Re: Bolt fletching help

When sighting in my Equinox the bolts went through the target and messed up the fletching. What are my options for repair and where can I get the parts & glue please? Any pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks and I sat in the tree stand this morning but only saw some tree rats! The trail cam shows ...

Re: Muzzleloader Scope Help

I tried several for my Knight and found a winner in the Nikon Monarch UCC 2X7...would look at that one and the Omega....you won't save a dime if impact changes happen from time to time. I don't deal with Leupold (or Redfield) after the rotten customer service with a $600 RX-IV rangefinder that was j...

Re: What does this tell us?

Many times I've sat in my stand, thankful my son bought an Excalibur and steered me to one a couple of years ago. Stringer and preadjusted and stretched string in my pack. No wheels to time and bow presses to twist cables.....had a service issue and called Excalibur and a very nice lady named Dawn a...

Re: Axiom impressed me this morning

My brother took down a nice 8 point this evening with his Axiom....impressive, lightweight bow...sent a 2219 with a 125 gn Slick Trick Magnum through the ribs on nearside and destroyed the shoulder blade and shoulder on the exit...arrow buried in the ground. Piled up in sight.....I heard the impact ...

Re: ThermaCell Question

Wife and myself took ours to fireworks on July 4th and forgot to turn it off...when we got home she brought it in and laid it on spam counter. All of a sudden our cats were turning flips and running crazy through the house...the dog was bulldozing his head in the carpet and then they all went as far...

Re: Rage slipcam rear deploying crossbow 125. gr

My opinion, look elsewhere. Spitfire better solution but a double lung hit deer is headed for the freezer with even the smallest fixed blade...we (family hunting group of 6) had two large bucks run off with practically no penetration using two blade rages last season. One, a nice 11 point was back i...

Re: rage bh

Three of us used the 125 grain 2 blades last year. All of us shooting Equinox with Firebolts....I shot a decent 8 point through both lungs with good broadhead performance, opening on contact and passing through between ribs in and out. Deer ran 150 yards [guess] and down . Max shot very large buck i...

Re: I LOST MY BEST FRIEND TODAY

Sorry to hear this Mike. I've been there way too many times and know how you feel. I think the best hunters are the ones that also take the best care of their animals. Beautiful dog. Wish you the best.

Re: Crossbow Spitfires Opening Out Of Bow

I picked up some small bands today at the bow shop. He got some for this problem and Rage heads coming loose in the quiver, etc. They are just like the dental kind so I will try them tomorrow and hopefully get going. I hope so since the Spitfire has been a tough expandable for us. Thanks for all the...

Re: Crossbow Spitfires Opening Out Of Bow

Erratic flight and the Glen Dale deer had one or two cuts indicating open blade upon impact. The Jakhmmer flew perfect 4-5 times and then started flying erratically also. There were no blade marks on the foam deer surface with the Jakhammer but we found the base of the broadhead was distorting. We d...

Crossbow Spitfires Opening Out Of Bow

Three of us that hunt together and use crossbows each bought a pack of 125 Spritfires. There are two Equinox and a Vortex. We each took 1 broadhead from each pack and shot them for comparative accuracy to our field points. Each one of the three broadheads from three different packages opened out of ...
