Re: What arrow weight do you prefer?

I use black eagle zombie slayers with a 150 gr swacker 3 inch cut broad head. Thay weigh about 436 grains. They leave a hole. Not much of a blood trail so far. None of them, probably 5 have gone no more than 20 yards :mrgreen:

Re: Dry fire

Thanks to all for your responses, would have responded before this but have been fighting the worse I had in years since Sunday.
Going to keep my eye on this but will probably end up just getting new limbs. I a little paranoid about a 260 pound cross bow blowing up!

Thanks again

Dry fire

Had a dry fire yesterday on my 380 martrix that was caught by the anti dry fire system. Today I noticed a small chip 6/16 long by 1/16 wide on the left limb where it attaches to the bow. 1. could this have been caused by the dry fire, once again the dry fire system worked. 2. Is it still safe to use...

Re: Can't get in the mood to hunt this year

If u just hunt to kill deer it can sometimes just become the same old thing. Cause really, except 4 really old mature bucks, killing deer is not all that hard. I've killed a bunch, yet every time a 60 pound doe starts walking my way i'm worried she will hear my heat beat and run away. Yep i love kil...

String Twist

Seems every time I add a twist or two on the string of my 380 it changes the POI and I have to adjust my scope. Is this normal or do I just have to shoot it till the string stretches out?
