Exomax String Life
I haven't posted for several months. Great to be back onthe forum! :D BillT, the new website is a huge improvement. Anyway, a few days ago I decided to take a few shots with the Exomax, for the first time in a while. One thing lead to another, and I ended up taking quite a few shots. Still as accura...

Straightening bent dissipator Bars
It's been quite a while since I posted. :oops: I dry fired my Exomax several months ago, and only recently noticed that both dissipator bars are slightly bent. I tried clamping them in a vice and pounding them with a leather mallet, but had no success straightening them. Is there any special trick f...

I think the main reason a 50-55 yard shot with a crossbow is a bad idea is that most people simply can't reliably estimate range at that distance within 5 yards. Since crossbows have such a high trajectory, misjudging by five yards could change the point of impact by close to a foot, especially at l...

You need to have your wits about you when toting a crossbow. You can't be asleep at the switch like you can toting a vert bow. I learned that the hard way. Luckily, the damage to my limbs after the dry fire was insignificant. :wink: :oops: The people bashing crossbows because of this accident seem ...

Just measured the splinters. As far as I can tell from visual inspection with a magnifying glass, both splinters are no more than a sixteenth of an inch wide, and the longest one is a little over an inch long. I havn't tried to raise them. Are you guys sure I couldn't just get a little epoxy on the ...

Dry Fired It! Help BillT!
:cry: Darn it, I was afraid this would happen! I was just sighing in my new red dot, and forgot to load a bolt. on the fourth shot. The bow is an Exomax. There was nothing spectacular. The shot sounded a little different than normal, but not really loader, and there was more vibration than normal. T...

Ultradot Red Dot Arrived
:D My red dot sight arrived yesterday! It is a 30 mm red dot, 11 position adjustable, matte black finish, made in japan, $129. From what I can see, the workmanship is flawless. It included a lifetime warranty. Also included a nifty two-piece adjustable polarizing filter, which I would say is worth a...
