OK anyone have experience with the stock firebolt as it comes with the axiom SMF kit with aluminum inserts and x-act mechanicals? I am just worried about the 100gr x-act being a little too light and unstable but would like to have the little extra speed to help outrun the string spook. You have to r...

Now i may be new to xbows but now you are talking about something i can chime in on. I always ground hunted until about 4 years ago so had never heard of suspension trauma. Now this might not sureprise you but i ama communications technician that has been wearing fall p[rotection harnesses for over ...

Ok got my axiom out and examined and it has the same "glitch" almost like the limb assembly is shifted to the right a frog hair. I can honestly say i don't think it is affecting things as i had the unpleasant experience of a robin hood at 40 yards today, who'da thunk at 40 yards you still ...

OK reading about FOC and such, what grain broadhead gets you close to the "ideal" FOC with stock firebolts?

I don't know how ya'll do it. I live in NC and here depending on where you live get either 4 antlerless and 2 antlered or 2 antlerless 2 antlered and 2 either sex tags. THEN you can get unlimited bonus antlerless 2 for $10. In fact i have heard rumors from wildlife agents that they are going to go t...

I am looking and it looks like i can use a standard rifle sling on my Axiom, is this true?

Prices are crazy here too, luckily most of my stands are right next to white oaks and i have seeral areas where i can rake acorns as well to put into tube feeders.

Just spent about an hour practicing on my oddball yardages. Once I beat it into my head that 35 yards was halfway between the top of 40 chevron and the TOP of the 30 chevron (rather than the bottom) and so forth i was able to get my shots down and dialed in pretty darn good. So as I said the more i ...

Call me crazy but use paper or something like a washer on the BH, maybe business card for a little more adjusment. i have used this is indexing other things, it is temporary can be adjusted easily by adding more or less sheets of paper. once you get it right use a nice sharp razor bladed to clean an...

he sent me a PM yesterday about my brace height question

Well i finally got to stretch it out to 40 yds tonight and was grouping 4 arrows in about 3" free hand (and trust me i cant groupd that well with a rifle so it must be the xbow!!) The more i shoot this thing the more i am impressed. I now have a range finder an S-5 system, 6 pack of firebolts, ...

I have the one from cabela's on order myself, along with my S-5 and a spare string. It looks to be a good deal but is on about a week back order, expected delivery to cabelas is 8/12

So where abouts in NC folks. I am in Stokes county, but most of my hunting is done in rockingham county and cumberland county. Brother has 100 acres in rockingham and hunt a co-workers land in cumberland. Also going to be doing some hunting on Fort Bragg this year (they have awesome set-up there)

I have the axiom and have been shooting 150 grain field points, I have the 100 grain x-acts on the way (should recieve thursday or friday when i get in from out of town) i will be trying them out and let you know what it changes. I have read a coupld of places that the drag on the lighter broadhead ...

That is the issue i am having, it doesn't have the 2 lines anywhere. I plan to switch to the flemish once i have more experience. (following boo's theory that at some point in the first year there is a higher chance of an accidental dry fire)

Thanks
