Re: old exomag limb ?

The dbars were put on many bows in order to prevent damage to the limbs in the event that the bow it dry fired. Which does tend to happen to all of us at one time or other btw. It seems to help reduce the vibration and I guess reduce the damage to the bow limbs. A new answer to this problem is the s...

Re: Bigredopie Build along

Is that what was in the email. I couldn't read it. With that beautiful grain popping out I really don't want to mark it up. If I really have an unbearable urge to add something later on, it is pretty easy to do.

Re: New Leupold RX-1000i Rangefinder

I just ordered a 1200 myself for myself (really early Christmas present :D ). A couple of the biggest reasons for my upgrade from the bushnell was the size and the red lighted display. When I need it I always seem to have a hard time seeing the info which makes me wonder why I am even carrying it. I...

Re: Bigredopie Build along

Mike, she looks so amazing I am practically speechless. I feel like I am waiting for the unveiling of a fine sculpture or painting. I think I see a few hints of what she will become and I can't wait to see the next step.

How long does she drink in that stain?

It would be a shame if he still had the stand and equipment as he would be in possession of stolen property in excess of $500. In addition to criminal trespass, Down here that is a felony.

Re: Need input on arras

Ok so let's see if I understand this. Wervyn offers half dozen B.E executioners for $56 which you agree is a "spectacular offering". Big John sells the same thing but adds luminocks to each one for an additional $10 /arrow (which btw is at or below cost on those) and the arrows come to aro...

Re: Crossbow case

That is but one of the many reasons why Excalibur bow are truly the top of the line. Grab an Excalibur bow and one of those other bows remove the risers midway through a practice session, put them in a case, then reassemble. See how each bows poi reacts. On my excal a change in poi is more likely at...

Re: Bigredopie Build along

Looks awesome. I just can not see how anyone could stretch a finger or thumb up to the string when you have built such a comfortable home for them out of the forend. It you are bench shooting then even the finger ridge may not stop a wandering digit. Keep up the magic Mike. I am loving every minute ...

Re: My heart My Soul My Wife

I am so sorry to hear about your wife. I couldn't imagine going through life without my soulmate, good times or bad. You need to concentrate on helping her get through these challenges. Take care of her, and yourself, while we will continue to pray for her recovery.

Re: ?? Re Plano Manta ??

You might consider a double rifle case (which would be much more compact) and simply separate the riser and limbs from the rail. It would only take a min or so to put it back together once you reach your destination. From my limited experience you can take the riser off and put it back on without an...
