Took my 405 over to friends and set up the chrony for the 405: Using a 486 grain bolt and head combo (checked with a scale) the speed results were as follows: Shot 1: 352.6 Shot 2: 354.1 Shot 3: 353.6 Average of 353.3 fps At 486 grains that gives about 134.5 lb-ft of energy. I am happy with that as ...

That's a good one

Probably developed at Area 51 in a special room where the laws of physics don't apply.

Your white whale awaits captain Ahab.

Seriously - Best of Luck

Congrats, the max is a fine bow. I have owned 2 (one duty, one standby) until the advent of the matrix. I sold one and gave the other to my son. It's gonna take a lot of years before my matrix knocks down as many deer as my max did. One piece of advice - The max has a really long power stroke and as...

Not "Character Marks" - those are "Battle Scars". And you "didn't" slip down an incline, those ended up there when a Bear surprised you - couldn't get off a shot - had to beat the beast, that was easily the largest bear you will probably ever see, over the head repeate...

So I went out for the opening this morning and spent 3 hours in the blind and saw one doe about 100 yards off. Plans for the afternoon were to do a walk and stalk along the river bottom in my ghillie suit. Well those plans apparently included an epic wipeout on an inclined mossy log. Other than some...

Well done! (pun intended)

After I tag out this year I'm going to check the speed on my 405. I am shooting 507 grain bolts and expect it to be somewhere in the 340-345 range. Geeez Joe, you're shooting Mack Trucks, not arrows! :shock: I am sure excal has done their research but I am of the opinion that 350 grains is too ligh...

I can't believe there was anything left to mount after that 17 hit it. :o :o When I took the shot I had no intention of mounting it as I thought the same as you. After I pulled the trigger and saw him flop over I went out to take a look and there was a pinhole entry and exit wound and almost no blo...

You are correct Scott - well technically it was the breakfast nook as my wife calls it. Since we eat there I figured dining room was close enough. I tried typing kitch-en and you are correct it came up as "spam."

So my daughter is a massive Edgar Allan Poe fan. So for her birthday I just picked this up from the taxidermist: http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Joe_Miedema/P1310045_zpsf1c8893c.jpg Being the redneck that I am I shot this guy from inside my dining room (do rednecks have dining rooms?) this ...
