Re: 2019-20 Regs

Thanks. I took a look for those on the MNR site last Wednesday when I was filling out my vacation request for Turkey. I was hoping to fill out my forms for moose and deer too but they still had last year's regs then. I guess I was just a day or 2 early.

Re: Northern brothers

Thanks Gerald. Sadly, this day probably goes by largely unobserved up here. It's not a holiday and our memorial for it is over in France. Our prime minister makes a speech but unless it's a slow news day it rarely gets much if any mention in the media. Exceptions were the 90th anniversary ceremony a...

Re: Does anyone make their own lighted nocks?

I've never done that or even thought about it but now you've got me interested in trying it. So I googled "diy lighted nock" and the 1st 7 or 8 hits were all YouTube videos, like this one:

Re: Vintage Excalibur model ID

Actually after looking at the picture . This is a first generation Relayer because of the manual safety inside the trigger area . But has been upgraded with a cast aluminum riser and carved tip limbs . So prolly a custom or repair job? That's fine with me. From what I can gather from reading other ...

Re: Vintage Excalibur model ID

...You have a carved tip model and I would recommend getting a couple new strings for it as the age on the one that is on it could be substantial.

Re: Vintage Excalibur model ID

Hi folks. This is my 1st post here, the subject of which is sort of what prompted me to register. I've been hunting with a crossbow for around 30 years and got my 1st Excalibur, a Vixen, probably 20+ years ago.
