Re: sts

You can get them from Bucks n Ducks. Also from Cabelas and some other places. They are not hard to install, come with directions. Also if you do a search on here you will see quite a bit of info. Boo's website is very helpful. Be prepared to either cut or grind the rods as they will be too long out ...

Re: everyone please read..

Yep, that'd be an eye opener. Might even make your eyes water :shock: I think xbow hunting has more things that can bite you than any other kind of hunting...gotta always be in your "A" game.

Re: O/T got me a new trk..this one wont see the dirt much..

Nice truck. I just bought a 2006 Tundra. Love it. Next year I'll get some decent tires on it (current have lots of wear left but suck in slick terraine) and will be good to go for quite a while.

Re: day one - deer one

Season opens friday...I may have to hold out for a while. Course with Michigan's U.P 5 point or better rule on bucks it may...

Re: would you shoot one?????

I too would not shoot a doe with fawns. But with the winters up here, if things got tough, the doe would chase her own fawns away from food. In that case (a very hard December) I would take a fawn as it would have less chance to survive and let the doe walk.

How to attach a sticky note to xbow?

I've had it happen a couple of times as has my best hunting buddy. Shooting 30 or more yards at a target and use the cross hair on the Verizone instead of the correct mildot (or whatever you call them...can't think of it right now). If this happened when I was hunting I WOULD NOT be a happy guy. I n...

Re: Flemish String Stretch

I've had a flemish string for several months....it is still stretching. With the string changer it is a 3 min job to put a few more twists in it. Its the nature of the beast.

Yep, ya gotta have confidence in what you're shooting. Enough things can happen without having that doubting feeling haunting you when you are hunting and there aren't any "do overs".

Re: anti-dryfire project

If you have long gun experience it is common practice to hit the safety for safety. If we treat the xbow with the same attitude there would be no dryfires.

Re: Brand Loyalty

I sure like my Exocet. 1st xbow and I don't see why I would want any other. And I gotta agree the info on this site and the help in the last year has been 2nd to none.
