Mine is the same as Cossacks except maybe a little lighter. It can't be beat for walk and stalk. The only downside is the amount of twigs, seeds, and burrs the string gillies pick up during a stalk.
Happy sneakin,

If you have newer strings, then it is probably string creep. Check to see if your brace height has changed. If it has changed the add a few twists to the string instead of resighting. Hoping its a simple fix. If not then you've asked your question at the right place. Happy sightin, :D Hank P.s: Make...

After a shooting session it is a good idea to flex you shafts to see if there is any cracking. I have found two bad shafts this way. Happy shootin,

My closest shot to date on a bear was 8 yards. Double lung heart shot. The only reason I backed away after the shot was the wind blowing the arterial spray all over me. Oh, I guess I should mention she was 10 feet up a tree. She was dead when she hit the ground. :D Your bear is at least 350-400 lbs....

Hi all,
My 18/1 is pretty shot up. I was wondering if anyone knows of a product I could inject into it to prolong the life. At this moment I just dont have the cash for a new target. Thanks.
Hank

Ok, I'm impressed. Very nice shootin! I hope you don't mind me copying your " jack stand". After all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

The Atlantic Provinces have a company called Parts for Trucks which sells bundles of compressed rags for $18.75. They are 18" by 16" by 6 inches thick. They weigh 25 pounds and are very tightly packed in heavy plastic, so no stuffing required. My matrix 380 shooting 150 grain field points...

I have experimented with many materials in my bag and always go back to packed rags. I love the two finger removal and the fact that my blazers have never touched the bag. It is simply the easiest and cheapest solution. JMHO.

Good read! The biggest point I saw is Muzzy's bad all the rest good. Seriously, it confirms what I believed all along. A proficient hunter hitting the proper impact zone will not have far to go for recovery. Thanks for all your info and effort.
Hank

Congrats! Can't wait to hear how it works out.

I dont really have that problem as most of my game is shot within 400 yards of my house. I am lucky in that I am surrounded by green belts and farm land. As an added bonus, last year a crap load of ringnecked pheasants were released and the mild winter helped the population to explode. I have seen 1...

Much appreciated. Thanks.
Hank

Which works better for vanes, turkey tails or turkey wing flights? Thanks guys.
Hank

Exellent replies guys! Matt, your last paragraph was particularly true as I have had rifle shooters and compounders shoot better than me the first time they shot a crossbow. Good shooting form translates across the board from rifles to crossbows. Like you Matt, I sight my bow in the way I hunt, not ...

I just just got my new limbs last friday for the same problem. The limb splintered last hunting season and I continued to fill my tags with it. Getting replacement limbs took a little less than a month.( crappy Canada Post) No questions asked except for return address. You're in good hands! :D Hank ...
