A little tip

Post by xcaliber »

I use the new crank, EXT Charger, or whatever it is called. I like to leave it on all the time, but the darn thing rattles about and makes a bit of noise. You old timers may remember Mole Skin. It is a felt like material usually in a camo pattern of sorts with one side sticky like a decal sort of. Anyway, I put that on my Micro's in a few spots to deaden the bumping noise, or metallic sound, and it works nice. It's like mini bumpers strategically placed one piece at a time. :thumbup:

I believe in the really old days it really was Mole skin.
Remember the Cheesey animals in the gift shop from Russia made of cat pelts and whatever they skinned.
.....and we bought em. Lol.

I have not heard much about Browning compound bows. My first bow (hunting) was a "Browning Bushmaster" compound with a terrific 50% letoff :roll: , remember the old times.

Great tip Dan, I love that! My first compound was a 1987 Hoyt Gamegetter II....about a 54" axle to axle, 11" brace height, steel cables on round wheels and an endless loop string on teardrops off the cables...and 83lbs draw weight. Launching 32" 2219XX75's at a whopping 222fps. Lol. It was state of the art. :lol: I still have it in the museum.

Your bow is the only other one I have heard of :eusa-clap: in all these years

I loved that bow, such a small compact bow, 37.5" axel to axel, 38.5" overall max size. The arrows in the quiver was almost larger :lol: . I got it used in 79 or 80 (sorry old memory :roll: ). Unfortunately I dislocated my shoulder and could not draw the bow without the fear of it dislocating again, just not safe. Fortunately, in Ontario we were able to use crossbows so I was able to continue hunting with a borrowed Astro Daco Scropion. Then I found Bill and bought my Excalibur in 83.
