Ridiculous accuracy

[DuckHunt]

With the impending weather system coming in a couple hours, I decided to take out my new target bow and toss a few arrows at 40 yards before the rain starts.

While todays subject might look like a Gatorade bottle cap being held up by a roofing tack, the bottle cap is just a highlighter. The roofing tack is the real target.


I took a couple shots at a larger dot, then made a final two click adjustment to the scope. I guess I should have tapped on the scope to let the crosshairs settle, because the first shot was just outside the cap. Maybe I pulled it. But the 2nd shot, bullseye.


Just to prove it wasn't a fluke, I grabbed another roofing tack and positioned the same bottle cap in a different spot with the new tack. Loaded up the same arrow and...


While I was planning to shoot quite a few more arrows, I decided to call it day. It starts to take the suspense out of it when you've hit roofing tacks at 40y on back to back shots. This target bow is a keeper.

Since my daughter took my Micro 335 off my hands, I've resumed ownership of my original Exomax. It has been collecting a lot of dust over the last few years and I decided it would be a great platform for some target shooting.

The original scope wasn't much for distance shooting, so I topped it with a Mueller 6-18x44 AO. The 18x helps a lot with small targets at 40 yards. Since I'm just target shooting with it, I have it dialed in at 40 yards.

Yes, those are cheap Bone Collector 20" carbon arrows with halfmoon nocks from Wal-Mart. They have a brass insert. I've heard that they are made by Victory Archery, but I'm not sure. I bought eight of them and picked out the most consistent four. I got a good deal on some of the Mossy Oak camo bolts with brass inserts as well, but they don't fly as well. I plan to refletch these with helical Blazers, but they shoot pretty good as is.

Looks like a Winner to me!!

Very Nice!

Tack driver, that's for sure !

But now do you have roofing nails buried in your target??

Yep, two of them. I guess I should have thought that through a little further.

The old long limb bows offered a lot for their day and I was never a tent hunter so I very rarely had issues with limb length being a negative factor hunting , Trying to not bang the walls getting it out of the house is another story
That is impressive shooting for any gear .

Never felt they were “ too big in the woods” but you are right about getting it into or out of the house or truck.

Most Excalibur’s are so accurate that they are boring. …. But it’s a good boring!
