Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Sorry to hear of your loss Wayne. My sincere condolences to you and your family in this trying time.

A crossbow is more like a compound bow than a rifle. People look at them and see the gun looking stock and sometimes assume that they are like rifles, but it just isn't the case when you use them. The same rules for bowhunting apply to crossbow hunting. The most humane arrow kill with any bow is thr...

Buy a .50 cal inline rifle that uses shotgun caps for ignition. Remington, TC, and Knight are great American brands. Traditions for imports. Inlines far outsell side hammer guns and allow for easy scope mounting. They feel more like a regular rifle that you are probably using now. Flintlocks are for...

Yeah, we have a lot more gadgets today... scents, camo popup tents, superb camo wear to match every foilage in North America...and then some, ATV's, portable tree stands, using bait of all kinds... So what? The deer are smarter than ever and populations are going through the roof! Urban deer are one...

Bring along dark shades, so your wife doesn't see your stares at the Montreal beauties!

I have to agree with maple, Schwartz's is world reknown for the best smoke meat around.

Camper, enjoy the new toy and let us know how it goes. I love my little Traditions Tracker.

Go up to the lookout on Mount Royal(free), the Olympic Stadium (up the tower), the Biodome, Insectarium, jetboating the Lachine Rapids, the old Port, see Old Montreal in a caleche rides (horse and buggy), relax at Beaver Lake park on the mountain, many restaurants (have a smoke meat at Ben's, Chenoy...

O.K. I'll respond once more to the article from GoneHuntin..even though I said I wouldn't... In all sincerity, thanks for the heads up GonHuntin! My barrel is indeed marked 700 kp/cm2. I don't see why Traditions would say 150 grains is ok when 90 or even 80 grains would be more appropriate. Initiall...

This is my last comment on this subject. I will not engage in any direct "quote for quote" chimp like activity, but I will say this: I own many guns of all kinds of makes ( Ruger, Remington, some Winchesters, Baikal, Traditions, Lyman, an old Spanish shotgun, a BSA, and some old military m...

A muzzleloader is basically a barrel and an action...and a stock (the new nylon/plastic stocks are all basically the same). You cannot compare a crossbow or bow like you can a muzzleloader. There are far more variables involved to make a reliable and accurate bow. On a muzzleloader, if your barrel i...

Guys, guys, how do expect them to find any money for this?!!! After all that gun registery is costing us 2 billion! .... Dumba** politicians! Enough said.

Turkeywacker, my Traditions Inline tracker takes 150 grains of Pyrodex in strides. It will cluster shot over shot at 75 yards with standard hunting loads of 100 - 110 grains. You will find over the years all gun makers have had their share of problems. This isn't isolated to one maker or another. An...

If you want to sell it fast, put it on ebay.

aloha!
