Incorrect target - 2 inserts lost ...
I received 6 Firebolt arrows with my Ibex. Two of them have now lost their field head and aluminum insert while being pulled out of a 3-D target.

Re: First deer ever with my Equinox!
Deerstalker ... Congratulations and Way to Go.
My wife is a South Carolina belle who spent summers with her Granny in North Carolina. I showed her your picture and she said, "Well bless his heart, good for him."
All the best on the next one.

4 finger rope cocking aid ?
The few weeks of having my Ibex have been great and tiring. Since the other two people I take cannot cock the bow I am the official rope puller. The other day that was 75 pulls in one afternoon ...
