I JUST GOT A ZIP STRIP FROM DURAVANE-SUPER TOOL !!! IT WILL CLEAN A SHAFT IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS
LS

I SHOOT A 165 LB -1998 EXOCET AND HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. WOULD THERE BE ANY DIFFERENCE IN USING 2216 SHAFTS RATHER THAN THE RECOMMEND 2117'S (WHEN PURCHASED)BOTH 20 INCHES AND SHAFT WEIGHT IS THE SAME (XX75'S)I KNOW THE 2216 IS VERY SLIGHTLY STIFFER. ALSO WHAT LENGTH VANE DOES EXCALIBUR SUPPLY WITH T...

WHAT IN YOUR OPINION IS THE BEST SET UP FOR A 2216 20" bolt? IE: SHAFT, INSERTS, VANES OR FEATHERS? ,OFFSET OR HELICAL?, FOC AND WEIGHT , STYLE AND BRAND OF HEADS ?? SEEMS LIKE WERE ALL SHOOTING THE SAME XBOWS (EXOCET 200 OR 165) BUT I HAVE BEEN SEEING SO MANY COMBINATIONS THAT IT GETS CONFUSIN...

MY BUDDY PERRY FINALLY GOT HIS FIRST BUCK AND ALMOST DESTROYED IT WITH HIS LACK OF FIELD DRESSING KNOWLEDGE-WE TRIED TO EXPLAIN HOW BUT TO NO AVAIL-DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO BUY AN EXCEPTIONAL CD OR DVD -MAYBE THAT WILL WORK FOR HIM.
THANKS JP

I WENT NUTS LOOKING FOR SCREW IN NOCKS FOR FLETCHING BOLTS. WE'VE ALL HEARD NECESSITY IS THE :wink: MOTHER OF INVENTION! HERE'S A SIMPLE ONE. TAKE A FEW SHORT BROADHEAD ADAPTERS ,PUT THEM IN A VISE,SCRIBE A LINE DOWN THE CENTER OF THE FLAT TOP AND CUT DOWN TO DESIRED DEPTH WITH A DOUBLE THICKNESS HA...

Just got back from a 350 mile trip.Itook my new lone wolf and Perry took his new viper summit.Well I gotta' tell you that I never laughed so much in my life!Perry won't let me show the pictures?-My lone wolf was a pleasure.No noise and easy carry not to mention set up was no effort.Perry on the othe...

i have been using the origional ez fletch for many years now -i inquired to find out if the 4degree arms would fit the tool -i got a no answer-but looking at the pictures nothing looks any different- do any of you fellas know differently?-is the new ez fletch pro any different than the origional?? t...

To groundtrout and others: all suggestions were taken into account and checked and still the shaft is hitting nock right.I shot a bolt with no fletch and the bend is the same but more severe-The point does hit my intended target but I don't like the nock end position as this could lead to a potetial...

at 15yds my shaft is entering the target nock right-using xocet 165-2117 -125 grn heads-made sure shaft was dead center on rails-string not cocked left or right. can i increase the brace height to make a correction??
thanks jp

How are you fellas resting your x bow on the lone wolf while waiting for
some action?? They make a bow rest and a gun rest but nothing I found for a x bow.Will the seat bar support the x bow weight? How have you modified your stand?
thanks LS

While I had my post going I went and took a look at both the viper ss and the Lone Wolf sit and climb.----Lone Wolf,better quality metal, better construction,viper too manywelds----LoneWolf,better cable,better cam lock system,less weight by almost 3 lbs. overall.Folds flatter,less bulky-I checked ou...

Thanks to all for replys on my stand choice topic. I haved narrowed my
pick down to the summit viper and lone wolf sit and climb-which one would be your choice and why-cost is not an issue!
THANKS, LS

OK GUYS -HERE'S A TOUGH ONE! WHO MAKES THE BEST ,LIGHTEST
AND MOST SECURE CLIMBING TREE STAND?? AFTER ALL MY YEARS ON THE GROUND I NOW HAVE TO GET IN A TREE. THE PROPERTY I AM HUNTING JUST DOESNT ALLOW IT-HARDEST PLACE I EVER HUNTED!
THANKS,LS

Good morning fellas,
