Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Nice set up you will love the optics on a turkey gun, what type of choke and load are you going to use?

Sumner, any time, but it only the special draw units that produce bucks like mine, the general areas get hit pretty hard by all the Seattle wanna be's, I'll post up another picture tonight of a giant non typical killed on the ranch behind my house.

Thanks Sumner, I hadn't thoought about watching the serving.

Guys first off thanks for all the info on tuning my new exomax, I am having a ball with it, Yesterday at our big family Easter dinner all the guys were out back shooting the xbow, I think I converted a couple guys from a bow!! The buck is a muley, here in Central Washington we only have mulies, 100 ...

Terry, I totally agree on the "magic marriage" of components, it just semed odd to me the different weight would shoot the same.

I guess it one of those mysteries that keeps us shooting, I'm headed out the door right now to go throw some more bolts down range, god I love this new toy

I'm shooting my exomax with at total bolt weight of 415 grains- 270shaft +145 field tip. I decided to try a Rage 100 grain pratice tip so this drops my total weight to 370 grains, this set up shoots to the exact same point of impact as the heavier bolt does at 20,30 and 40 yards, to windy today to g...

Folks thanks for all the info. Sumner, the couple flyers I had were just that a "couple" out of well over a hundred shots so far, I have marked my 6 bolts and will pay attention to any one that isn't consistant. Thanks again for all the info this project has been alot of fun so far, I sure...

After the couple off center shots I'm trying to make a real effort to keep my pull up on the rope straight, I think I'll mark the string tomorrow and see if I can pull it off center by cocking it to the right.

Do you guys find that when using the rope cocker you can still cock your crossbow a little off center if you don't pull the string back dead center. I had a couple shots today that went right 3-5 inches at 40 yards. The only thing I can see I did wrong was to pull the rope cocker a little to the rig...

Congrats I hope you like it as much as I like my new exomax

Thanks guys. I'll flip the string over after a few more shots I have noticed where the serving is wrapped around the string on the side my rope cocker is sepatating the serving wraps a little, I have kept it well rubbed with string wax. Here is a shot of a buck I took on a muzzleloader hunt 2 years ...

First off let me say that I am flat out amazed :shock: :shock: how well my new exomax shoots. I was able to finish sighting in out to 50 yards today. My dad who just turned 80 even shot a couple small groups at 40 yards today. I shot numerous 3 shot groups today at 50 yards that were no more than 3 ...

Thanks Dutch, it looks like the winds will be calm today, can't wait to shoot at longer ranges, I'm sure as the distance increases there will be more questions from me.

Fred

DUTCH, Yes I do guide up here, but thats not the reason I got on here. Just trying to learn all I can about a new shooting sport. Here are a couple pictures of the outdoor things our family loves to do, I have a 19 and 16 year old son who love to hunt as much as I do and a very understanding wife My...
