Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I also wanted to say love the grizz tricks nice big cut but both deer I shot this year were high lung shots I was thinking maybe stirrup rubbing caused this although both deer only went 20y and 40y and heard both crash so I cant really complain

Ithink it is a 2005 I will have to see if it is backwards.I want to thank everyone for the quick replies I love this forum you are all aces!

I bought slicktrick grizz tricks this year and noticed if I slide the bolt out the blades rub the sturrup is there a max cutting diameter for an excocet .if i rotate the bolt just so the blades barley clear the sturrup

Are you sure it's the string? When the bolt accelerates down the rail at trigger pull, the friction of the aluminum nock, or aluminum arrow, creates a burning smell from scraping along the rail. I notice the same smell coming from my aluminum arrows when I shoot them from my PSE Carera compound bow...

I just wanted to make sure I wasnt crazy .

anyone notice a smell of sulfur after taking a shot with the ff string. I was practicing the other day in a blind after the shot I thought some one lit a match. took another shot same thing then I smelled the string sure enough it was my srting anyone else notice this?

saxman thanks for all the info maybe you can post pictures if you get lucky this year.

how sharp are the blades and are they 2.5 cutting circle I see different ads that say different size cutting diameter`no problems with were the blades bolt to the ferrule

anyone tried the new nap bloodrunner its a fixed / expandable looks real good just wanna know how it works on crossbow.

I have used buckjam and the deer love it .they seem to like the corn flavor the best I pour a gallon onto a stump.the chow blocks I use are from purina and they love them too. dont know about the walmart ones I buy them from a feed store. 15 bucks a block 33#

I started this thread because I cut my string to short I was tryng to shorten it so it would be easy to cock guess I got to carried away

anyone know the proper length of the string and what kind of string material I was thinking of using lawn mower pull cord. any ideas ?

same thing I heard new member is pro crossbow.they are going to have the vote on oct.4or5 I think just when the season starts .they look very foolish right now.figures I already scheduled vacation to hunt with my crossbow.

thanks for the info.
