Re: Just got a Excal M380... wow, very LOUD!!!

Be interesting to see a decibel readout from each of our bows to see what variations we have...

I have a db app on my phone, I'll just sit it next to me when I take a shot next. Be good to get a few different readouts.

Re: Who's using action cameras on their xbows?

I have a spy point Xcel camera that we use for snowmobiling. I haven't mounted it on my bow yet to try out. I will say the videos are nice clear and seem to give a true distance to what you are looking at. The are priced lower then Go Pro and seem to give all the same specs. How do you use the zoom...

Re: Who's using action cameras on their xbows?

I tried a Contour Roam2 mounted on my scope, shot a rabbit at 30m. I will get it uploaded to youtube so you can have a look.

Crossbow Fishing

Have any of you guys used your Excalibur crossbow for fishing? I know you can get the kits for crossbows, but since i have the M380 i'm thinking that's a little too powerful for fishing... ?

What do you guys think?
