Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Yup, what the other guys said.

(Hopefully, the threaded insert doesn't pull out when you use the arrow puller. Several of my bolts had that problem!!)

With feathers you can use steam, such as from a kettle. Likely this would work with plastic, and might have less risk of overheating and making the vanes brittle.

I guess it could have been worse.

You could have been using a chain saw.....

Heal well and quickly.

Course scent free helps a lot on still days....

With respect, "scent free" is impossible. A human ALWAYS gives off detectable "human" scent. It may be blended with insect repellant, or shaving lotion, or apple, or pine, or whatever. It will, however, be there.

A good dog can track the scent of ONE PARTICULAR human across a parking lot that is filled with the scent of other humans, gas, oil, diesel, plastic, and all manner of other scents. A deer has a sense of smell just as good. So, if you like the smell of apple, pine or other scents, use them. Just use...

I used to be "hung up" on the noise thing. To my ear, shooting my ExoMag or my ExoMax is sort of like banging two garbage can lids together. The metal kind even. They're noisy. :D :D I got to thinking, though. Who cares? The deer or elk or moose have fantastic hearing. They're going to hea...

Remember the fellow called "Vang"? He was just convicted of shooting all those folks who were rude to him in attempting to chase him off their hunting grounds. Even if it is public lands, you still own YOUR stand. You don't own the tree, or the surrounding lands, though. He can hang off a ...

Roy I was wondering how your efforts produced. I don't always get to check this forum to see what is going on. However, I did read some of your posts in connection with the Navy ban on crossbow usage. I'm pleased to see that you had some success. Forgive me if I appear to lecture you. I mean no offe...

Digger Your wooden stocks are beautiful. I'm not trying to take that away. However, the kind of hard use that my hunting equipment gets would be a sacriledge to such fine workmanship. My firearms are strictly utilitarian...the ones I hunt with, and the few that could be said to be collector's pieces...

I like my Excalibur bows. I have both an Exomax and an Exomag. They're accurate and dependable. However, I would have been much happier if instead of camo, the stock had come with a soft, quiet, finish, something like Hogue does with gun stocks. If it came as an option, I would spend the extra$$$$ f...

Grey Owl's right. This did circulate about a year ago. I have to agree with the skeptics who expressed their doubts back then. It's pretty hard to imagine a cat, in such open country, attacking a group which consists of two dogs, two humans and a mule. Also, to say that the mule would grab the cat b...

For those of us folks in Canada, where is a source of string serving material? I assume that it is somewhat hardier than the stuff used for long bows?

Thanks

Joel I used to raise Labrador Retriever dogs. They come in black, golden, and chocolate colors. They're all the same breed, however. I would personally be opposed to giving special status to white moose, deer, or any species that are legal to hunt. That would become the thin end of the wedge for ant...

Direct from the Middle Ages to you......

Hello?

No one else have this problem? Or, at least have a solution?
