All fasteners and allen wrenches included.Just remove the Excalibur scope mount and replace with this ,after moving the ar...

No.The best for general purpose. Just watch the glue and keep jig clean with solvent.Can't beat it for crossbow flat nocks.

wheelie wrote:$10 dollars for shipping. All works out about the same everywhere up here.
Works best to order more than just the S5. Then they combine shipping Order enough and the shipping is free

Re: New Cocking Device by TenPoint

I'm sure it will work fine for the first few months. I'm worried what happens when it gets dirty and shows wear.

Re: New Cocking Device by TenPoint

I am not a fan of new stuff but that I like. But.... how long before retractor quits working just like tape measures. Think I will stick with my ropes unless I hear the warrenty is for life. Then I would have to weight in the cost and decide. Good idea because I do find the rope to be a bit of a pa...

Re: Vertical bow vs. crossbow accuracy

I KEEP SAYING OVER AND OVER " A CROSSBOW SHOOTER WITH A BENCH REST, USING A REAL GOOD SCOPE VS A COMPOUND SHOOTER" WHO WILL WIN ??? I know that if both were shot off hand the GOOD compound shooter with the right equipment would win. I say GOOD shooter,because if both were beginers I believ...

Re: Vertical bow vs. crossbow accuracy

Glue for fletching

Does anyone have any tips on how to apply a decent bead of glue on the vanes used for fletching. I don't know if there are any special applicators out there. More likely then not I make a mess of it. Maybe just practice and a steady hand.

Re: Vertical bow vs. crossbow accuracy

I have to admit that I am a real coward. I have 9 crossbows and have yet to try an off hand shoot. It's a top of line crossbow, a good rest, scope and matched arrows, and I do pretty good. A heck of a lot better than I did shooting a long bow and then compound for many years. Of course I realize tha...

Re: Vertical bow vs. crossbow accuracy

Does this make a difference? NO one target 4" bullseye. Use 1" round dots or squares placed approx. 6" apart. One arrow per dot. You have to hit a small target, not aim at a big one.
