been shooting all year, cleared my trails out, put out more minerals, moved a few stands, fixed up the ground blinds, so yes I'm all set. Hope there are as many deer as deer flys this year

If there is even half as many deer as deer flies it will surely be a great season!!

Ray, you've never run your fingers up and down the stock & forearm on your Excalibur?

I'd bet even Grizz has done that!

No, Bob ... but like Carter, I must admit, "I've looked on a lot of Excaliburs with lust."

Of course, that doesn't make me better than the rest of you who haven't controlled yourselves.

As I'm new to Xbows, I have been tuning arrows for best impact, refletching, testing b heads, adjusting LOP and eye releif, considering a higher comb for better eye alingment (less parallax), shooting different positions. As a former competetive high power shooter I'm anal about accuracy and have most of the accuracy items corrected. I am confident that out to 50 yds my arrows will impact within 5/8" of POA using hunting shooting positions. Still considering a raise in comb height for faster target acquistion. Still looking for a more consistant arrow, better spining, less tuning.

Overall, I say "Let it begin".

I have been shooting my CB since about May. Added the STS and a Boo string and feeling very confident with it now. Got my tag for Wyoming Mule Deer so come Sept 1 I will be in the Big Horn Mountains chasing down some nice Mulie on my first attempt with a CB. Looking forward to this verrrry much!
