Topic: What kind of glue?

I noticed the directions on my SuperGlue say "Do not use on flourocarbons..."

Does that mean one should NOT use SuperGlue to glue the inserts in Carbon arrows?

Anybody ever used SuperGlue for this on Carbon arrows?

To follow up, I just put two 100 grain Wasp Boss shots into the same hole at 32 steps. They were perfectly centered in the target circle both 1" low. I will leave the sights right where they are now. I think I am ready to hunt now. Now all I need is for a doe to come and stand still and broadsi...

You really have to wonder what he thought of the removable target area and bullseye!

Apparently, that oddity was not foremost on his mind! :shock:

How about the Gold Tip Laser II Carbon 22's that come with the Excalibur "Right Stuff" package--anyone have any experience with them? Are they tough enough to last? I have had two heads (field tip and Wasp Boss) pop out of them. But I guess I was just shooting too close to the target. (20 ...

I really appreciate everyone's comments and experience. Thanks especially for those who commented on the Wasp Boss (the broadheads I already have). I will back up to about 30 yards today and shoot the Wasps some more to see if the POI is any different from the field tips and if so, I will adjust my ...

Jackhunter: I just got the Exomax and it does have the accuracy claimed for it. It is a lot more accurate than my old PSE Crossbow, but more than that is the trajectory--this thing shoots so fast and flat that for all practical purposes it shoots a straight line out to about 25 yards. Of course I re...

Tom: I too believe that one should know exactly where the arrow will impact at a given range before one takes a shot at any living creature. That is why I asked the question. I thought that those with lots of experience could tell me which broadheads correspond closely with field tip POI--so that I ...

Bill T.:

So, besides the dissipater pads--what can you put on an Excalibur Exomax to make it more quiet without losing more than 20 fps?

Bill: What do you use on your Exomax strings?

Difference btwn field tips and broadheads POI

Bill Troubridge says in his intstructional video that the 100 grain Wasp Boss broadhead flys about the same as the 100 grain field tips included in his "Right Stuff" accessory package. Can I expect the Wasp 100 grain Boss 3-blade to have the same Point Of Impact as the field tips? Are ther...

bstout and wabi: I managed to get the FO sight zeroed yesterday (Thanks, Wabi!) so I think I will try it on deer with the FO sight. I will take a shot only if it is light enough to be sure of a clear shot and only if it is under 40 yards. I'm thinking 35 yards may be my limit until I shoot this Exom...

Wabi: Excellent Point about not being able to see twigs and small vines when the light is low. Scopes can sometimes make these things disappear from view in low light. And it is something to watch out for even when gun hunting with a scope--that you are not taking a shot through brush that you canno...

Adjusting the Fiber Optic sight

I just bought an Exomax and got it sighted in for elevation. But it is still shooting a little to the right. I figured that if I want the impact to move to the left a little, I should move the front sight to the right. So, I did. But did I figure that correctly? Does moving the pin to the right caus...
