Re: Bolt Cutter Broad Head
After reading this review, I'd appreciate comments from Axiom owners on what's the best bolt / broadhead combination for hunting because I'll soon be buying a dozen custom made bolts with firenocks installed. Thanks for your help, NH Review Statements: The arrow combination that it preferred the mos...

Re: Old bow hunter gonna try the Axiom
Thanks Maine Hunter! I'm really looking forward to trying it out! So far I've determined that in addition to the xbow, I'll need Boltcutter broadheads, Dalton wax, Rail snot, a good target, and an Excalibur stringing aid. Anything else ????????

Re: Old bow hunter gonna try the Axiom

When I hurt my shoulder and couldn't use my bow any more I built a couple of long distance rifles and hunted long distance to maintain the hunting challenge. Took 1 Whitetail at 580 yds and 1 with a neck ...

Re: Old bow hunter gonna try the Axiom
Would be interested in learning more because I just ordered the S5 suppression kit and also a Sims Limbsaver kit. I want this thing as quiet as possible but not if it's going to reduce velocity. Is there a certain distance that the S5 dampers should be set back from the bow string? Also, will I need...

Re: Old bow hunter gonna try the Axiom
Thanks for the warm welcome and for the information!! You've already saved me a lot of money that I thought I would have to spend after reading reviews on this crossbow!

Old bow hunter gonna try the Axiom
I'm a 57 year old bow hunter that was forced to put down my compound bow about 12 years ago due to shoulder problems. Until Texas recently made bow hunting legal, I thought my string hunting days were over so I'm planning on buying an Excalibur Axiom to hunt this year. Any advice on what bolt / broa...
