Re: Crossbow scope what one

My search brought me to 3 choices. I didn't want illuminated reticle so I looked at Nikon,leupold and zeiss. The Nikon didn't have the speed adjustment so between the leupold and the zeiss I chose the zeiss. I like the reticle having the yardage and it's good out to 75 yards. It was also on sale at ...

Re: Hawks Xb pro 30 or Ziess XB75? Opinions on better choice

I just got a zeiss xb75 from cabelas for 249 on sale. Seems like a nice scope crystal clear. Was looking at the crossbones from leupold but I like the xb75 reticle better and it was 50 bucks cheaper.

Re: Tips for cocking equinox

Thanks again for all the info provided. I'm glad I joined this site. Now I gotta see what works best for me. That dr stirrup thing looks like it would work good. Probably just keep it simple though.

Tips for cocking equinox

I just bought a new equinox and I'm struggling to cock it. I'm only 5'6" tall and I know that works against me. Anyone have any tips to help me? I don't want the hand crank. Thanks!

Re: Fixed vs expandable

I'm using wasp bullet heads this year and they are accurate. Shot a buck with them and he was dead within 30 yards. I like it when they fall over within sight.

Re: Rough safety

Thanks for the reply. At first I thought it was just moisture that froze it was cold that morning. I will spray it a few more times and work it back and forth.

Rough safety

I have an ibex SMf. The other day I shot a buck with it and re cocked it after my first shot. Now my safety lever seems like it has a rough spot in it. I sprayed it with lube and it is better but not like it was. Bow still seems to work like it should anyone have any ideas why it's like that now?
