Re: Wal-mart

Actually, Sam Walton was proud of the fact that what his stores sold was made in America. It was after he died and the kids took over that the company went to hockey sticks. Sam would drive an old pick up, and he wore overalls most of the time. Employees really liked him for the most part, and he wa...

scope question

I know that Vortex is bringing out a new crossbow specific scope. Unfortunately, it is out of my price range. I have a Vortex Viper 2-7x32 scope with a circle plex reticle. Has anybody tried one of these on their setups? According to Paul @ Vortex, figuring 300 fps and a 20 yard sight in for the cro...

Re: Help with first crossbow - Ibex vs. Matrix

I also am new. I bought an Ibex and enjoy it a lot. It is easy enough for me to cock, but my wife is not able to get the string all the way back. If that is the case for you, then the Matrix (I would love a 330 or 355) wouldn't be any different than an Ibex, as you would need to load it for them eit...

Re: Thanks Dan (aka xcaliber) :-)

Way to go on the deer. I am still looking for my first crossbow kill. I certainly enjoy shooting the Ibex, and can't wait for a Dan made string to top it off. If you want frustration in football, be a Cowboy fan. Lots of talent wasted because the owner can't stay out of things. If Jones would leave ...
