buckeye,
I don't drink, so that's not an issue. Just looking for some hope that this will end. I have lost 40 pounds, doc said it would help. Never felt worse. Sick of yard bird and salad. I could stand to loose 40 more though. Thanks for the reply.

Health questions for you folks from Canada

I have been really struggling for the last 4 years, with some health issues. Doctor's here in the U.S. love to rape the insurance companies, so as a result, we get bounced from doctor to doctor. Every time I feel poorly, I get a very strong metallic taste in my mouth, and some eye twitching. It has ...

Very interesting article, and quite a lot of work and shots went into it. I have my own ideas, which I think a lot of us have. I was a brand loyal customer, until I started experimenting. I shot Muzzy's period! After reading of all of the success of guys shooting Mechanical's (and the clain of field...

First of all, Welcome! I think there are a lot of good guys on here, and willing to help the newbie. I have been using a x-bow for 2 years, and have a handi-cap permit for here in Pa. I have taken 3 deer, 1 with a borrowed horton, and 2 with Excalibur's. You will get good advice from a lot and great...

Conversion Question

The way I understand it, all the limbs for the new Excalibur bows are the same, only the length of the stock and rail are different. If I wanted to buy just a stock and rail for a Exocet 200, is it possible, and will Excalibur sell it to me? I have a Phoenix, and could just bolt my limbs to the new ...

When snow hits, I usually wear a Mossy Oak snow camo top, and an old set of Woolrich Malones on the bottom. I think nothing looks more like a Cherry tree trunk, than the old wool malones. I've pulled the sneak on quite a few with this combo. In the fall, I'm a Mossy Oak guy. I must say, I like the o...

I'm like Tom, simple is best. But a frictionless bolt out of a eExomax, or Exocet 200, speed would be tremendous.

WD-40, is quite often used in the firearm arena, because it protects from rust. It does so, because a scientist in a lab somewhere, who invented it, did so on the 40th try. The WD, stands for Water Displacement. So there you have it, The True, you heard it here second. WD-40 Stands for Water Displac...

It may not bother the deer, but neither will the smokers, when they can't get to the woods anymore to hunt. My father, used to be an avid hunter and fisherman, he is now confined to a chair, or a short walk of 20 or so yards, before he tires out. If he would kill a deer, he would not have enough ene...

I think it was a partnership between the two, but who knows. I'm sure Digger or Gary would know for sure. I dont see why anyone would want one, it is a zero let off bow, even though it's a compound, and just has wheels pins,cables, and a bunch of other things to go wrong. The excalibur exomax, with ...

Partikle, It is not that difficult, with a little practice, and a very sharp blade. It is easier if someone shows you. It all starts (at least for me) at the rear end of the deer. I wear rubber dish washing gloves, stick my finger in the anus, and remove any pellets I can reach. Pinch a little skin,...
