Re: Ti64.com Fastener Kit Review

Dang, was afraid of that. Do you think Ti would have or could make the necessary bolts as a side order?

Re: Ti64.com Fastener Kit Review

I have a 355 w brakes and was planning on getting a Ti.64 bolt kit for it. Question to all, will the bolts in the Ti kit work w the stirrup kit given out by Gaston at Boo fest? Wondering if they will be too short?

Re: What is your dream hunt?

This is a bow forum BUT you did ask! My TWO dream hunts would to be to take and elk and a bear (any bear, but a Grizz would be nice!) with my Custom 5 shot Ruger Bisley in 45 colt. Pistol worked over by Hamilton Bowen, new 5 shot cylinder, reworked the lock work, new 5 1/2" bbl and custom stock...

Re: Matrix 355 Trigger

WVN, There are no pros or cons to single or two stage triggers, just a matter of preference. I had a stint in the military where most everything has a two stage trigger so was used to it. In case you did not know, with a two stage trigger the initial trigger pull has some easy pull to it, just finge...

Re: Back preservation

Had to laugh reading your post, at first read I thought you meant you were able to cock your 405 by grabbing the string with your hands and pulling it back. I though Holy S**t, this guy must be a gorilla! Then I realized that you meant using the cocking rope, dang near had me feeling inadequate ther...

Re: Need help with Spitfires

NM, I've shot spitfires for years with no issues with blades opening at the shot. How did you verify that this is happening? Just curious, you say it's happening so it's happening just wondering how you verified it. Shoot it through sheet of newspaper at 10 feet or something? NAP does make specific ...

It would take a heck of a buck to knock him out of the top spot on that wall (nice wall too!), congrats!

Re: Sneak peak...

Outback, I would be interested in hearing how you plan to hang your bow in your stand with this rig as that is probably my biggest concern. I'm sure it can be overcome but it is something I think about. When I'm setting in the tree the only thing I like in my hands when not shooting is a good book! ...

Re: Trigger Tech Round 2 - The Single Stage

Nog, my first TT was a 2 stage for my Equinox, when I bought it I wanted to get the target trigger but was a little concerned about getting excited in the stand and havin' a premature "shot" if you know what I mean.. I also used to shoot competitively in the Corps, specialized in long rang...

Re: Wabi...i need another grunt call !!!

Just sent Mike payment for one of his brown "Fall" units. Don't know that I NEED another grunt call (have had my old one for years and years) but this unit is just too dang purty to pass up! I will admit that after reading the reviews I am going to be mighty disappointed if a big ole' buck...

Re: Matrix 355 Trigger

The trigger on my 355 was acceptable but I'm an admitted trigger wuss and had already experienced the joys of a TT trigger so it was a foregone conclusion that I was getting one for the new 355. I also went with the single stage (first one was a two stage) and really like it. I'm with Hillbilly, sen...

Re: Sneak peak...

I also hang my x-bow from the stirrup while in the tree, don't see any hanging holes! Are you just drilling a hole in it near the center? Without handling one my initial impression is that it is BIG and would hang up and catch on things in the woods. But that is just by looking at it and not using i...

Re: Squeaky Bow

A shot of silicone spray on the inside of your stock can go a very long way to address this. Key is to id where it is coming from. use some talc power or some machinist blue to find the guilty high spot and then knock it down. Just pulling it apart and putting it back together may also take care of ...
