Excalibur Crossbow Forum

State Representative Cy Thao has introduced a bill that will remove the restrictions against the crossbow and make it eligable to be used by anyone during the archery season. I emailed him and he asked me to share the email with the entire committee. I did and here is what ensued. ----- Original Mes...

Some just emailed me asking if I knew where they could get some clear moon nocks. And as usually is the case when I get these questions, I have no idea. Can anyone shed some light on this poser? I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you.

CROSSBOWS: MYTH & FACTS Dear Friends of the Crossbow – We have added a new news item to our website entitled “Crossbows – Myth & Facts. It was originally written ten years ago by me mentor and adopted “Big Brother”, Ottie Snyder. What is very interesting is that I recently updated it and wa...

Wabi - I will not be able to make it this year. I have a nephew that is getting married that weekend and I just don't think my family would understand that their favorite uncle had to go shoot arrows in Ohio. This is the kid that got blown up in Iraq in October of this year so this wedding is a majo...

Nice job, Bill. Looking forward to hearing the story about that one!

HOLY SMOKES! I get home from being on the road for three days and one of the first emails I read is from brother Doug Begley stating that there is an uproar on the Excalibur forum. He writes that there is an upcoming article entitled “String Guns and Snow Drifts” and that I thought the title was cut...

I spoke with the editor of Peterson's Crossbow Hunting and it will indeed becoming out again in July, I believe he said. He seemed gung-ho about the crossbow, but their sister magazine Peterson's Bowhunting doesn't have much good to say about the crossbow. Kind of a paradox wouldn't you say?

That is, indeed, what it means.

WABI – You pretty much summed it up. I have already been approached by people from Wisconsin asking me to keep careful notes on our progress and the provide them with a proven outline of how we obtained success. You notice, I didn’t say “IF WE OBTAINED SUCCESS”, but “HOW WE OBTAINED SUCCESS”. The bl...

You folks may or may not know that I belong to a large group of bowhunters that started the United Foundation For Disabled Archers back in 1994. This group hosts two events each year, one in Minnesota and one in Wisconsin, where we treat fifty disabled bowhunters to a four-day whitetail hunt. We rai...

MADMEN! I find it so bizarre that hunters keep viciously turning on hunters. Today I emailed out state’s Deer Hunting organization in response to an email message I received asking me to go out an contact everyone I know about the evils of shooting preserves. How strange it is that 800 Minnesota Dee...
