Thanks!

For anybody whose recently shipped a compound (vertical) bow within Ontario, what was the shipping cost?

...after many years of searching, I came across an "Astro Daco Scropion 150lb" which has the same limb so I do have a little safety line, but it would no longer the an "orginal". Tom I used to have a Scorpion, given to me by a friend, then I gave it to ol' Digger. My friend went...

Gaston mentioned to me that my top-mount quiver bracket contributes to noise. Has anyone here noticed more noise with their top-mounts?

Ninepointer meets Comfy Bear

It was a pleasure to meet you Snuffbox, and an honour to have you knock me out of the elimination shoot!

Thanks for your confidence, but no 12 yet for me.

Spikes, 4's, 6's, 8's and an 11-point. No 10's either. Did I mention the 9's? I don't find them, they find me!

I'm always on the lookout for suitable scraps of wood, even old drawer faces, to attack with my trusty jigsaw

Things got a bit busy over the holidays, but I finally finished them up last night. These 2 went to a buddy. I sure hope I didn't cause any trouble, because as I was leaving his place the last words I heard his wife say to him were, "You can hang them in the garage, but you are NOT hanging them...

Great, keep them coming! Anything counts if it pre-dates: Micro/Matrix/Vixen II/Axiom/Ibex. Great to see so many of these bows doing what they were born to do!

With all the latest Excalibur offerings we're seeing, I got to wondering how many of us are still shooting a crossbow that's been relegated to the "Previous Models" section of the catalogue? My Excalibur Exocet 165 (the first and only Excal I've owned) has been going strong for 20 years no...

With the evenings long these days, I got on a bit of a roll this week. Two of mine from years past and two (the bigger ones) for a friend. They're just test assembled for now, to be taken apart for final sanding, stain and varnish. It keeps me home and out of the taverns and pinball parlours :lol: h...

Leaves me wondering if early in the season its better to treat standing corn as a bedding area rather than a food source, and adjust strategies accordingly?

OK, some progress. I've discovered that it works in the light, even a lit room, as long as there's light hitting the light sensor. But in the dark it doesn't register any pics (in neither auto or manual shutter) and there's no flash. Been through all the settings. Thanks for the suggestions so far. ...
