Re: DRY firing!

the deal is no dryfire is good. I have seen excaliburs take multiple dryfires with no damage and ive seen em damaged on the first one. the cool thing is, damage or not you wont be out of commission long. They are easy to fix yourself or if you choose to send it in for replacement limbs then that doe...

Re: dunking a matrix

I would say that if the string is waxed well then it wont absorb water and will fire spot on..conversely if its a dry string and soaks up a lot of water then the point of impact could change some. as far as the trigger unit..it will get filled with dirty water and will need a good cleaning and dryin...

Re: Micro pops !

The trigger block screws are what holds the trigger unit to the mainframe. To access them, you'll need to remove your stock from the mainframe. They are hidden from view, but you can reach them with your Allen wrenches once the stock is removed. I removed my stock. So just to be sure, the trigger b...

Re: Slooowww 380

Are you saying a fast bow isn't as accurate as a slower bow ! If you're splitting hairs, what you think Strum was saying is right. Speed enhances irregularities and imperfections in a bow. But I don't think that's what he's saying. not sure what i was saying :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: didnt mean...
