Long being the most common. I am almost positive that the Crackshot rifles were chambered from the factory only for the Rimfire .32 cartridges. CIL made a run of rimfire ammo in both long and short on the late 50's or so...

I'm a newbie here, but feel confident in saying that your actual arrow velocity is really going to be dependent on the type of arrows (weight) and the weight of the broadheads. My ExoMag, with 20" Easton 2216s, and 100 gr. Slicktricks is "on" at the "325" setting on the scop...

Griz- I think vertical archers are very hype responsive. I've known guys that buy new bows more often than they buy new cars/trucks. Probably only 10% of the hunters out there have bows more that 5 years old. I don't think the deer are getting any harder to kill . . . . I'm not a vertical archer any...

XBow Friendly ranges in Northern Virginia??

Do any of the forum members know if there is an archery range in the Northern VA area that will let me shoot my ExoMag? In calling around, it seems like horizontal archers are considered black sheep, or otherwise undesireable . . .

Thanks in Advance-

Hunting in the Rain . . .

Another newbie question. Are there any sort of "equipment considerations" I need keep in mind for getting ready to go hunting with my crossbow in the rain? I've noticed a forum member mention keeping the (feather) fletching dry on his bolts. What's a good way to keep them dry? Thanks in Ad...

Tree Stand Safety Harness

I'm looking forward to hunting with my (new to me) Excalibur ExoMag in a few weeks here in Virginia and have dusted off my old treestand. I've never worn a safety harness when hunting out of it before, but think that I might want to start using one. Does anyone on the forum have any experience with ...
