Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I carry a come-along winch with me all season long in behind the seat of my truck. It makes it a heck of a lot easier to get OLE MOSSY HORNS loaded into my four wheel drive after the kill. I wrap a rope around the antlers then hook the winch to the rope and start jacking. It sure beats busting a nu...

[quote="Digger"]I have a steddy Eddy that you can brace against your waist to steady your shot.


Digger, what typre of modification (if any) did you have to make to use the Steddy Eddy with the Excalibur?

Yep, that's what us poor folks use. I shower and use baking soda in my groin area, under my armpits and in my hair. No wait, I got it backwards, :shock: my hair, then the armpits and FINALLY the groin :lol: :lol: Anyhow, also use baking soda in the washer for my hunting clothes. I sweat alot , so I...

Gee guys...thanks for sharing your personal hygiene habits with me. :lol: I'm 6'2 300 lbs and when I just think about moving I sweat, so I try to do my darndest to eliminate scent (including scentlok clothes) In early season here in PA it's too warm (usually) for the scentlok and quite often I'm hun...

Actually, Comfybear, I was making fun of Grtiz sinces he's the one that said the moose was hunting on a mountain bike. :lol: :lol: So, to quote a favorite movie charater of mine: Lighten up, Francis." - Sgt. Hulka (Stripes) Seriously, no harm intended. It's real hard for me to pass up an opport...

Has anybody come up with an inexpensive alternative to the commercial scent free laundry soap or for that matter, bath soap, too?

Wow, I didn't know you could train a moose to ride a mountain bike. What was he hunting for?
Man, learn sumthin' new everyday.

Going?

a little extra slack and a full spool might help on the string breaking. The results of tonight's testing. First shot: Using a light rubber band I looped it over the shaft and slid it down to the partially loose field point. I snugged it to the shaft of the field point and tightened the point down ...

I use the Garmin Etrex Vista for work. I don't have the color version but the unit is very user friendly and has only failed me one time. (Heavy cloud and tree cover) I highly recommend the Garmin GPS units. They've got me sold.

Joe--,Up till 2 mths. ago when I got a Phoenix I was useing a Horton Safari Express I bought new 19 yrs. ago. The tracker canister I did have to tape closed where the 2 halves meet as it would pop open when shooting from the crossbow.The Horton had the threaded insert as standard fatory equipped.I ...

I've used the string tracker for years both on my vertical bow and the crossbow.Never had a problem either way.Does make a hissing sound as the string unwinds on take off. Always had the deer fall within range of viewing them though.Except a decent 8 point that I buried a Muzzy in his front shoulde...

I've used the tracker on my compound with good success. Especially useful on those just before dark shots. Haven't tried it on the crossbow but I read somewhere that the string tends to break when you fire the arrow. Don't know how true that is. This will be my first crossbow hunting season and I'm...

In prepping my Emag for the upcoming season, some questions came to mind regarding deck wax. Do you put it on the string only, and let it transfer to the rail via repeated shots? Or do you put it on both the rail and the string? Also, do you clean off the old wax from the rail, and if so, how often...
