I was taught you eat what you kill and you do not waste anything. Those that cut the heads off and leave the rest give me a sour outlook on the subject. We have that happen here too every year where some one cuts off the head and leaves the carcass to rot. Of course I think a lot of them are poache...

No, just kidding. Just say yes. No need to embarrass him.

Re: NEW SAXMAN UPDATE!

He says that things aren't going well with his kidney transplant. His body is rejecting the new kidney and he's in failure again ... and that his la...

Watch GaryL's videos

While I don't own the E-Z Fletch YET, I watched Gary's VERY informative videos on flwtching a bolt with the jig and it didn't look like any tricks were necessary. Here's his post: http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=16628 Incidentally, video clip #3 is a definite MUST see. :lol: ...

Half moon nocks on Excals - BAD.

Ether don't use them, grind/file them off or replace with either flat nocks or rear inserts.
