Hiyas all. Been a long time since I posted here. Been out of hunting for 3 yrs now and getting back into it next year. I know that Boo does the custom strings and I will be ordering one again for my Phoenix (if he still makes them)when I go that route in buying another crossbow, but is there anyone ...

Hiyas all and ty for the feedback. I did look up the price for the Crossbow King and it is more than reasonable. I may also try the Mackenzie crossbow version as that target has 4 shooting sides and will up the life of the target tremendously.

I will be using broadheads, specifically 100 gr Wasp Boss BH to shoot into this target. Do I still go with the Spyder or Morrell bag target or am I looking at something totally different?

Hiyas all. Hope everyone had a good 08 and is having a great 09 deer hunt. It has been awhile since I have been on. Had to sell my Phoenix (which took my first deer with any kind of bow; 10 pt buck at 12 yds, deer went 25 yds and dropped dead.) Financial difficulties and all. I had purchased the Mck...

Hiya all: It happened today at 3:15 pm. It was a ten point buck at 15 yds. I got pictures but they are not developed yet. Deer weighes 220 lbs dressed. It went 30 yds and collapsed. It was a perfect double lung shot and I done it offhand too. I am pretty happy. I will get the pictures done up and th...

I have seen 12 deer so far in the archery season yet not one of them have given me a chance to put an arrow into them. Anyways, I just wanted to share the experience I had with the last buck that came out. I will start off with the first buck that I seen this year. It was a massive bodied buck; not ...

Hiya again all: I have not shot anything this year but I have seen 7 deer (five does and two bucks-the one was a brute in body and antler) I have two doe tags in the area I am hunting so when my friend and I went out I informed him of this. He managed to put an arrow into a doe at 30 yds. He said wh...

Oh my God man that is nuts!!! Put me in a big tree twenty feet off the ground and I would have taken the shot. Whoa!! At that height I would have scared that moose away with the sudden warm, stinky bubbling from my shorts LOL.

I believe sumner or crazyfarmer did a test and he shot 431? bolts before he had to reserve. You can find the post on it here within the site. As for noise, I think that before the deer hears a noise from the Equinox the bolt is already in the ground and the deer is on its way to its death. As far as...

Isn't it amazing how much compound bow hunters hate crossbow hunters??!! I think I could even use the word despise. WOW!! I was on the HuntingNet website and seen just how badly they really hate those of us that use crossbows. As far as I am concerned, you get kills with both a compound and crossbow...

I would have to say the standard fibre optic sight that comes with your bow. I know that they are rugged and work in almost all conditions but absolutely last light. If I didn't get such an amazing deal on a DropZone that my friend was selling I would have stayed with the f/o sight forever.

OK all. I am not making this up and I am not taking credit for this whatsoever. Now I know you all will laugh at this because when the guy was about to tell me this he said I would laugh. I said I wouldn't but ended up laughing in his face (behind a quickly raised hand actually) Here goes: A long ti...

Is this too low? I am wide open to deer coming into my shooting area and basically right on them as well when they come out to my shooting area. I wanted to go higher than this but the range I have to shoot is maybe 17 yrds max. (yes I use yrds) If I go higher I am afraid of having to take too steep...

Well, it was almost a disaster in every way lol. I never even slept the night before so I was up about 20 hours when I climbed into my tree stand. I got turned around going into my stand, so thank God it was a full moon because that is how I found my spot. I almost fell out of my tree stand about 20...

Starchoice doesn't carry that channel either and after asking (and my friends asking) nothing. Cogeco cable does carry it. I will be switching to them asap just so I can get that channel
