Re: Just for curiosity, what is the maximum range of an Exom

Twice I did that in a feild, once by accident. About 70 degrees.
I could see the arrow drop, don't look up, look striaght ahead, it hit about 250 yards out. The ground sucked it right up. :)

Re: need help finding a crossbow

Speed is over rated. Go with something you can cock by hand if you forget the cocking aid in your car. I have a 175# I can cock it by had but don't do it all the time hard on the fingers but if I forget the aid my hunt is not wasted or have to try for a second shot.JMO.

Re: open sights, red dots or scopes ?

I keep thinking of doing the same, going back to factory sights. At one time I could traget shoot out to 50 yards. But with the need to tinker I tried a scope and played with that. But now I have the itch to tinker........... :lol: :lol:

Re: 22 vs 20 inch bolts

I have made both, did not find one better than the other.
The differance in weight was about 20g.Not even 1" lower POI at 20 yards.
I don't like having the broad head sticking past the stirup when moving through the bush, so I went back to 20".

Re: True confession

I know what you mean, seems like the deer is just an excuse to get out.
One time a bird almost flew in to my face. :lol:
Being able to sit out in the forestis something to be greatfull for! Though I do enjoy butchering a deer. Which I still hope tp do. :lol:
