Wow! Did anyone visit that site.....archery talk? The guy gets pounced upon for posting a "graphic" video on youtube! There seem to be a whole lot of folks paranoid about the anti hunting crowd. I was that guy, and yes I took a beating for it! LOL!! I thought I was doing a good thing and ...

A Birds Eye From The Vortex!!

I have a Cuddeback 3.0 and love it. The trigger is fast and the batteries do not eat me for lunch. I only have to put batteries in it about every five months which is twice a year for me. I put it up after gun seasons are over which is mid January and I just put in new batteries in mid June. They sh...

I know nothing about them except from two guys at work. They both use a brand called Mine Lab I think. They both paid around 700 bucks for theres and seem pretty happy with them. They both told me that they are not beginner friendly and take some time to learn. They are big into it and both come to ...

The lumizone is top notch and a great scope IMO. I love the fact that it will work even when turned off or the batteries go dead! I have been having a good time with mine!

How do I lube it up? Does it come out in one complete assembled unit and I just apply the lube, or does it involve taking lots of littles apart? I feel like the release weight is great, but the length of pull getting there sucks!

Vortex Trigger

My Vortex came yesterday and have been having alot of fun shooting it so far. I am pleased with this CB. The one part that is maybe bothering me is the length of trigger pull. I have been shooting Horton's for the last fourteen years and Bought the Excal because of all the good things I was hearing ...

So from what you guys are saying you see no performance difference between Flemish and Endless loop right? I think the Flemish just looks cool IMO. But if it is has no advantage or has a disadvantage then I would need to rethink it. The way you guys talk of dry fires makes me nervous! I have been us...

Boo's strings?

Seems like from this forum everyone seems happy with Dons strings. Can anyone tell me any advantage Flemish ends have over endless loop? I know on the older CB's you could only use one kind, but on my new Vortex I can use either right? Just curious on what all you think of the two types of strings. ...

First post, and first pics, what do you think?

Been a long time user of Horton and have been on huntingnet.com's forum since it start. Have resisted long enough the advances that awshucks and Dnk(boo over here I think), have been putting on me. Just bought this stuff last night and cant wait until it gets here. The main thing that has been pushi...
