The bronze side plates were actually used thrust washers that I had saved from replacing them on a piece of equipment from work. I have had them in my tool box for several years but knew I would make something out of them one day Read my tag line. I just love to take some "stuff" and make ...

Did you hear about the old couple in BC that were feeding bears around there grow op. West of Nelson BC IIRC. Some of the bears were so tame they would let the CO's scratch them. The Govt wants to let the bears return to the wild. I can't see that happening as easily as they say it will be. Can't fi...

Hi all I have looked at the sites about string dampeners. What is the underlying principles they are trying to accomodate? I assume they keep the string from traveling past it's needed travel ? Is there a limit that the string can take getting slowed down? Inquiring minds have to know ? Also, we hav...

I just got my axiom. The noise was less than expected, but I checked the STS system. How do they attach? Mention something about double mount for Excal CB?

Does the STS keep the string from going past the arm tips and viberating after the shot?

Thanks for the warm welcome. Well today was the day. I took the day off as it rained yesterday. I took out the target I bought. took out a tape measure and marked off 20 yards. Assembled the rope cocking aid, pulled the string back until it clicked. Slipped the safety on and loaded the 1st bolt. I t...

Hi All Forgive my questions, I am new to all this. For bolts. is the threaded forepart/insert a universal thread size? Can broad heads from a compound bow be used for a cross bow? Any god websites about arrow/bolt information, manufacture, fletching? Has anyone ever used a crossbow on large fish lik...

I just got an Axiom and new to this. I thought the nocks were a no-no. I didn't get any with the kit.

Do I need them?

What does FOC mean? Can't think of what is means but will do the Homer thing when I find out.

Thanks in advance

I made some raised beds for DW this spring. as the usual garden spot is under repair. The deer like the pepper plants. They also have been eating the neighbours beans. The tomatoes a ripening and we have been eating lettuce and cuckes for a while. We have a couple big pumpkins we are nursing along H...

A few years ago A CO asked a friend to put down a deer wounded by a car. This was during hunting season. My wife hit a buck that size in her Mazda 3. The car was a write off, lucky no one hurt. Now she drives a full size chev 1/2 ton and the deer bounce better off it. She is a commuter and hits at l...

What kind of crop is that?

Harvest is just starting in SK.

I think the Marketing dude should sent a shirt and hat to all new buyers of an Excalibur crossbow. Lots of advertising!!

First post here. When they banned lead shot for waterfowl (which I agree with). They had to make bigger loads for the steel shot to be effective. In the mean time a few folks blew up shotguns with the higher pressure loads. I have never brought down a goose with steel shot. you can hear the pellets ...
