Re: Line Replacement-- Charger/C2

Also from friend Google 3. The use of Kevlar, a registered trademark of DuPont, has made body armor lighter and easier to work with, but flexibility has still been a problem. However today a new material called SPECTRA has been released on the market and SPECTRA is more flexible, lighter and strong...

Re: Line Replacement-- Charger/C2

It would seem that either Kevlar or Dyneema would be the answer. What's the preferred choice? Is there a better choice? What should the minimum breakage strength be? Is there a preferred diameter? Is there a preferred brand? A preferred supplier? I consider this to be pretty serious stuff. A substa...

Re: Charger Crank

So I broke one of the plastic hooks on my Charger while cocking the Micro 355. Excal sent replacements hooks right away via Woody’s. I’ve changed a string and hook on the C2 with no issue. Pretty easy. Question is, how do you go about doin* it with the Charger? Any help wo7ld be appreciated. Thanks...

Re: New Xbow for 2021

This is an arrow makers dream! "The crossbow of claim 12 wherein the trigger mechanism is arranged so that a single trigger actuator acts as both of the upper and lower trigger actuators, or the upper and lower trigger actuator are coupled together to act as a single trigger actuator, and furt...

Re: Micro 308 short Banshee

We have had a Vortex, Axiom SMF, Micro 355, Micro 340, 308 Short (turned 327), and a BD417 in the family. Between my dad, brother and I, the 308 Short is everyone's favorite. They're just awesome, especially if you like a short LOP.

Re: ExoBulldog 320

There's actually a Bulldog 400 rail, stock, and bd trigger group for sale on AT right now on AT for a very fair price. Anyone with an Ibex, Phoenix, or Axiom that did this would gain a little speed and be more compact. Or with a Vixen 2 gain even more speed, lose a little overall length, but gain a ...

Re: broadhead for turkey

We had good luck with the Innerloc Carnage on multiple turkey last spring. The 3 blade 1.5" diameter cuts a pretty good sized hole, and the arrow wrap opens the blades extremely easy on impact. We could tell the blades were fully deployed on the entrance side through feathers it pushed up again...

Re: Custom “Excaliburky 415”

That bow is amazing. I especially love the 5" bullpup.

Was the stock cut from laminate?

Re: Being to Nervous or to picky with limb deformations

Save your pictures for future reference, then bolt em on and send arrows down range. Those are definite flaws, but they are under the compressed bolted and washer area and I can't imagine that being a reliability issue. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong though.

Re: Bulldog 360

Something's not adding up there. The rail on this micro is 16.5 and uses the same stock as a BD360. you can see the riser joint is pretty much even with the front end of the stock, making the stock "pocket" approx 13.5" give or take a few. Looks like 17~" would be to the riser j...

Awesome, thanks! That must be very back of rail right up to where it meets the riser, correct?

Re: 2020- So what did you buy?

Tyler, I have been really interested in a 6mmARC ever since the articles started coming out. Looks to me like a great cartridge for the AR platform. Now I want to heat all about it. Sadly I haven't even fired a single round through my ARC yet. I finished building it right around firearm season open...
