I BOUGHT IT FROM THE SIERRA TRADING POST CATALOG ABOUT A HALF DOZEN YEARS AGO FOR A FEW DOLLARS, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL THEY DON'T SELL THEM AN...

I have read some fairly scientific opinions regarding carbon scent free clothing and in a very controlled laboratory with special equipment it should work. But out in the field it is useless. It is like going to the doctors and saying when I eat 5 bananas a day I feel good. Doctor replies keep eatin...

HOW FAR DO THE LIMBS EXTEND WHEN SHOT ?

I have an Exocet about 3 years old. In one of my tree stands I have limited forward clearance; I have a tree in front of me. Question I have is does anyone know how far the limbs extend forward when fired? Would they extend past the foot stirrup? If so how far? Also I would be interested in how you ...
