You know, I think I started this controversy by saying I had taken 19 deer in a row with a single shot, using a ballistic tip projectile at a muzzle velocity of 2600 FPS. I guess the truth is that I love all types of firearms. I have deer hunted with shotgun, 7X57, 270, 30-06, 300 mag., 7 mm Mag.and...

Mike:I think I came across that I don't like the 45-70. I think it is a great gun, and wopuld like to have one. I just prefer smaller caliber, faster rounds for sometime long range deer hunting. I am going to Colorado in November after an elk, and have been told by the outfitter that most shots will...

Spring: I have had excellent results with the 100 grain NAP Spitfire mechanical broadheads. They fly true and every deer I have shot has taken the 10 count within 80 yards. I probably am sticking my nose in where it isn't welcome, but why not use the 100 grain Spitfires in a light graphite shaft wit...

Mike: I have a Model 77 that I hunted with for a number of years. I had 19 one shot kills using a ballistic tip, 139 grain bullet that had a muzzle velocity of 2600 FPS. Using this round, The rifle gave sub minute groups at 100 yards. My longest one shot kill was 435 yards (witnessed by my wife). Us...

Tigerpaw: There are a number of rifles that can qualify as capable of taking any animal on earth; maybe even including the Exomax which Bill and Kathy are using in Africa as we speak. Jack O'Connor, the famed writer, took his wife to Africa a number of times, and I believe she took the big 5 using a...

T-man: I guess you could call me C-man. I live near Clanton, Alabama. I have haunted this forum since late 2002, and have seen this subject chewed over ever since I came aboard. My conclusion is that the best thing to do is to limit your shot distance to 30 yards. At that range, the deer is still wo...

I think most of us have had the misfortune of dryfiring our Excals at one time or another. I know the Parker has a safety that prevents the x-bow from firing unless a bolt is in place. Could that be added to the Excal's design or does it add another complicated mechanism that could fail at the wrong...
