Re: Equipment scent control???

Hunt the wind and you won't have a problem. Absolutely no reason to scent control your xbow unless it's to satisfy a personal desire to do so. No amount of these ripoff scent control products will stop a deer from smelling if the wind is not in your favour. My grandpa used to chain smoke in the stan...

Re: When are you happy?

My Exocet 200 was shooting at 310 ish and I liked that way. I didn't intentionally set it up to reach that velocity, it just ended at that speed once I had it shooting the way I liked it. My old nox was shooting the gonads of gnats at 330 ish, and my favorite little hybrid vixen is shooting around 2...

Re: Excal. Buzz Busters Silencers

I like them and still use them. I've had them on my exocet 200, equinox, exomax and currently have them on my Matrix 380 and Vixen. Never had them fly off....yet. :wink:

Re: heating deer scents

I've had success on a number of occasions squeezing an apple drinking box on a stick in the ground or small skinny tree.

Re: This NAP shockwave could bust thru bone no problem!

A 125 gr Spitfire did this on a quartering away shot to a deer I took last year with my tricked out vixen.

I'd say you're good to go! :)

Re: Straw poll: Are Illuminated Firebolt Arrows worth the pr

Yes they are IMO. I asked Big John to install Lumenoks on 4 of the arrows in my last order and I'm very happy he did. They're for my Matrix, and only to be used for hunting. It should make arrow recovery a lot easier, and when filming it's kinda cool slowing down the footage and watching the red lig...

Re: Matrix issues

The thing I found took a little getting used to is the creep in the trigger. It's not that it's bad just a little more than I like and am used to. As for accuracy, it's accurate as heck out to 60 yds with diablos and the 150 gr heads and the BE with brass inserts and 100 gr head. Your groups should ...

Re: Older Exocet - HELP!

Looks like a Wolverine with Exocet limbs. Is that bow on CGN by chance?
