range finder?

I'm doing some shooting with my new exomax[incredably accurate]-and made a few observations-out to 30 yards it shoots bang on the money-after that-even another 10 yards it starts to drop -maybe 4''-6 ''so that tells me I should pretty well restrict any hunting to 40 yards or less-and given the traje...

I'm just thinking-if field points punched through 16"'of styrofoam-what would a razor sharp broad head do on a well placed back of the shoulder shot on a deer,moose or bear at that range?

This guy has used a crossbow for years-and he was impressed[so was I,to say the least].The bolt,with a target point, punched right through 16'' of styrofoam.My guess is it would do the same with a broadhead on a deer,and I don't think I'd be afraid to try a shot on a moose,either[somewhere I saw a v...

cocking lever

Has anybody ever used a cocking lever for their crossbow?It seems to be a reasonable option for target shooting[obviously the rope puller being better for hunting]I'd be interested if anybody has any experiance with them-or has plans for making one.Its got to be a very simple mechanical device ,much...

you can't hurt cast iron-justwash it WITHOUT detergent,wipe dry, lightly coat with oil and put away to cook another day.The worst that can happen is you have to reseason it-coat with oil and bake all night in a moderate oven.I picked up an old cast iron waffle iron-the kind that sits in a ring and y...
