Nice going!

Based on stories like yours and some of my own experiences over the last 2 seasons, I'm really gaining respect for the effectiveness and flexibility of getting them from the ground.

Simply AWESOME!

Nice try ninepointer!!! I remember!! 3 x 9 = 27, so there's got to be at LEAST one 10 pointer there. Or an 11! You're still posting under an expired alias. :wink: Your turn will come. LOL :lol: , you DO have a good memory! RIGHT: 9-points (2002, rifle), its the one in my avatar pic. It was my bigge...

Looks just like my first crossbow buck. Well done!

28 points between the three of them, that is :wink:. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/josiah1/4_zps5c02b464.jpg I'll be lucky if I get out this month for the first time this season, so in the mean-time I'll live vicariously through your new successes and my old ones. Keep the deer pics and sto...

Great story! Nice tall tines on that buck.

Bow used? BH used?

Yup, we need the story please...
Good going!!!

But i sure am now! :D I experienced a self induced problem with my bow 2 nights ago. Nope, wasnt a dryfire. Worse. One that could potentially be a very expensive repair, not that any of you guys would know because the first step i took was to contact Peter @ excalibur. Ive heard back from him alrea...

Well, a bear has smashed up another one of the stands at our camp . We've been putting up wooden stands for nearly 20 years and never had this problem until we built the last two stands out of pressure treated wood. Lesson learned.

BTW, it was Big John who convinced me to go with a light arrow (268 gr. without head) for my bow. They fly flat yet still go through both sides of a deer.

Congratulations! Your bow will put arrows through deer and stick them in the ground behind. It's every bit as accurate as any Excalibur made today. The arrows & heads described in my signature line below are exactly what I was shooting with the original carved tip limbs.

I ordered regular slicks. Are they going to be a problem out of my axiom? I didn't know they had specific ones for the xbow when I placed my order.

Rest assured you have purchased crossbow broadhead perfection.

A rangefinder is a handy tool and I'll always have one now, but before that I killed most of my deer without one. In the woods I relied on a combination of landmarks (trees, stumps, rocks) and flagging tape markers tied on limbs or bushes. In fields I would shove a few sticks in the ground to marks ...
