Hi J:

What are most of you switching to? Easton Powerbolts? How about the new Easton Firebolts and where can you buy them?

Thanks, Wayne

Interesting point. I had thought about that concept of the chest having to fill up first but in actuality there just was not that much in the chest cavity. Seems to make sense though.

Thanks for the responses. Wayne

Just curious - it seems like all you can get from places now is the GT L2 bolts with the brass inserts. I had been told that the guys that make up the arrows don't use aluminum inserts anymore. What has been your experience comparing the aluminum to the brass inserts? Do you find it better? My exper...

Just got back from a 3 day hunt in Northern Pa. Took a nice doe out of the Doghouse Ground Blind from Ameristep. Never used a ground blind before. Was able to set up a chair (collapsible type for the lawn) and sit back and relax. Plenty of room for the Excalibur. Had many deer come by and never knew...

Often, one looks at a bottle of bleach and wonders, 'Why shouldn't this be mixed with ammonia?' This entry will tell of a few reactions that can occur when bleach and ammonia are mixed in various proportions - the release of chlorine gas is just one of these. In the following sections, the header wi...

Farmer is correct - they are totally unrelated compounds. :roll: Motuna wrote: Bleach on a stump comes from another site www.aldeer.com and the same for pissing in a scrape go to that site and run a search.

Thanks Digger:

That is what I have - the machined riser with the 3 holes. It also came with the Max Zone scope. Wayne

I'm glad to see you're getting passed it aerostarp. I'm the kind of person that forgives but never forgets.

I agree with you. I just really wanted to warn the other members on this forum not to buy from them. For me it is over and done with.

Thanks for your concern. Wayne

Too bad. Maybe it's genetic ... from their home page:

I bet their familly tree is a straight line.

Not exactly sure what you mean but just don't deliberately spray the vanes and back part, especially if you are thinking about re-fletching later I would think. Otherwise I never had any problems.

I use Silicone Spray that you get at any hardware store and spray down my bolts (from tip to base of vanes) and it really helps making removal easy. I did this from my bowhunting days. Don't spray the vanes or the back part of the bolt after the vanes or you will have trouble gripping the bolt for r...

Well at least I now know what the FS stands for in FS Discount Archery - F-----g Stupid.

Well, my FP just came in today's mail. Guess what - they sent me 1 dozen 150 gr. FP instead of the 100 grs. I tried to have them resend me. Are they the WORST or what???????? I give up - So much for a $100 order. Don't buy from these people.
