Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Hey, Paparock ... I bought an Excalibur Exomax about a month ago. Was shooting a Mathews Switchback, a Martin Hunter recurve, and a Bear Royal Safari longbow lately, but due to complications from a carpal tunnel condition and surgery, plus a torn right bicep, I got a medical permit for crossbow hunt...

Hey, Tye ... That's it! YOUR decision, for YOUR life. That's the way it had to be. You had to figure it out. I knew you could. Sky's the limit, bud. Do your best, consider the counsel of those who have gone before, and lead those who follow. You're on your way, man. Best of everything, Tye. Grizz

Hey, ReadyEddie ... I'm glad to hear that you don't plan to sell that bum Horton to some unsuspecting soul. When I read that after thinking about it and talking it over with your wife you had decided you'd rather take the loss than do that, I was proud of you. That really says something about who yo...

Man, that is a tough problem. The frequent failure of modern businesses to provide solid customer service is a symptom of a deeper moral sickness in society; if the owner(s) or controller(s) of a business concern are people of personal integrity, they will see to it that the business does right by i...

Hey, LeGrand ... I'm new to crossbow shooting, but am an experienced rifleman, so am familiar with scopes and associated matters. Because the Excalibur stock is synthetic and free from movement, and since your scope stayed on, and since the riser and limbs mount securely in two precisely tapped hole...

No problem. Always glad to talk. Saw a juvenile male this morning come out in the soybean field and chase a big ol' doe around a little. He wasn't trying to catch her; he wasn't interested in eating her; it was an act of agression, pure and simple. He's an arrogant little snot ... always has been. I...

Hey, Paparock ... Well, I can't tell you much about which broadheads work best on bears when shot from crossbows, because I'm new to crossbow shooting myself. I am not new to bowhunting, though, or to hunting bears ... I live with bears! Not that I actually fraternize with them, but it feels that wa...

Congratulations on your kill, Matthias! It's a nice picture. Way to go!

Good hunting,

Grizz

Hey, Tye ... I don't know you and haven't responded to any of your posts save this one, but I wanted you to know that I empathize with you, and understand what you are going through and thinking. Personally, I hated high school. I was quite capable of maintaining very high grade point averages, as m...

Man, all of this talk makes me glad I live where it's not so tough (and expensive) to do a little hunting. Here where I live in Eastern North Carolina, we can take six deer per season, four of which may be antlerless, at any time from September 11 until January 1 ... you can kill all six during bow ...

Contrary to lots of common talk, black bear are not hard to kill, if hit solidly in the vitals with bullet or broadhead. That is the key to successful kills in bowhunting, for sure ... an accurate shot with a sharp broadhead from a bow capable of producing adequate penetration. Heavy bows are not ne...

Here in the dear old Tarheel State, an annual Resident Sportsman's License is $60, and for that, you get: 6 deer 2 turkey 2 wild boar 1 bear All small game All upland game All migratory waterfowl All fishing, including designated mountain trout streams, coastal, and ocean Access to State Game Lands ...

Well, that is one wicked looking broadhead, for sure.

They'll sell a lot of 'em just because of the way they look!

I think they should learn to spell "devastation," though.

Or, retain a proofreader ... I doubt the heads are so unique that they "devistate" game!

Hey, Rich ... Way to go on the thoughtful present for your wife. You're on the right path. Better buy her a dream hunt with a prestigious outfitter now, because you sure enough want to do everything you can to encourage her new in her new hobby. Of course, you'll want to accompany her on the hunt, s...

Eat the tenderloins the day of kill, or breakfast next day.

Freeze the backstraps in sections to be used for steak, fry, stew.

Grind everything else and make jerky or sausage out of it.

Deer are plentiful here ... enough to allow such picky doin's.
