I have never had an arrow come loose of the older model Quiver. I still want a new one.

I have the older Excalibur Quiver(has only single holder clips). I would like to have one of the newer ones but my motto is "If it ain't broke don't fix it". I have the one I use over 3 years and still works quite well. I mount it on my Ground Pounder Mount when going to and from my stands...

Congratulations on the doe Kelley! And I have several deer with a Comfy Bear string. String is still in perfect shape! My doe this year did come on a Boo string. Nothing wrong with variety :wink: I try and do most business with forum members versus stores. Alot of great members with great products ...

Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry CB. I cannot lie. I have a 3 year old string that has been reserved once, did a season on an Exomax and on it's second season on my Exocet as well 100s of shots into targets. I have taken 10 deer with this string since I received it. I know what it will do every time I pull the trigger. It is ...

Slowly into field came a mature doe, 2, 1 year old young doe, and a fawn. It took 20 minutes for the big doe to meander into my comfort range. She stopped at 33 yards to f...

Add me to the old geezer list. I will be 68 next Wednesday. I am strictly a ladder stand hunter now. Most of the stands are buddy stands. I like the extra room to adjust when my body tells me. I usually hunt a minimum of 8hrs a day and if it is the rut longer.

I remember a post where one of the Excalibur team, at a outdoor show, left one of their bows in a enclosed trailer in hot weather with no damage.

Up at 3:45 AM, put coffee pot on, turned on computer, checked temp, wind direction, barometer, solunar table. Got a cup of coffee, or 3. Jumped in shower with scent free shampoo and soap to wash of perfumed soap sheet smell. in my stand by 6:00AM. Hunted 10:00AM. No deer sighted in the 4 hours. Abou...

Me too. Been shooting crossbows without a dry fire for many years. Can happen any day although I hope not soon.
I did almost join the Missing Toe Club while uncocking.

That is about what I paid for mine on Ebay.
