Excalibur Crossbow Forum

A few years back I had a couple of Does in front of me start fighting like that.. The big old Doe reared up and clocked the younger Doe right on top of her head.... Sounded like a baseball bat hitting a tree trunk... The young Doe almost went down for the count. She stood there for a couple of secon...

Back in the day they were the greatest thing to have while ice fishing..... I used to use one and moved it around from pocket to pocket, because they did get very hot.... As said before, not very good to use while bow hunting.... though I knew a couple of fellows that did use them while gun hunting....

I've used the Slick Tricks (among others) and they work great!!!

For field points a feed bag with clothes works well... For broadheads I like one of the block type targets specifically made for crossbows... Oh yeah... Make sure you fill the feed bag with old clothes that you really don't want and don't accidently use clothes from the dirty laundry pile..... Some ...

That straight down shot always seems like a good idea, but as was mentioned before it can go very wrong if you don't get complete pass thru or don't hit the spine... I prefer letting 'em get out aways and take a high to low angle double lung.... They don't go far at all....

I have a buddy in East Tenn and he's been a Rut most of his life......

I agree with Grizz... Gum boots are the best... I've used gum boots since before L L Beans Hunting Boots were a fashion statement (and thankfully) went out of fashion, simply because, for hunting they did exactly what they were supposed to do. Today there is a plethora of rubber boots (some very ins...

I like my RCBS Partner Electronic Powder Scale,,,

Got mine from Cabalas Bargin Cave for (if I remember right) less than 50 bucks... That was a good score that day.....

Wait 'till they get their thick winter coat... then shoot 'em....

The love of a good woman, a shared together and the future are among very finest of gifts in life.... Congratulations on getting a new hunting partner....

I like homemade stuff!!..... Call me cheap too, but I feel it's good to be resourceful.... So many folks today simply want to BUY it and when it doesn't work well enough, they go out and BUY another one... Building your own blind sure beats spending $399.00 for something that with a little sweat and...

Being ripped off is really a sickening feeling... Man, I hope you catch these guys.... It's one thing to be on a piece of public land and losing a stand but have it happen on private land...... That really rots!!!

I'm feeling for you.....Good luck!!!

Looks like it forgot to take off it's PJs...... A couple of seasons ago I took a lady friend of mine out for a drive one early October evening to look for deer. We drove down a dirt road near where I hunt and came upon a beautiful pibald fawn not far from the road... I was all excited and we got som...

I hope you enjoyed this years "circle around the sun" and have many, many more fun ones to come.............. HAPPY B-DAY!!!

Everybody brings up good points on this topic and I agree that it really comes down to the individual situation... It is the split second reaction to avoid a collision... I did not see the collision. I did see the damage (front driveside headlight, grille and fender)... It was early evening, no twil...
