Re: Looking for input on the Caudwell Deadshot Fieldpod

Re: Attaching Stock on Matrix

So I figured out the easy (temporary) fix was to take a relayer stock off of one of my other bows and put it on the 405. The relayer fits and uses a different hole. This is temporary. As stated by SC, screw for the Matrix is a 10/32 by 2 inch long on the front. So to tap up I would have to go to a 1...

Attaching Stock on Matrix

So I swapped the trigger on my Matrix for a Trigger Tech and had no problems getting everything apart installing the new the new trigger.

Re: Stripped Screws

You can drill it and use easy out just take your time you will succeed Thanks for all the tips. Ultimately I succeeded by drilling a pilot hole and using an extractor: http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r719/Joe_Miedema/P1300899_zpsc84fc3e4.jpg I am sure the other methods would have worked as well...

Stripped Screws

Trying to install my new Triggertech and one of the 3/32 allan screws holding the scope mount to top of the trigger assembly has stripped. Any suggestions on a removal strategy?

Still have lots of snow

So I went up to our camp today today to try and bring my RTV home. It has been buried in the snow since December.

It is an aftermarket trigger that increases accuracy and reduces string serving wear. Involves removing and replacing the factory trigger.
