Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I'm going to hunt the evening hunt. Chain the climber. Return before dawn to hunt againthen pack it out when I leave in the morning. I figure not many guys will stumble upon it and have the time to go get the needed tool to steal it. heck I might bump into them if they're that quick.

That is a big bear unless you guys are sitting 10' back LOL! Congratulations! One less I need to deal with in my campsite.

I just ordered some and the install will happen in August. I may need his help. I split the first carbon arrow on my first installation last fall. I'll be more delicate this time.

Thanks. I`ll proceed with caution. I can use the rod to remove the Lumenock from the arrow that`s splintered at least. I know that one isn`t glued in.

Isn`t the original aluminum nock glued in Sproulman. Can you just tap it out with the rod without heating the nock. Sorry keyboard is acting up ...no question marks.

Thanks guys. I might have compromised the carbon when I heat the aluminum nock to remove it but I sure didn`t force it enough to split the arrow. I`ve ordered some new Lumenocks and we`ll see if they fit snug without causing splitting. I wondered about that very issue Foofoo.

Last year I split the carbon express arrow slightly when I installed the Lumenock. I like the lighted nock but I`m not wild about the install. Has anyone had a carbon arrow split with install or is it something I`ve done.

I gave up on cameras. I had a $170 camera swiped last fall. The guy came back three more times (based on tracks in the snow) over the next two months to see if I would put out another camera. I'll hunt the old-fashioned way rather than worry about my cameras.

BTW I've never had tag soup but unless we get some cold weather I'm going to have a double batch to "enjoy".

I'm going down to one purchase next year regardless of tag availability. There are other activities I enjoy almost as much but this has become an OBSESSION!

I hunt a property in zone 80. I bumped one deer on the walk into my stand. Only yearlings on the camera at a feed site. The hunters on the adjoining property didn't do well in the controlled hunt. I've hunted this spot about 6 times. In zone 82A I had a doe blowing at me the first day of the gun hun...

I have a Cuddieback I really like. No shutter sound and the Black flash really is black. Stay away from UWay cameras. Lots of problems and so so warranty help.

Man that looks painful. Thanks for the reminder to to keep your fingers out of the way. Glad to hear you're back at it. Speedy recovery.

I have the early version of that scope without the speed dial and I've never had a problem with sighting it in.

Hi Folks. I'm looking to order some lighted nocks. I shoot an older bow and I stayed with the factory issued Gold tip II bolt. Does anyone know off hand what inside diameter nock I should order? I don't have a caliper at home.

Thanks for any help.

The Migratory Bird Act is international between Canada, U.S. and Mexico. I was told by an Ontario CO Supervisor several years ago that hunting migratory birds with a crossbow was illegal. Is that only in Ontario? Checking the Canadian regulations it appears crossbows are still illegal.
