Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Thanks all! Steaks and sausage- mouth's a watering! Not a ground blind this time though I did get one last year for when the grandbabies are ready to start! Just hunkered down in front of a tree. Older I get, the less I like climbing trees!

Yes- I didn't think it would be a problem that up close and personal, but I like the low shot. Had to anyway to get under a branch a couple of feet in front of me. Also had a doe duck under one last year so don't want to take a chance when a heart shot suits me real fine!

Can't open them Spitfire- but no surprise from this 'puter- can't upload them either- but I take it congratulations are in order so congrats and lotsa happy hunting!

Wanted you guys/gals to know (after all the assists you've given me) that I've finally drawn blood! Due to committments, I was only able to hunt this past Friday and Saturday evening of Maryland's early 2 week crossbow season. Hunting on the ground Saturday, I sat for no more then 15 minutes when I ...

Let me know if the deal falls through. Thanks!

Ahhhhh! That's how it works. Thanks guys!!!!!

Am a rank amateur w/ crossbows, but the 1st thing I did when I got it was order a scope mount. These old eyes appreciate the optics on my muzzleloader and my shotgun as well.

Thank you Sir! Looks like I have the skinny carved tips...no fast flight! The way that arrow sizzles though, I don't see a problem. Appeciate you. Go Pack!!

OK- I know I'm being a pain where a pill can't reach, but...Tried using the included cocking aid. Put the hooks on the string on each side of the riser, pulled it back and managed to catch the cocking string but not the crossbow string??!! how DOES this gadget work???

Appreciate the info fellows! Just rec'd my Vixen but one end of the flemish string did not have a loop! Added a loop and twisted to your legnth/brace height and gave her a go...fantastic/fast! Two shots and my string had already stretch out some though. Am considering fast flight string...but how do...

anyone know off the top of your head the string legnth for a Vixen??

Yup- it is on there as "show picture" - but checking it didn't change anything...?

Anyone know what I'd need to do in order to view the pictures submitted to the forum? I only get a white box w/ a red "X"! ?? Thanks, DWT

Sorry for the tardy reply...don't play w/ this 'puter thing much in the evenings! ...and yes Loveville is right in the heart of the "mother county". Thanks all for the responses. Can't wait to shoot/hunt that Vixen. Will be my 1st crossbow season and am looking fwd to it.

Won the bid and she is on the way! May have paid too much?? but after reading the posts here, just had to have one! Is there a significance/ difference (other than the obvious) between the black and current vixens? I have 2219s- are they too heavy? Thanks, DWT
