That's exactly it!!! You can't steer without hitting the crossbow limbs especially with a Exomax mounted that way. And it takes up your whole rack! That is why I had to pull a "Macgiver" lol.... and invent something more practical. Also if you are going through any thick brush or mud your ...

I have made one that holds 2 crossbows on the back of my Polaris rock solid!!! I have tried to market it with Kolpin and they were actually interested for a while but that is still pending. I have actually even tried geting the marketing dude here to look at it since it was specifically designed for...

You need to switch from corn to hay. Best would be a round bale but square is fine for easier transport. Stick with an alphalfa/clover mix if you can get it. Or build a feeder and get the corn off the ground.

No shot Sherlock!!

Well I started off my Saturday morning sitting in one of my favorite stands. Until I heard twigs snapping behind me and got ready for a shot. Good thing I didn't!!! At 8:45am of all times another hunter that I have given permission to out of the goodness in my heart decided he would go walking aroun...

I just heat the carbon around the base of the nock just enough to melt the glue and then grab the nock with a pair of pliers and twist slowly but firmly until it free's up. Then pull it out. If you hear the carbon start to crackle you need more heat. If you are unsure go to the bow shop and let the ...

Visa Versa! Your property sounds very similar to where I hunt! By the sounds of it you are on a buck haven! That buck will travel long distance around this time of year but I have found he will always return to the swamp to bed! By the next week or two when he will be breeding his does you will prob...

Hey! I have already posted for Raydaughty that it is very important (to me anyway) to get the glare of your blind by mudding it. If you have done this and the deer still spook try leaving the blind there or something that has a similar shape. Also this has worked for me! Try camoflaging the blind wi...

I agree! You need to mud the blind! Fill a bucket with some dirt from the corn fill and make a mud slurry with some water. Use a paint brush and slap on the slurry all over the blind. Let it dry then rinse off the heavy areas and dust off the light mudded areas. This should take care of the glare. I...

Wolfsden sells them and I have put them on all my bolts! Heat the nock on your carbons pull it out carefully and stick the Lumenocks in! I love them and the bolts fly great at 20 yards! They do splinter the end of the carbons a tiny bit but nothing major! I have shot the same bolt at least 10 times....
