BOLT BACK PACK & THE MICRO
Moderator: Excalibur Marketing Dude
Re: BOLT BACK PACK & THE MICRO
Has anyone tried the pack out in the cold yet?
Wondering what the material sounds like when the temperature drops? Anyone who hunts late season knows what I mean.... Material that goes from soft whisper quiet at room temperature to crackling like a plastic grocery bag when you get out in the cold.
Unnecessary noise from backpacks or clothing is a huge pet peeve when in a stand.
Thanks for any info

I had mine delivered to the Detroitmailbox,com!!! Arrived in 2 days and I went over to pick it up....JUDGE wrote:I ordered one 10 days ago , have not seen it yet. Maybe because I am in Canada takes longer for mail shipments.
Hope it comes in soon.

Re: BOLT BACK PACK & THE MICRO
Hi Cryon, check out the Badlands packs. They're the best I've seen and they're dead silent in all conditions, and extremely feature rich. I've had my T2800 for years and they've added more features. The only problem is that they are also $$$ rich! The bolt pack looks like a great deal.Cryon wrote:Has anyone tried the pack out in the cold yet?

You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.

I'll bet Bohning loves this Excal forum and the Micro as much as I do. Ordered me a pack this morning. Heck of a deal for a good product. Thanks for the heads up guys. Cheers. Wayne

Re: BOLT BACK PACK & THE MICRO
well I took my bow and pack for a long walk today and I have to say I LOVE this pack. It was so much easier to get through the thick stuff to check out some new areas to hunt next week. Wish I had this pack last year.

Re: BOLT BACK PACK & THE MICRO
I used mine yesterday for the long walk back to my truck.
I was walking back to meet my buddy & he saw me walking towards him. He had this goofy look on his face. He said "hey did you leave your crossbow back at the stand" I turned around & said "nope it's attached to my back pack"... He was amazed for 2 reasons.
The Micro limbs are so narrow he didn't see my bow behind my back & He had no idea they made a back pack to carry a crossbow!!
He ordered one when he got home... LOL
It was nice to walk comfortable & hands free for once...

Re: BOLT BACK PACK & THE MICRO
JUSTANUFF, these packs are made so if you need to get to the crossbow quickly you reach back and grab the stirrup with one hand and unbuckle the strap with the other and bring the crossbow around to your shoulder if needed. I have tried it several times and it works very well.
Also i bought mine for the axiom, and it works fine, the limbs are a little wider but are still in line with your shoulders, im sure it is not as tight a package as it would be with a micro, but it still seems to work very well in my opinion. The way i seen it when i ordered mine is if for some reason i didnt like it, for the price i would not have had trouble gettin my money back out of it by selling it to someone that has a more suitable crossbow for it.
But i like it so much i ordered another one for a back up, should anything happen to the first one.

Re: BOLT BACK PACK & THE MICRO
Besides the price and name, is there any other differences between this pack and the Excal ex-pac?

Re: BOLT BACK PACK & THE MICRO
Thanks StormDragon... for bringing this thread back.. I must have been out hunting when this thread first came out..I mean its a heck of a deal, I just went on there site and they were still available at 50.00 dollars, I ordered me one a little while ago. and for 60.00 dollars 10.00 dollars shipping got one coming my way.. I have been looking for a good crossbow pack, but the money most were asking was more than I was willing to pay... including the bolt at 165.00. That 100.00 dollar saving was all it took for me.. Thanks again................
