I love shooting my new Equinox. I’ve been shooting it as much as possible in preparation for the quickly approaching spring turkey season. Its wicked fast, death-to-fellow-arrows accurate at 50 yards and very sexy to my eyes! I recently lost sleep over the first ding I noted on its finish.
I’ve wanted to own an Excalibur ever since I first saw one in Roger Combs’s 1987 book, Crossbows. I was seven years old and the Relayer was Excalibur’s only crossbow. There is a great picture in that book of downed black bear accented with a cocked Relayer resting nearby. I remember admiring the sweep of its cocked limbs and fantasying about hunting bear in the bush with a crossbow. I think I may be a crossbow nut.
The use of a crossbow for hunting here in Iowa is permitted only with a special license, so I find myself more or less alone in my enthusiasm for crossbow shooting/hunting. Oh well, at least I have my Equinox! It also feels good to know that there are other crossbow shooters/hunters just keystrokes away. Thanks goodness for the internet!
Due to my budding love for target/field shooting I’ve decided to start building my own arrows. I’ve found many great posts on this topic here and I’m sure I going to have some questions of my own soon. Thanks in advance.
I plan on slowly customizing and tweaking my set-up. Not that it really needs any additional customization to function perfectly; it just seems to be the nature of my emerging illness.
