Re: Does the matrix bulldog 400 take the triggertech?

The triggers are interchangeable between the Matrix models and the Bulldog 400.

Everything you used for your 405 set up will work on the BD400.

Re: ??? Spitfire Shooters ???

I used Spitfire 100s for years with my vertical bow with great results and no failures. My Excals are the bigger bows 400/405/405/380 and I do band them, just because. As noted previously, the practice heads vary slightly in weight, but they seem to fly the same as superglued "real" Spitfi...

Re: 2017 WI black bear

Thanks. It was a little disappointing as I had a bear that we figured was 500-550+lbs on camera for a month straight and then a couple weeks before my season opened he, and most of the other bigger bears, just disappeared. I was really focused and wired up for that one, but it wasn't to be. AND I re...

Picture posting/hosting/storage

I am obviously behind the learning curve here. With photo(scum)bucket now not a viable option for uploading pictures, what is the general consensus as the best format/site to use to upload, and/or store and upload photos to other websites? Is there any option to just upload from my computers stored ...

Re: Acorn crop?

Large acorn crop in NW WI too.

So much so that it really impacted my bear hunting.

I did get a nice 310 lbs bear, but many of the larger bears were pulled off the baits the two weeks before the season started.

That and a bumper crop of blueberries and blackberries.

No link back to the home page Peter :(

X2 on this, AND I noticed that there are not any MSRPs on the accessories on the home page.

Still more tweeks/updates coming I'm sure. :wink:

Re: Ex-Shox I like 'em!

Wes,

I've been thinking about trying a set of these, two questions:

1) Have you shot through a chrony to see what the speed difference is? (or have you felt you noticed any speed difference?)

2) How easy was the install. I understand one problem is that they have a tendency to fly off.

Thanks

Re: 2017 seasons goals?

Having never shot ANYTHING with a crossbow, this year my goals are: 1) Hoping my 75+ year old friend who borrowed my 380 and shot a buck last year, does it again this year! It was a thrill for both of us last year and he's excited about trying it again this year which is great. 2) I have a WI bear t...
