Rancid crabtree...that is a great post, thanks a million. Cannot tell you how informative that is... To everyone else, thanks also...reading your stories is kinda taking away some of the worries I had :-) i'm planning on going bear hunting soon, end of May probably, and was wanting to attempt this b...

You or anyone else who may be interested are more than welcome to borrow a dvd I have titled "deer and big game processing" 3 hours long and lots of info. There is nothing they dont cover. Even how to cape a trophy. Thanks for the offer...not exactly sure how I would go about borrowing yo...

So I was wondering...who here butchers their own game?

I ask because I'm looking for guidance really, as I was hoping to butcher my own this year.

Information is pretty tough to come by...and this is not someting I'd enjoy messing up...

Welcome to the forums Steve, just joined up not long ago with the same intro post as you!

Finally went with the Phoenix...for the regular stock (I like not having to release my grip to remove the safety)

Hey guys, thanks for the advice. I was thinking the same thing...didn't exactly want to go and buy more firebolts for the moment (I've spent enough in the last week or so...) :lol: Will be getting a better target soon and will definately be shooting DIFFERENT spots. I had shot my cousins crossbow th...

Shot my Phœnix today and boy was I a happy camper. I put it together just last week and went to the camp today for a few practice shots. Here are a couple pics of my groupings...I was quite impressed with the accuracy, considering I was standing without anything to lean on. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_P58...

Well I've taken the plunge and bought a Phoenix today. Lite Stuff kit. I'll be getting it by Purolator tomorrow.

I'm pretty excited I must say. Can't wait to get it and put it together.

Thanks everyone for your great comments, truly appreciated.

It would be pretty easy to open a cafepress shop at minimal cost. They handle everything after that. They print it all on whatever you like:

T-shirts

caps

mugs

stickers

baby clothes...

I'd certainly buy some

Thanks guys. I was already quite sure I'd be getting an Excal and with your answers, I'd certainly be a fool to do otherwise.

Besides being accurate, it's a homegrown product. and to me that was a major selling point.

I'll let you guys know what I buy when I do. Thanks.

Thanks guys. While it sounded like horse doodie, I don't know enought yet to know the difference.

Thanks again for the quick and informative response

Hi Everyone, This is my first post here, and would like to say HI! PLus I'd like to start off by saying I'm loooking at buying a Phoenix or Ibex...not sure yet. I do have a question though, while shopping around today I was told in one of the hunting shops that a recurve crossbow needs to be decocke...
