Re: Serving coming undone

I would say get it reserved. If it took that few amount of shots to get the serving lose I would say it is due from your string stretching in. I used to run a Archery Pro Shop and do ALOT of target shooting indoor and 3-D. I would always have to end up reserving my center serving after a hundred or ...

Excal Flemish String

I just picked up a new string for my Equinox.(part number #1989) I went to install it and it seem about 1 inch or more longer than my used stretched in factory string. I didnt even bother installing it after i held them side by side. The old string rests a hair inside the high brace height line fart...

Re: Took some well given advice

I hunt in South Eastern PA so most of my spots are small or off of someones yard. The chances of me leaving up w/o me hunting out of it is VERY slim. So hopefully fading won't be an issue. You even leave a hang-on stand up for any period of time it may up and vanish. However the fading to pink seems...

Outhouse Blind??

Has anyone tried using the Ameristep Outhouse with a Excalibur? I was really looking for a "smaller" pop up blind. My brother bought a new blind and sent me his Outhouse Blind. He "claims" you can use the stakes to make the blind wider. Ameristep also uses it can be used for cros...

Re: aluminum vs. carbon

Im telling you what I know from working FT in a Archery Pro Shop for about 8yrs. With most of todays compounds you will see anywhere from a 15-30 or more fps increase. Graphite/ Carbon is either 1 of 2 things. Straight or broken. At most you my screw a arrow up getting a hair bent insert causing a w...

Re: Excalibur T-Shirts???

Re: homemade Targets

Now $2 is a deal. Not sure if the pre-painted on circle targets are worth the $10 for my set up. $2 is deff the cheapest we have seen so far. That will be tuff to beat. Stealing inlaws couch cussions may be cheaper but, not in the long run.lol

Re: HANG FROM THE HEAD NOT THE BACK LEG;S

I do all my own butchering and quarting. I find hanging a Buck or Doe by the back legs is much easier (just be sure not to cut a tendon). If you have a mountable Buck you will cause alot of hair damage to the hide by hanging it by the neck. This also makes for a better clean up if you dont bother wi...

Re: homemade Targets

The best thing I have done over the years is, either do the feedbag deal or get a replacement target bag. I found 1 on ebay for like $12 shipped. For filling I use old plastic wrap from warehouse pallets. While working in a warehouse it takes me a day or 2 to fill a large target bag. I have used thi...

Re: Good ole FEDEX

That REALLY sucks. This is always a problem with shipping mounts. Most likely FedEx is going to say "Insuffient Packaging". In most cases gets them out of paying for anything. The 1 I would blame is the shipper. I work in a shipping dept. The packing job wasn't done to well for that damage...
