Re: I'm pretty sure I need one of these
Here's the criminal code definition of "crossbow". The device doesn't have a bow, so you should be good to go, even if it fits the definition in other respects. That is, if you really, really want one! 84(1) In this Part, "cross-bow" means a device with a bow and a bowstring moun...

Safe Storage For Crossbows and Other Stuff
When Jean Chretien and Allan Rock came up with the Firearms Registry in Canada, they contemplated including crossbows in their registry. The PAL card even had crossbows listed as on possible item that could be approved. So, for those of us in Canada who own crossbows, maybe it's wise to think of our...

Re: In Three Months
I have to admit that I was worried for him that he would get hung up in Vancouver....either that he got separated from his gear, or that the airport circus prevented him from making connecting flights.
Things must have worked out for him, or by now he'd be posting in a lathered up rage.

Re: Deer meat
Joe Your post made me chuckle. I was raised on a farm. We had our own pigs, cattle and chickens....and lots of deer. My sandwiches for school were deer meat, and I'm pretty sure that the rest of the kids had the same. Everyone sold what was raised and ate deer. That changed after I left home. Then m...

Re: The sky is not falling
My observation to young people who were planning to enter as self employed in my profession, was this.
Anyone who will be self employed will have an a$$hole for a boss. Can anyone explain to me what a holiday is like? Sorry, Off topic.

Having your parcels delivered to the neighbor’s trash bin would sure be annoying for you.
Did you ever consider, though, how annoying it might be for your neighbor? Maybe you need to think about making your own bin a bit bigger?

Re: Well i bit the preverbal bullet
your bow has high level energy. you can use that up by shooting light arrows faster. Or, you can shoot heavier arrows as fast as "normal" bows. So, it depends on what you plan to hunt. If you have a hummingbird season in your area, and that is going to be your target species, go for the fl...

Re: Happy Memorial Day
Does anyone know when the date for Memorial Day was assigned? Why was this date chosen? Countries with a British tradition recognize 11 November, and that date was the date the Armistice took effect, ending WWI. The purpose of these separate days is the same, I think. Since WWI was a shared experien...

Re: OT: Reintroducing Canada's Long Gun Registry
Nog If the rules aren't clearer than the news release sets out, they have left a loop hole. It doesn't require approval of the "Registry" for a holder of a PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence) to borrow a firearm. Now, before i lend my shotgun, I want a damage deposit. I want full mark...

If I ever manage a trip to Europe, that’s one place I will visit.
It helps to explain why Canadian troops were chosen for Dieppe, as hopeless and futile an exercise that it was.

Re: OT: Moose Hunt Giveaway!
In 1989 I did a Yukon sheep hunt. We travelled on horseback. I prepared for the hunt by running, and I could keep up with guides when we went on foot. I didn’t prepare for the horseback riding. I didn’t have access to a horse so I could toughen up my leg, groin, butt, and back muscles. I didn’t have...

Re: Adding weight to an arrow
I seem to remember someone saying that some weights were stackable. In other words, the male threaded end would thread into the back of another weight.
If that’s true, how could you tighten the union? Doesn’t seem like any wrench could work?

Re: Laser ranging bow sights
Thanks, wheelsquad.
Norm, your point about weight and bulk is valid. However, I have vision issues which compel me to look for any optical benefit I can get.

Re: Laser ranging bow sights
I've handled both the Garmin x1i and the Burris Oracle X. I preferred the Burris in every way. Well, you are a long ways ahead of me. I haven’t even touched either one! It sounds as though you didn’t get a chance to test them on a bow. What brings you to your conclusion?? Thanks for your input.
