I've got the Optima 209 Mag with the 26 " barrel....I believe the Pro has the 29"barrel... I think everything else is the same. I use 2-50gr. pellets of 777 pushing a 245 gr Powerbelt hollow point. The Optima's can handle 3 - 50gr pellets or 100 grains of loose powder max according to CVA ...

Great minds think alike..

I dont post much on this site but check the threads almost daily. The Land Between the Lakes is a public use, national recreation area and borders Kentucky & Tennessee. Their asking for input on their hunting programs and comments are welcomed by users and potential users of this area. To bring ...

Guys.... dont post much but I find this thread interesting. This is a Kentucky doe I took last fall. I was using Wasp Hammer SST 125 and though this is'nt a good picture of the exit wound take note that after it exited the body ...it also passed through the leg. I was in a 15 ft ladder stand and the...

Thats definitely a wicked clog. :D Wabi..... I'm a plumber as well and seeing this reminds me of a clog we had a few years ago . I work as a plumbing & mechanical foreman at a university here in Kentucky. We have a lot property and buildings that were donated from alumni that we maintain as well...

bstout......they changed it in March.....a compromise was reached between the bowhunting groups and the KDF&WR....it was really more of a submission because the oposition had the legislators involved in a bill that would have left the season as it already existed. The bill....would have circumve...

I forgot to comment on how much I've enjoyed reading the Kentucky Afield magazine. I'm not sure If I'll renew or not but it has been fun (and educational) well worth the ten dollars. Thanks to all the Excalibur forum members who joined in with the Kentucky crossbow club when they were asked to do s...

Guys , I'm the one that posted the question about shoulder shots . I belong to 3 sites. All of them have crossbow sections . I dont frequent often here but have put my 2 cents worth on occasion . Not that anyone has ever not made me feel welcome but I dont shoot a excalibur crossbow . I shoot a Park...

I think most of us get all worked up over the noise a crossbow makes from our experiences with traditional archery equipment . Crossbows are going to be louder its just their nature . We kinda make comments to the effect that speed will compensate . However most compounds today shoot relatively clos...

ATv's are just like any other thing with a motor . You have to use common sense . Down here just about everybody has them and especially hunters . I wouldnt take nothing for mine when it comes to getting a deer out or hauling in ladder stands . I however do not ride them to my stand while hunting . ...

duber : I'm not familiar with those two brands but I'd go with aluminum any time . If its one with a seat climber where you sit down and pull your legs up for the next bite ... the lighter weight will be easier . Especially during colder weather and you got more clothes on . I have used many over th...

1.Learn as much as you can about the animal your hunting. Study their vitals and know where to shoot them . 2. " Aim small miss small " ; Pick a spot . Even if you have crosshairs . Dont aim at the entire animal , imagine a small target in the vital areas and smoothly squeeze the trigger. ...

Well guys I'm further south than woody about 1 1/2 hr drive from Nashville , Tn. on the Kentucky border . It has been hotter than blue blazes with the last few weeks with temps in the mid 90's F. Thats pretty normal this time of the year . Everybodys used to it . Humidity stays pretty high too . Hur...

I have'nt shot a camlock broadhead in years . They were good heads . I'm shooting Wasp Hammer SST 125 gr. with my crossbow set-up. I tried several different ones but these gouped the best . Alot of guys are shooting the SlickTricks like Digger posted with great results . The Wasp Boss is also good b...

The KDF&W met July 6 and approved Cornell University to perform a independent survey . Its my understanding they will survey 2000 to 4000 people . It will be done by phone . Since this is a "social issue" there has been a lot of speculation on how it will be formatted . Overall opinion...
