First buck, a 10 point, taken with an Ibex. Bonus skull cap.
This is my 2nd deer ever, and first buck. My best friend and hunting buddy just bought some property in southern Indiana a couple months ago. He's glad to see it produce a kill for us already. My shot placement was not so great, a very high mid-shoulder shot at only about 25 yards. But because I was...

Re: New Ibex SMF. Stripped tapped hole in the stock assembly
Waif, that was excellent advice! Thanks for the response. It took three toothpick parts to get it to cinch down reasonably tight. I think I will try to make it through hunting season with this temporary solution, and hope that it holds through January. I submitted a question ticket to Excalibur to s...

Re: Serving health and maintenance?
Thanks for the advice so far! I'll look into real bees wax and getting some silicon spray for the rail.
Based on that serving picture above, any reason not to hunt this whole season on that serving? It's safe as long as the string isn't showing, right?

Serving health and maintenance?
Hi everyone! First post, first thread. Been lurking here since I bought my first crossbow a little over a month ago, an Ibex SMF. Background on the bow and performance: it's all stock except for the Fast Flemish string I added about 60 shots ago. I finally got it stretched to where I'm at a 1 1/8&qu...
