Excalibur Crossbow Forum

This seems to defy the laws of physics. The only way I can see the xbow bolt dropping faster is due to it decelerating faster (from air resistance)......and this is probably the case with a shorter arrow which has a lower "ballistic coefficient"......as is the case with long and short bull...

Now that Im getting older, ladder stands suit me just fine. I always used to use a climber but now, once the ladder stand is set up, I save time, its less strenuous, and there has been no noticable difference in a deer sensing me. Go for it, I think you will be satisfied.

My prediction is that this is a good thing for you. Dont be bitter and start looking for something better. Two years from now I want you to look back and see if I was right. Been there, done that! Good Luck to you!

I also am considering the Mueller scope on one of my crossbows (I have one on order).....I have a illuminated 2x7 on a shotgun and it is an EXCELLENT scope. There is nothing wrong with the Excalabur Vari-zone......I love them also, but the illuminated dot on Mueller is so-o-o- nice! I dont think you...

What ever happened to the WD-40 solution to eliminate creep and reduce pull? It has worked for me!

Does any one know the effect of a dry fire with and without the bars? It seems to me that the bars might lesson the fracture effect of the limbs or other parts. Thanks!

To Canadian Hunter......Another guy in the know. He has good experience with this phenomenon. Shooting up or down, the effect of gravity is the same.

Woody,
Arrow Flinger needs to go back to "Physics 101". Please dont use the "common sense" approach. ( eg. a brick will hit the ground faster than a penny). The laws of gravity are always right and my previous post explains it as well as I can!!

The amount will depend on the distance,and I think that the general concensus was that a shot from 15 feet up in the air,out to the normal 15-20 yard range,it would not be necessary to compensate at all. Does everyone agree? Bob. Yep, I agree......Thats the practical answer!.......You calculate dro...

The Varizone is by far superior due to its adjustment for each crosshair to be accurately on at 20, 30, 40 etc. yards. No other scope that I know of has that feature. Over the life of your equipment, the cost per year is minimal. Definitely buy the Varizone. There should be no difference in the qual...

To all interested.....These are on Ebay right now. Lets see what the interest is and what they bring.

Thanx GaryL, Mark and DOXnut and all others for all your help!

OK, The pics are back on!!

Do you think that they may be designed to be fired in the open position,and they would reverse if you had to pull it out of the animal? Sure doesn't seem to be any advantage to firing them in the forward postion!(may even be dangerous to handle) Bob. Yea Bob, I was thinking of that also.....but how...

Is anyone out there familiar with the pictured broadheads? (I hope the images show up) I would like to know who made them, when and how they are designed to open.......I dont see any way to put a rubber "o' ring on them. Thanks for your help! :D bill http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y155/62madd...
