How about back up weapons for my back up weapons!!

My wife and I had a conversation a LONG time ago......she didn't understand why I needed another ______ ........I told her it was WAY past need......it was pure WANT........she has never asked that again!

I am back down to 2 excaliburs though!

I'd have someone with an Elephant gun sitting right beside me then, lol. Tye That's the way it ALWAYS works when hunting dangerous game in Africa! The Professional Hunter's number one job is keeping the client out of trouble! Even if the client is using a rifle, the PH is there to back him up and w...

With the proper arrow and broadhead shot from an ExoMag.......I don't think elephant would be out of the question......there have been quite a few elephants taken with vertical bows......no reason a crossbow couldn't do it as well.....I'd be happy to be the first if any of you wealthy guys have an e...

I didn't even ask Keystone to weigh them.......when I voiced my concerns about the mixed shafts, they volunteered.......I even told them how much difference they should expect between the correct shafts and the superlights......then, they called me back and said the guys in the warehouse knew about ...

Wayne I agree with most of what you wrote......I posted my experience, plain and simple........I wanted to warn people that there are still mixed shafts in the pipeline and probably will be for some time......I also wanted to warn people to carefully examine the shafts they receive for damage that t...

UPDATE: Just got an e-mail back from GoldTip........they are going to replace all the shafts, not just the bad ones. I can't ask for more than that! The true measure of a company is not how they treat a potential customer before he buys.......it's how they treat that customer when they already have ...

ecoaster These are the original shafts, I called about the odd size shaft problem this morning and then found the other problem this afternoon! The scores on the 2 shafts in the photo are deep.......looks like it happened during the cut to length process at the factory.......very poor quality contro...

I just can't win!!! For those that haven't been keeping up with my GoldTip "adventure", I received a dozen GoldTip bare shafts with 1 shaft of a different size in the package......I spoke with GoldTip customer service this morning and they are suppose to send a replacement shaft. I was pre...

I was figuring the FOC of the bolts I am getting ready to build....... 172 grains Gold Tip Laser II shaft 20" 20 grains flat nock 95 grains brass insert 12 grains 3 feathers 5" 100 grains Thunderhead 100 19.77% FOC The calculator says the FOC should be between 8% and 12%.......is this goin...

Just wanted to let everyone know......I spoke with Tim at Gold Tip and he will be replacing the bolt that was too light........no problems, he said if anyone else has this problem to contact him and he will take care of it. Talked to Keystone again too.......they are now aware that the problem still...

Don't know what you mean by "premium weight"???? Like I said, the only thing a heavier bolt costs is velocity and trajectory.....in other words, heavier bolts shoot slower and drop faster.......however, If I was hunting something larger than deer (elk or moose), I'd give up some speed for ...

Spank Minimum bolt weight for most Excalibur crossbows is 350 grains......anything lighter and you risk damaging the bow (except for the Vixen which can use a lighter bolt).......doesn't hurt if the bolt weighs more, but you will give up some velocity......... Sorry, but I can't tell you if the pack...

Speaking of weight........these shafts came with aluminum flat nocks and brass inserts for the front.......one each of the nock and insert weigh 115.4 grains on my powder scale.......the correct shafts weigh 167-170 grains (not the superlight screw ups......3 feathers (5") weigh11 grains.....us...

Golden Eagle......sounds like you are good to go! I want to let people know.......I didn't need to weigh the shafts to tell I had some of the wrong ones in the mix! I could tell just by feel which ones were different.....I could also look at the end of the different shafts and tell that the ligher o...

Since Gold Tip obviously still has some of the mixed shafts in the pipeline...... what other carbon bolts/shafts are available???
