What do you guys use for weighing your arrows? I have a digital spam scale, but that's only precise to within around 2 grams (probably because it scales up to 11 lbs). I see Lyman makes an arrow scale that is accurate to within 1/10th of a grain, but they cost $65-70. Here's a potentially stupid que...

I just got mine the other day and haven't taken it into the field yet (or even loaded any arrows into it), but the quiver itself seemed very quiet. It's constructed very simply, with just heavy elastics used to hold the hinges shut. I ordered the larger size so I could use it for both my vertical bo...

I wanted my crossbow to be as balanced as possible, so I took the quiver off altogether and got a Pro-Tect quiver instead.

If you don't mind spending $400, then you can't beat the quality (and customer service!) of the Double Bull Matrix. I have room in the blind bag to fit two folding stools, my camera tripod and my bow stand, too. I don't think you'll find a blind with built-in chairs. I enjoyed my [url=http://www.hun...

Much to my surprise, the one I bought a couple weeks ago definitely seemed to work in my blind. I was using a Gobbler Guillotine and had to keep my screen open or I wouldn't have bothered. I got nervous about what I was breathing in, though, and didn't leave it on for very long. The black flys weren...

I have an Exomax and the first target I used was my father's Black Hole , and the bolts went in right up to the fletching. I didn't have the T-handle for pulling the bolts out at that point, so we would unscrew the tips and push the bolts back out with a block of wood and a hammer just to get enough...

I used to have a Hunter's View Trophy Den (basically the same as this one , but one of the poles ripped through the fabric towards the end of my first season with it, and then I struggled with it for another year before finally throwing it away. When it came time to get a new one, I almost bought th...

I have a Matrix 360 (same dimensions as your T5 ), but given the dimensions, I'm pretty sure that the T2 would be big enough to shoot your crossbow from. I've had excellent customer service from them the couple times I've called (888-464-0409) and emailed them (can't find the email address on the ne...
