Excalibur Crossbow Forum

I'm the new guy...and an avid rifle hunter....but being as this is a CROSSBOW forum, I'd think that animals taken with a CROSSBOW should be the only ones in the contest....but that's just me. I belong to rifle hunting forums, and if they do a photo contest, I won't be ticked if they say rifles only....

Mike~ I write magazine editorials for a living, so I think I'm qualified to say this.....You have a fantastic writing style! It's refreshing to see the gift of cyber penmanship on BB's such as this, especially in a world where "ew I thot tht e2a got pwn3d lst nite" seems to be the prevelan...

Let me put this put out there.....

GT II shaft, probably cut to 18"
Luminock in the rear, front insert replaced with aluminum cut to 2/3
100 gr. BH


close?

Yes, I was referring to the shaft setup, with the assembled shaft equalling 250 grains. I will be adding a head seperately. My ultimate goal is to end up with a luminock and BH equipped complete arrow weighing in at 350 gr.

In it's most basic element, what it comes down to is this: Straight edges cut cleaner , serrated edges cut better . I don't know about you guys, but I want my BH's to cut better, I have little concern about how clean it cuts. I'll save the "clean" cuts for when I'm processing :) At the end...

To get a shaft set up that would have:

Length @ 20"
A total weight of 250 gr
luminoks installed
FOC +/-15%
using factory offerings, just swapping inserts/etc.

thoughts?

......seemed pretty impressive (as you'd expect from a manufacturer's video of course), but it intrigued me enough to ask here if anyone has used them.

Any experience with these heads?

A razor sharp edge is a razor sharp edge, regardless of whether it is straight or serrated....the difference lies in the amount of cutting edge per inch of blade. As I said in the other thread, a 1" straight edge has 1 inch of cutting surface...but a 1" serrated edge has 1.5-1.75X that. Th...

^^^^^Edit: Again, please see the CURRENT regs.....things have changed. LoneWolf~ I don't have a link, but here is the verbatum from the 2009 book, page 21. NOTE: The criteria for broadheads used for bow hunting big game and wild turkey have been simplified. A broadhead used for these species must ha...

I really like the looks of that serrated one, I may have to give one a try.. Just a little information... Serrated broadheads are illegal to hunt with in Ontario. This information comes from the Ontario Hunting Regulations Summary: A hunting broadhead must have a minimum of 22mm (0.87 in) wide arro...
