Re: O.T, sort of. White whitetails
I use to live just north of where these deer are so I got to see them a couple times.

leg powered cocking device
I have dreamed up, sketched and am now building a simple leg powered cocking device that requires no arm strength. It is for target shooting only. It's not something you would want to carry around hunting although it is somewhat portable. If it works, it would make target practice a heck of a lot le...

UPDATE: I made the trip to Cabelas and a couple other smaller shops. I spent 5 hours at Cabelas shooting and talking about xbows. The salesman, Bill, was patient with me. I tried all the excaliburs and various other compound xbows. I like the vortex best. I was surprised how easy it is to cock with ...

my new cell phone for detroit trips
Boring day. No packers at the s-bowl. Deer season closed. No ice for fishing. No rope to hang myself. Sooooo, just wanted to say hi & show you this neat cell phone by Nokia.

photo posting test. the big one.
This is my first time trying to post a picture. Hope it works.
It was getting dark so I couldn't see horns. Besides, I was afraid I would hit the garage door. So I let this one go.

I need a history lesson
I have started reading the archives beginning with 2003 posts. One discussion concerning the exocet referred to a draw weight of 175#. Did the exocet start out at 175#s? Were any other excalibur model's draw weights increased over time? P.S. I am amazed at the high number of excellent reviews excali...

Thanks for answering my questions. I didn't do much research when I bought the barnette. I lived in Michigan's Upper Penninsula at the time, so everything was mail order. I overlooked recurves because I assumed they were inferior compared to compounds. Looks like I was wrong. I have been very succes...

questions from a new old guy
This is my first post. My name is Bill Hall. 61 years old. I live in the Lansing Michigan area. I bought my first xbow 5 years ago when Michigan legalized them for the firearm deer season. Barnette Quad 300. Haven't used my deer rifle since, so I sold it last year. I want a new xbow so I've been rea...
