Re: Scopes?

You might consider the "Cross Bones" scope 3-7x33mm by Leupold. I feel like it allows me to see clearly a little longer than the other cross bow scopes. When hunting, I always have my old Swarovski 8x42 binoculars that I bartered for over 30 years ago. I admit that I probably would not hav...

eleminate another source of noise

I wrapped and knotted a 7" length of 1/2" wide inner tube rubber around each side of the stirrup of my Phoenix. This accomplished two things. First, most of my crossbow hunting is from stands with a wood floor. While waiting for deer to show up, I position my crossbow as if I'm shooting ve...

Re: homemade shooting rail for ladder stands

Attached is a photo of one of my ladder stands with an 1/2" electrical conduit shooting rail. Normally I have a camo cloth draped over the rail to hide my hand movements. I took it off for the season. I welded this particular stand in 1989. It uses a 24' ladder. This rail uses a white chord tie...

Re: turkey hunting

I really like the "Shooters Rump Rest" by MTM Case Guard. I've used one for about 9 years for turkey and sometimes deer hunting. It weighs very little and is easy to carry across a shoulder. Two legs are shorter than the others so it can be turned to be comfortable on an incline. If I'm go...

Re: String bumper design

I don't know for sure if the string hits the riser. But, it sure looks like it does. Mine has wax marks on the top and vertical surface of the riser that I assumed came from the serving moving across the riser and striking the riser vertical surface. Also, it looks like some indentions on the front ...

String bumper design

I've been thinking about a string bumper design for my Phoenix crossbow that would be compatible with my custom quiver bracket http://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=36162 or Groundpounder's design. It seems we are adapting the bumper design from a regular compound bow. Has ...

Re: Quiver mount I made for my Phoenix

With a full quiver of Excalibur carbon arrows with 150 grain broad heads, the bow is very balanced left to right. It would be easy to mount a small camera on this mount instead of the quiver. Thanks for the input on the lack of bowstring twist. It only has one full twist on each side. It has just no...

Quiver mount I made for my Phoenix

I thought I would share the cross mounted quiver mount I fabricated for my Phoenix crossbow. I credit Groundpounder for the inspiration. I used my Ornamental Rose Engine to decorate and take some weight off the aluminum quiver risers. I still plan to lighten and round the ends of the horizontal piec...

Re: For those of you waiting for Excal's new STS style syste

I want to use the "ground pounder" quiver mount and the new "STS" type string dampener on my Phoenix. It would be nice if the new string dampener could mount from the bottom so the ground pounder could mount on top. Will replacement rubber tips for the new Excalibur dampener be a...
