Question on Half Moon Nocks

Just wondering if anyone here has filed or grinded half moon nocks down to being flat in order to shoot out of their Excaliburs?

Can it be done and be reccomended?

Also, how can you pull these suckers off? I'm having a tough time.

Thanks.

I am glad to know I was not the only one who has experienced this. About a month ago, I tried out a Barnett rope cocker on my Exomax. I pulled it up almost to the point of cocking it when all of the sudden the hooks sheared off! Happened so fast I could hardly believe it. The pulley portion flew so ...

I suggest finding a way to secure it. I found out the hard way with a $200.00 DeerCam. I would have given someone a prize if they could have found it in the deep woods where I had it ... yet someone did :( At first I thought I had lost my head then it set in ... I was too lazy to find a way to secur...

Which Arizona Fletcher?

I am truly loving my new Exomax! :D Great accuracy! :D :D I am now venturing into fletching my own bolts and wanting to buy an Arizona Fletcher. I am primarily shooting Gold Tip Laser IIs, 20 inch. Which Arizona Fletcher do I get? I am a right handed shooter. Straight, 1 degree right, 4 degree right...

Kentucky has added the crossbow as a legal means of taking game but not during archery season. Only muzzleloading and modern gun. Law was passed of Aug. 1st.

Most websites haven't updated current changes.

I'll be hunting out of a very big persimmon tree adjacent to another HUGE persimmon tree. Did my early scouting! Fruit is all over the place. All critters are attracted to it. It seems anyway from their scat. I truly hope the saying is true, " Good year for persimmons mean good year for the dee...

Thanks for all the replies. Now I have a few choices.

I've thought of making my own however with my luck I'd probably screw it up.

Thanks again.

Hip Quivers

Just got into crossbowing. Love it and addicted! My Exomax is a beauty and she gives me a REAL workout. Rear deltoids that is ... pulling up the dang string! I am going to ask a redundant question. Anyway, I'm a crossbow only kinda guy. I mean I like shooting the thing without much other things prot...

Thanks Greywolf for the dimensions.

One last thing, how far in inches or centimeters did you space your arrow holes?

Many thanks!

Greywolf, Would you please be kind enough to post the dimensions of your crossbow rack. That is one "tight" design, for sure ... I like it a lot! How tall, how wide and how did you design the bolt holders? I could probably mimic the the back board, but please tell us how you went about con...

Can't wait to get the crossbow. Went scouting today and climbed a persimon tree to approx. 35 feet with the Lone Wolf Alpha Climber (very light, 17 lbs.) I still prefer my Docs Recliner (heavy, 32 lbs.). I usually drive it to my spot with my Kawasaki Brute Force 750. The Docs is like a Cadillac in t...
