Day pack

What would the raging masses suggest for a day pack? They do carry a hefty price on them so I would like to make a informed purchase. Is there one brand that out shines the rest?

Re: unreal hunt on tv???????...........

The show that gets my goat is the one were they shoot a coyote and you can clearly see that the arrow shot is not placed well. The dog is jumping around not even a good lung shot. Perhaps the sponsors are the ones to be targetted? I think I will email the sponsors of that show and ask if they have s...

Blazers

What makes the Blazer work so well ? 30 years ago you would not have used anything but a five inch vane. What is the science behind them? What is the best off set for them and what is the best jig for them on carbon arrows?

Re: easy come easy go

I can see it now Planter , Police are looking for a man last seen running down the street with a crossbow. Could not touch it bad Carma. My presonal Ibex would give me the cold shoulder. Can not say I have had any luck winning anything in a long time. Everyday that I wake up is a good thing so I do ...

easy come easy go

Just got home from a DU supper. Missed winning A IBEX on a raffle by a mere number. How sweat would that have been. Did the right thing and told the young lad to check out the web sight. Shame he did not know what he had. well maybe it might spark him to try hunting with it.

Re: Last ride for an old friend

Sorry for your lose. If we are lucky we get one great dog in our life. Sure sounds like she was your great dog. My best field trial dog has come down with cancer. Dread the day, but I know it will come.

Re: Excal scopes

Thanks guys Dwilley you explained what I was thinking. I realize that they work for people with different set ups. Any difference would be minimal if set up correctly.

Re: Excal scopes

I realize the twenty mark would not move. The part I do not get is the chevrons would move the same for all weight arrows. Would there not be a little difference in the distance the chevrons move for different arrow weight or is it just so little tha it does not matter. A slow arrow and fast arrow w...
