Excalibur Crossbow Forum

With my son projected to cut heavily into my time behind the Exomax this season I was in need of another bow. I got rid of my previous vert bow following a shoulder injury in 2006. I picked up a new Diamond "Rock" 70# bow last weekend. Initially I thought 70# may be a bit much for the shou...

Good job. Looks like a good time.

I was up a tree last Saturday hunting doe. It was a bad day. A long story I'd care to forget. To make the story short, there is nothing fresh in the freezer.

I've got my free Hammerhead screwed on a Firebolt. With a little luck maybe I can post some real world testing within the next week. I agree that the blades are not as heavy as what you see on most NAP broadheads. But those heads are 1.5" cut and less. You have to give up a little mass somewher...

Taking a mature whitetail buck in an urban setting is no walk in the park. Very true. In some cases it isn't even legal. There are a number of localities that allow urban hunting in this area for population control and quite a few limit the hunting to doe only. If they want more participation they ...

I'd pay $89 for that! It accomplishes the mission and I wouldn't cry (as bad) if it came up missing.

Today I got my new meat grinder in the mail. Hopefully by this time next week I'll get to test it out with a fresh doe. For me antlerless opens down the road on Saturday.

In WV I can't use my crossbow at all. :cry: Just over the mountain in VA I can hunt doe from Sept 5 to Oct 2, except Sundays, and can take two per day. From Oct 3 till Oct 30, except Sundays, I can take up to three bucks and unlimited doe (unlimited tags for purchase) with a two-per day limit. Then ...

muzzler, Slicks were the same way for me using stock Firebolts out of my Exomax. I couldn't keep them in a pie plate at 20 yards. I added brass inserts to the Firebolts to increase FOC and now they shoot EXACTLY like my field points. The only drawback was the speed loss of the heavier arrow. Granted...

Hammerhead 2" here

I have the 4-arrow standard quiver. On two hunts I've used two arrows. Two deer came home each time.

On one hunt I used all FOUR arrows. I did bag a doe with the third arrow. Its a long story. Most people would have stopped after the first arrow.

Without ScentLok I bagged a 9-point and a 7-point in 2007. With ScentLok I bagged an 8-point and another 8-point in 2008. Did it make a difference? Not really. How I hunted and the wind direction made far more difference than any scent containment. I agree with Mike P. I think using the proper camo ...

What he said.

I smelled it this weekend. It smelled like smoke from an old 2-cycle weed eater as it cleared a nice path all the way to my tree stand.

put a stand above that y. every buck that runs up and down the creek/ditch will pass thru there coming or going. I agree. The topo shows a nice nice creek bed through the middle. Big bucks like a good out of view travel route. Its hard to tell how much room you have without a scale but it looks lik...
