Excalibur Crossbow Forum

a friend of mine who was a surgeon said a deer could go for 7 seconds with a 100% blood supply to the brain cut off-but how many shots result in a 100% cut off?-and a deer can go a long way in 7 seconds in any case....I've had a couple of guys say they hit a deer in the spine that dropped in its tra...

haven't shot a deer with my crossbow yet-but what is a reasonable distance for a buck to run with a solid double lung shot?

spring bear tends to be lean-some people say a fall bear tastes better-but that is not my experiance.Mind you a fall bear [as long as it isn't on fish]is very nice table fare too-especially after pigging out on berries.I render down the fat into a hard odourless pure white lard-excellent for baking....

try it and the next bear you see will be in serious trouble....

I did a bear roast tonight-seared the roast in a dutch oven,added onions and sliced ginger root -a can of beer ,teriyaki sauce and onion soup mix-salt and pepper to taste,and cooked it covered in a medium oven for 3 hours,served it with mashed potatoes and gravy.....and if that doesn't get you out f...

anybody out for a spring bear yet ?

seasons over-and I;m unlikely to be shooting my exomax for a while-should it be unstrung?

cut up and in the freezer-no one will know-or care how big the horns were,or if there were horns at all...and even less so in the roasting pan

25 years since my dad went home -and I still miss him.Now I've got grand children to take out-not hunting yet-but trout fishing.

The primary deer rut will begin in earnest in the next couple of weeks in my area-and I hope to take my first blacktail with my new exomax.Given a broadside double lung shot-how far would a deer be reasonably expected to go after the hit?[given the usual 1/2 hour wait before followup]

I've been looking at those Costco electric winches-and powering on with a portable jumper cable battery makes a lot of sense.I am also wondering if you took off the steel cable and instead used the winch as a capstan[as suggested] it would work?

I have yet to take an animal with my new exomax,but judging from the trajectory drop past 35 yards,plus the challenge of accurately judging distances past 35 or 40 yards,I think I would want to be pretty certain of my range before I fired a shot-too easy to think it was a 50 yard shot when it was re...

I would think looking down and seeing the red dot of a lazer sight centered on their chest would have a wonderful way of refocussing the attention of any criminal and helping them decide that where ever they were, they don't want to be,and whatever they were planning on doing, deciding not to.....so...

it always comes down to votes-and the anti's won.simple as that.

I;m just surprised someone hasn't come up with a cordless drill attachement for the crankeroo-it would be fine for target shooting
