Re: Effective Crossbow Yardage
When hunting I set markers out to 30 yds if my prey comes into that kill zone I take the shot if it does not, then no shot taken I would rather pass on an bad hit than spend the night tracking. I completely agree. I don't want to ever just wound a deer. Tracking is not a problem though because I ha...

Re: Effective Crossbow Yardage
Thanks for the advice! I have a stand set up that should suit xbow hunting pretty well. My longest shot would be about 30 yards. As loud as my bow is, I was afraid that the deer might jump the string. A few years ago, my son was shooting an old Onieda bow that he inherited from my Dad, and he had a ...

Effective Crossbow Yardage
I am completely new to crossbows, and I just received the Exomax that I bought from Sneak yesterday. I have been able to shoot it a few time between jobs, and from what I can tell, it is screaming accurate. I am already shooting one hole groups at 20 yards, and my plan is to move the target out to 3...

Re: All most all hard antler
I have had my cameras out since the middle of July, and I got the first pictures of hard antlers yesterday.

Re: Scope Question
Don't base you use on that thread, there are several thousand very happy Varizone and Lumizone users out there. The scope is a perfect match for the bow. If you have a Leupold sitting around, by all means use it though! You may want to consider sending it back to Leupold and let them know your inte...

Re: Scope Question
Thanks for the replies! My Dad just got an Ibex and was talked into buying the package deal with the Lumizone scope, and I had never heard of that brand and did a little homework on it. The reviews are pretty mixed. From shooting it and handling it only once, it appears to be a decent scope, but I p...

Scope Question
I am new here and just getting my first crossbow, and I have read the thread about the Lumizone scope problems. Is there any reason that I can't mount a Leupold VX-III 1.5-5 illuminated scope on my crossbow? I have been told that the recoil is "different" than a rifle and will be harder on...
