Hey Guest, The best man at my wedding is a machinist at a top notch shop. He's built stuff that has gone up on the space shuttle for Canadian satellites. When he first saw my bow he said he could machine me any replacement parts like the riser or the DB bars, but I don't like to mess with perfection...

Woodsman, I tightened them as tight as they can go and the rubber pads are not touching that much at all compared to before. The dissipator bars have bent forward enough that the pads are barely touching the limbs at rest and there is vibration in the limbs now when I shoot. It's much noisier then b...

This is the geek in me... Red Label is right on. I would have to get my first year college physics book out but just imagine how much energy is required to accelerate a 350g bolt to 350 FPS (~240 MPH) in less then 1/100 of a second. Just because it is light does not mean there is not a lot of energy...

Thanks BigBear, will do.

BJ, You have a PM.

OK I took them off and I can see the light... :roll: :roll: lots of light between the straight edge and the bar that is. The limbs look OK, I don't see any stress cracks or damage. I did fire it after the accident a number of times and I lived to tell about it. I'll pick up a new set of bars this we...

Hey BigBear,

Thanks for the tip. I'll compare my disipator bars to my buddies 2003 exocet and see if they appear bent. (They should be the same bars right?)

Nick

Had my first dry fire last night with the ExoMax. Forgot to load a bolt in it when it was my turn to shoot. :roll: Quite a loud twang sound! :shock: There does not appear to be any major damage and I shot it another 20 times after that but I think it is louder now??? Maybe it's not and I'm just payi...

Evan,

You say maxzone and the others say varizone? It's only 30 bucks more so I think I'll go for the varizone if most of you think that is the way to go.

Nick

Thanks Guys.

(I'm new to bow hunting.) And you would definitly take a scope over a red dot? For fast rifle shots I can find my target quicker with a red dot then with my scoped rifle.

Nick

What's the difference between the Maxzone and the Varizone? When I purchase my new setup which one would you recommend? (Assuming it will be mounted on an Exomag.)
