Woody: Thanks for the post. I had wondered about how Chase was doing- looks better than I had hoped! Our prayers were answered. That activity was one of the high points in the history of this website, in my opinion. We need to be ready when another call comes in. Striper

As you may know, magnifying scopes are illegal in Alabama. I have been told that the red dot scopes, which are legal here, do not do well in low light situations. As I really dislike the peep sight that comes standard with my Exocet, I need to find some alternative. I am afraid to take the red dot j...

I wonder if he's too weak to draw a Vixen? Striper

I tried out the new decocking method using the cocking aid this weekend and it worked like a charm with my Exocet although I am crippled in one arm and almost 70 YOA. My hunting partner, overweight and out of shape, uses this method on an Exomax, and has absolutely no problem with the 225# draw. He ...

WABI: Oops, after 4 years with a crossbow, you have taught me something. Which broadheads need washers? Hopefully not NAP Spitfires since that is what I use.Striper

Right on, brother! Striper

DesertRat hit it on the head. Get the bolt there fast! I shoot a 385 grain bolt -broadhead combination on my Exocet (395 FPS) and have not had one jump the string. I DO limit myself to about 30 yards max shot distance. Striper

Lonewolf: Good luck! Striper

More congratulations! Striper

WABI: We all like to end a story with a quick clean kill, but like the rest of REAL life, things don't always end that way. Thanks for a well written report. For you, I wish you could have found him sooner. Striper

As long as I am in the tree. Striper

JH: In Alabama, it is illegal to carry a firearm while bowhunting. It's a good thing we don't have grizzlies! striper

Congratulations ecoaster! Good story, well told. Striper
