Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Looking good Mike. Those little chiefs last forever, eh? No sense eating that dry stuff, send 'er up here and I'll take care of it for ya.

The most important part is the height that you sit. I can attest to this....yeah...that's right...I sent a bolt right through the corner of my blind, right under my shooting window. The worst part was that it tore my zipper apart. I could see the deer fine with my scope, but when I released it scar...

Congrats to you VTX4 on the successful hunt. You got a good wife there.

There was actually an ad for Maximus Crossbows in the back of my Ontario Out of Doors Magazine!! Whats up with that? There is no ad for excalibur even though they are an Ontario based company!!! Shouldn't the OFAH be supporting local business over Chinese knock offs??? :shock: Careful there Pinpoin...

Very nice dog indeed...good luck. A good friend of mine has a male chessy, about 6 years old - man what a beefcake!!!

Jay

Yeah....nice labs fer sure. My dog of choice would be either a lab or retriever, so great mix as far as I'm concerned. Hope you have years of fun. My parents have/had a couple of black labs...1 left....they are great dogs.

.... I as well shot them for a couple seasons but have had some break and have seen pics of other carbons that had splintered in the animal so with that being a possibility I switched back to aluminum 2216's for health reasons..... mine not the deers. I don't want to eat meat with carbon splinters ...

I caught them in Carleton Place this past weekend...it was pretty cool to see and get pictures of. There was a nice sized crowd out on the streets.

Roland, could you post a pic of your set-up please?


Jay

Hi Mikdor, Your brace height should sit between an inch to an inch1/2. The newer bows have marks on the rail to indicate proper brace height. You are correct about twisting the string to reduce or increase brace height, depending on the need. You got a pic of your older bow? I shoot a 2000 Exocet an...

My condolences to the family.

Nicely done.

Old Exocet, I hunt 64A and as I walked the perimeter of a 20 acre or so hay/clover field yesterday, I counted 9 scrapes. Nothing huge, all around 2' x 2'. Gotta get my ground blind set up.


Jay

Glad to see you got it figured out Mike. Time to get after #3.

Was the scope actually loose in the old rings?


Jay

Jamie, I've read the rule of thumb is to let them hang in no more than 10 degrees C. If you can get it field dressed and hung in the shade like Woody says, at that temp, you will be good to go. Hanging it will keep the yotes away too.

Good luck,


Jay
