crossbow tech tips

Post by Masboy »

well let's hear any tips you have about crossbows , arrows,shooting. I learn most the hard way . I learned one today I spend a lot of time tightening my tips and my son says he puts silicon permatex on his tip threads an they stay tight so I just did all mine. my arrows shoot better by keeping them clean . there aluminum and I use acetone to take off all labeling an sand lightly and keep them slick and also keep my rail clean.

Check your all your fasterners every now then and clean your scope lenses. Inspect your arrows too.

Don't lean your crossbow against the side of a vehicle unattended. The driver may return and accidentally run it over! :D

Be very careful when using shooting sticks to steady your aim & KEEP them out of the way of your string!!

why would you want to down grade a Excaliber crossbow by doing that............... it would be the same as putting Ford parts on a GMC you just dont put inferior stuff on great products......
