Replies: 10
Views: 4735

Motto Excalibur recommends a series 22 carbon, a 2213, 2216, or 2219 aluminum. These shafts have an outside diameter of .34375 inch. A 1918 shaft would have a diameter of .296875. That is a rather large difference. This could cause some serious problems. I don't know if it would happen, but, if the ...

I am not sure I understand exactly how you measured your tiller. I do know that twisting the string has an equal efffect on both limbs, it will not change one and not change the other. Twisting the string will increase the brace height(if you can call it that on a crossbow) and will increase the til...

I think I could make either, whatever is best for other folk. If it were a poll, I would probably go with the August 15-21 dates.

AW I have loused up a lot of B-50 flemish strings I made for my recurves trying to use a hair dryer. :oops: Please let me know how you do it if you get it to work. I can't help but think it is a good idea. 8) The closest I came to getting it to work was to put the string under a lot of tension with ...

I just bought a Vixen from bj. I got it on the 18th of this month. I am very pleased and impressed with the Vixen. :D Just as a point of reference, my godson has a top line compound that is rated at 308 fps IBO. That means it will shoot 308 fps at 70 pounds draw weight and 30 inch draw length and no...

It is where my wife and I plan to stay. We will likely stay in one of our big tents, queen size air beds, propane stoves, groun...

Replies: 4
Views: 2145

In 50 years of shooting longbows, recurves, compounds, and now crossbows, I have found that if I really work at it, dedicate myself to it, I can get vanes to shoot just as accurately as feathers. I can use reasonable care and get feathers to fly as well as the best setup with vanes. If it were my ch...

Whether it be Ohio or Ontario I really don't care. What I think we really need to do is set a date. Also, just as important, find out what folk want/need in where they want to stay. My wife and I are into camping. We may come on a motorcycle pulling an equipment trailer. We may just drive up and bri...
