Least expensive place I came across was www.xbowsplus.com. After talking to Dan Miller, as recommended by folks here, I've decided he would be the best place/person to order from. If I remember correctly, not counting shipping, ordering from Dan would be $26.00 more for an Exocete with Virizone Righ...

Shooting Sticks?

Hi,

Any of you folks use shooting sticks (mono, bi or tri) when hunting? What, when, why?

Thanks...

Haven't hunted with a CB yet so will be watching this thread.

FWIIW, verticle, rifle and pistol hunting I use a hand muff. Mine is very old and has a very convient storage pouch sewed onto the muff. I've found many benifits to using the muff and no drawbacks worth mentioning.

Take care...

Can the sling, set up the regular way, be used with the bow quiver mounted? It looks like the quiver could/would get in the way of carrying comfortably.

First off WELCOME to the forum. I suggest you go to a dealer and check out the different models. I shoot the vortex and love it .I also am very happy with the thumb hole stock. You should try one out you may just like it. It does make handling much easier . IMO No matter which you choose you made t...

2 Tails 1 Head, 2 Heads 1 Tail, 3 Tails!

OK so here I am approaching my 65th birthday and my wife says something like “Well, which would you prefer a party or a new toy?”. Without hesitation a new “toy” says I. So what’ll be a Glock 19, Marlin .44 mag. Lever action, .54 cal. Flintlock or the Monsterbow Dragon (http://monsterbows.com/monste...

I didn't get the package when I purchased my Vortex. It is comprable to the Exocet, but has a thumb hole stock. Then came the purchase of a scope, strings, quiver, quiver mount, string supressor system. I wanted to customize the bow, not outfit it. But there have been times when I have re-thought m...

Oh, another question, is XBOWSPLUS a good place to order from? Their prices seem decent and the shipping would be free.

Couple of more questions... Is a sling worth considering? The few places I hunt don't require more than a 20-30 minute hike to get to my stand. Most, but not all, of my hunting is from a tree stand so would a sling just get in my way? Is the quiver easily detachable? I've used bow quivers but always...

Thanks for the welcome and info.

What is the approx. weight difference between the two scopes? If the battery goes dead is the scope still usable?

What is the NGSS system?

What Accessories for Exocet?

Hi, I’m considering buying a crossbow and have pretty much decided that if I do it’d be the Exocet model. What I’m not sure of is what accessories to get with the bow. Checking the internet shows me that there are several packages/kits available that can be bought with the bow. The Right Stuff packa...
