Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I cant believe nobody locks their stands to trees. Everyone I was in hunting camp with in PA a week ago locked their climbers to trees, and this was on state land. When you got a 1-2 mile walk into the woods, im sure it would be a pain to carry a climber in and out with you along with your xbow, et...

OMG! Where are you buying ammo??

Even if you don't get another tag, at least you will be around next year to try again.

I agree with this 100%. Not worth it.

Check out Treewalker or Cougar Claw. Also US made climbers.

Have had both and prefer the traditional JMO

Thanks. That helps a lot.

Thanks for suggestion on Danny. Already spoke to him and will be ordering from him. Just trying to save the hassle of a return. As for the profile, yes I know how to do that. I have been hanging out on forums longer than most people have known about the Internet. Trying to reduce the amount of perso...

The first two I have called don't have both in stock. Will try the last two listed.

I found no reason for you to have to apologize in that thread. Being new to this forum, I did not realize people are that touchy. Good to know going forward.

Can anyone compare/describe the grip "thickness" between these two models? I am ready to order, but I am concerned about this. I have VERY small hands. People think I exaggerate, until I tell them I only wear a size 7 1/2 ring or show them my hands. I have been leaning towards the Phoenix,...

You hunting on a deer farm. I'm lucky to see that many deer in a season.
Congrats on the Doe!!

Cheers

LOL! I know the feeling. I have seen a total of 5 deer since 10/1.

Congratulations to the OP!

I have had it happen with a vertical bow. I can only imagine what it is like on a crossbow. Glad you are still in the game. I am ordering my first Excalibur today. Can't wait.

I think you'll be happy with the Leupold. I have mine mounted in Leupold steel rings and it's stayed zeroed since I put it on the Phoenix. I had 3 scope failures over the years and finally switched to the Leupold in 2010. 5 deer so far, and all have been good hits and short blood trails. I am sure ...

Spoke with Danny today about ordering a Phoenix or an Ibex. Mine will be coming with a Leupold on it from Danny also.

What if we don't want to "get along" or sing kumbaya??

Looking at buying a Phoenix. The package comes with the Varizone multiplex scope. I hunt some very low light, so I am wondering if I should look at the Lumizone, or something else. Any recommendations?

Thanks.
