Experience with Nikon Aculon rangefinder?

Does anyone have the Nikon Aculon rangefinder?

The local Cabelas has them on sale at $139.99 for a while.

Re: Cutting a new slot in the Matrix scope mount

My problem is that I needed to move the scope further to the front cuz I couldn't get the eye relief at a comfortable, useable point on my Ibex crossbow even when the factory scope was mounted as far forward as the mounting rings would allow. I had to literaly move my head backwards (and get no chee...

Re: Mission Crossbow

I shot a Mission 320 at a local store before I bought my Ibex. It was quiet. Handled well. I was attracted to the ability to change strings without a press. Probably would have ended up with one except I had so many points and gift cards for my local Cabelas who sells Excalibur but not the Mission l...

Re: The straight goods on Bowtech and Excalibur

All the replies and viewpoints are interesting. I've worked for a few companies over the years that have been bought out. I'm trying to think of any long established company, with great products and a good customer base, that was bought out and things got actually better. (start up companies with ne...

Re: How do you find your arrow after the shot?

Even when under leaves or grass, the illumination of the lighted knocks will sometimes cause a glowing or reflection that can be seen.

Re: O.T. Gander Mountain going anti hunting

That's is a big rumor and it has been going around for years. GM is not anti-hunting. (excepty maybe for the prices they charge... :mrgreen: ) There was a reason they removed the mounts.

Re: some tests ive been running on the quieting the exomax.

Do all versions come with the S5 system installed?

Any idea how much of a reduction they give?

Re: Best tripod/bipod/other for Equinox/Matrix 380 crossbow

I use Cabelas shooting bipod/tripod. The third leg easily screws off. It fits well in my blind, is lightweight and stable.

Its not traditional, it gets caught on sticks and personally I find it ugly. I know many of you love thumb...

Re: what happened

I'm curious. Maybe I'm missing something. Why did you wait 45 min before your started to track? To give the deer time to lay down and die. If you start tracking too soon and the deer is mortally wounded but still alive, you run the risk of it getting up and running off and you having to track it th...
