Should I buy another ?

Hi all, I bought a Grizzly a few months ago and am really liking it. The balance and feel in hand is awesome. Have added Buggy Bumpers and a Vixenmaster F10 Flemish in Packer Green n Gold. Now I have an opportunity to pickup a used Micro 335 for $550 ? What do you all think ? Is that price a "n...

Re: OK, I Missed But Why

You said you shoot 4-5" groups at 40 yds ? (That is a 2.5" variance on center) Ok, that 35 yard shot was it an estimate or did you spot it with a range finder ? Reason I ask is if that 35 yd (105ft) measurement was at the base of your stand and you climb 20ft your actual shooting distance ...

Looks like an Excal ? What is it ?

Lovin my Grizzly. In the search for knowledge about recurve xbows I came across the item listed below. Looks a lot like an Excal ?

Re: I can't reach the trigger

Actually if you can have someone take a video of you cocking the bow, I think we c o ups figure out what is wrong. Keep it 480x320 size and should be easy to upload to a timeshare site.

Re: I can't reach the trigger

Is it the same string that was on it before you took out the trigger ?

Re: Shot a Buck this afernoon

Why not go out @ midnight with some lights & a few friends? If I was close by I would be the first guy to help you,,,The suspense would just kill me... :) This old man likes the sun to see well. I used to yearn for tracking deer in the dark but I am long over that. LOL Besides this swamp in hug...

Re: OT - crying my eyes out

My heart feels for you. I dread the day I have to say goodbye to my hunting buddy. I think it gets harder each time. :cry:

Hang in there!

Re: I can't reach the trigger

Hi Dennis, I am new here so bear with me as others have far more knowledge in these bows. I recently took my trigger out of my Grizzly, cleaned some rust off the trigger internals, reinstalled the trigger and had no problems. Which makes me wonder. Did anything else change? As an example, did you ch...

Re: Excalibur Customer Service

I emailed customer service and they got back to me within the day. Had no problems on my end. Even received my RMA shipping info in a few hours.

Not to assume anything, but remember its not so much the message as much as how its delivered that is important. :wink:

Re: Feeling giddy -- no more.

I could be wrong but aren't the trigger levers made of anodized aluminum? :?: Just the lever maybe. Apparently the internals are not. Since the safety is part of the trigger, I am wondering if it is even safe to use as I have no idea what the inside of the trigger looks like. I guess as long as the...

Re: Feeling giddy!

Back from my weekend hunting trip. Saw a small doe and that was it. In fact it was sooooo quiet in the woods that I decided to go Grouse Hunting Sunday afternoon. (My Brittany was going stir crazy) lol Saw one bird nailed one bird. But otherwise, seemed earily quiet in the woods. A bit disappointed ...

Feeling giddy -- no more.

Went out last week and sat and saw a little nub but otherwise some grey squirrels and not much else. Tuesday I installed my new ADF and did some sighting in to get her back on target. Bow is now all setup! Shooting good at 20-30 yards. Would never venture to shoot any farther at this time as I am no...
