Re: Few questions from first time crossbow buyer
Most of the crossbow shooters on here shoot carbon arrows. If you're worried about fps and penetration,I would go with an aluminum arrow(2219) with a150 grain boltcutter broadhead. Most of your shots will be under 30/35 yards. Any animal shot at that distance with that set up should be considered de...

Re: Bolt lenght
The standard "Diablo" arrow which comes with the Grizzly is 18" in length. I personally wouldn't go shorter especially when adding a broadhead to it. I like the idea of shooting an aluminum 2219 arrow. I'm trying to talk my nephew into buying aluminum arrows for his Grizzly. He has sh...

Re: Adding weight to a broadhead
I know you want to continue to shoot your choice of broadhead,but try switching to a BoltCutter(150 grain)fixed head or maybe a BoltCutter Expandable head.I'm not sure of the weight on the expandable. Just a suggestion.

Re: Sat on the ground with my ghillie suit on.
Any deer shot and recovered is considered a good deer(maybe even a trophy) depending on the hunt and the hunter. Congrats on a fine deer.

Re: Lesson Learned
My first time using Lumenok arrows,the vane did not sit completely flat on the rail causing the string not to be center on the nock which resulted in a semi dry fire ruining the arrow and vanes.

Re: My homemade vanilla killer recipe
I haven't tried the home made vanilla killer recipe. I have always just used vanilla extract bought at the dollar store for $1 and either poured or sprayed the vanilla on a pumpkin I placed 20 yards from my ground blind. The orange pumpkin acts as a visual attractor while the vanilla scent causes th...

Re: Range Finders
I bought a Simmons LR600 for just under a $100 on sale over 6 years ago added a $15 2 year extended warranty which has long expired. Runs on a 9volt battery. Never had any problems with it and still use it.

Re: Bolts for Grizzly and Axiom
I own an Axiom and shoot 20" arrows. My nephew has the Grizzly and he forgot to bring his 18" arrows and shot my 20" arrows with no problems at a distance of 50 yards when sighting in his scope. As far as shooting 18" arrows out of my Axiom,never tried it and more than likely nev...

Re: Delima
Instead of pulling the arrow back out ruining the fletching,push the arrow completely through the target. The fletching will come out better than pulling it backwards.

Re: Zeroing in Zeiss xb70 on Matrix 380
Reverse the rings(put the back ring on front of scope and put the front ring on back of scope). Tried this one time for me and it worked...don't know why?

Re: Sunday morning shrapnel
I remember the first time I tried to use the rope cocker to uncock my bow while in my living room. I didn't notice that 1 of the hooks had come off the string because I didn't keep tension on it. As soon as I took the safety off and pulled the trigger,the string ripped the rope handle from my hand a...

Re: Deer Crossing Bolts - who shoots them ?
I have shot them in the past. I bought a dozen when they first came out. They had a special on them if you used a certain code number which a member on this site provided. I used them mainly for target shooting. For the price they were alright. If I was shooting competition,I would pass. I tried usi...

Re: Excalibur Broadheads
I bought my nephew an Excal Grizzly and gave him 6 Excal BoltCutters(150grn. He shoots 50 yard bullseyes off a cheap bench rest. He cannot aim at the same spot if he shoots a second arrow because he will split the first arrow. No reason to even think about using a different broadhead with results li...

Re: eBay scam?
I was 1 of the lucky ones. I bought a Grizzly off ebay brand new for $496,last November. Contacted seller to make sure he was authorized to sell Excalibur. No problems with the seller or the transaction. I used Paypal for that transaction. Doubt if I'll take that chance again. I'll go through 1 of t...
