THis year I got 3 pass throughs on deer with my exocet 200 using goldtip lazerII's with 100gr broadheads, range from 20-35yrds, and to tell you the truth since all the deer I have shot with my excalibur's they all have been pass through's except 1 which I spined.

Hey Boo, when you get yours let us know how well the encased crossbow fits. I will definitely buy one if it works. Lets see some pics too.

I wonder if that StandBack would work when the crossbow is encased. Seems useless if it doesn't, if you are goin to your stand before legal light and after.

I've tried the ground blind setup but to no availe. I think I move too much. You seem to have it down. What do you sit behind or on? I know part of the plan is the surprise of you being there. Dan O.

Tagged 2, Friday Morning

I knew I had bought additonal tags(3) for some reason. I had been waiting to hunt this field since the snow came and the wind was right, and Friday was the day. I parked my truck at the road and made the trek down the snowmobiled trail and then into the woods to the bottom end of this field. When wa...

I had my Exomax fall on the floor of the camp right on the Varizone Scope, long story, but I went to site it in again and mine was shooting 2 inches low at all distances, dialed her back in again and she was good to go, I fired about 20 shots just to confirm everything was ok.

I had the same experience about 4 years ago when I took a 30yrd shot on a deer with my Horton, the deer did the classic mule kick and I thought I had my deer, until I watched it run about 300yrds across an open field to where a buddy was setup, and he nailed it too but his shot was high and almost s...

I sometimes use a treestand, I have a few around the property I hunt, a couple hang on and a couple ladder stands, I use them when I feel the time is right but I prefer hunting from the ground that way I can relocate wherever I want in a jiffy, I don't have to worry about trying to hang a stand if t...
