Re: ACB Custom Stock Raffle ($385 raised to date)

By my calculations that amount should cover the costs and push this little venture into the black. Way to go folks, keep the donations rolling in! Mike, would you have a picture of some of your babies you could add to the post? Just in case some folks are not familiar with your beautiful masterpiece...

Re: Debate on the C2 Crank versus the older one

From those last pics, it definitely looks like a C2 crank. How does it fit on Jelly Belly? Do you have the same issue with it fitting on that stock? The matrix stock profile should be the same as the micro even although the micro stock is hollowed out. From the pictures it does not look like drillin...

Re: Might need a crank for the Vixen.

You will need a good ol'crankaroo for that bow. Bad news is they don't make them anymore, good news is used ones pop up frequently and are usually priced very reasonably in the $50-$75 range.

Re: Debate on the C2 Crank versus the older one

Can you take a pic of the inside (underneath) of the crank. It sure looks like the crank is not fitting over the stock properly. If I try to use a crankaroo on my matrix I have the same problem. It should have a excal logo stenciled on the side where as the older one has a sticker. When I measured t...

Re: Debate on the C2 Crank versus the older one

Ok so if the hole is too high is the crank a bit loose? If it is close, could you take up the slack by putting a spacer of some kind under the crank? That way no modifications would need to be made to the bow. I don't have a micro but I thought the C2 was universal for all bows since the stocks with...

Ttt for Anthony. If you need to tweak your setup for an old crank, this is the guy to talk to!

Re: Debate on the C2 Crank versus the older one

Can you post a couple of pics of the offending crank? I have seen a few old ones that were mistaken for a C2 crank. If it is a crankaroo you also need to watch the clearance between the crank and the check piece as it is a touch longer. It has been a few weeks but there was a good description of wha...

Re: Open for target shooting ideas

If we had a dart board target then you could play a multitude of games including the standard "180" using arrows instead of darts. I can print out some patterns to fit over the spyderweb target. I need to check but I think I have something like that on a bag target. A standard dart board i...

Re: MO get together - Shootouts

I love my 18-1 target but with the Matrix bows it takes more effort to pull the arrow out of the target than it does to cock the bow, even with my Miller pullers. It will still be my go to target for broad heads but I had to find something else to use for a nice relaxing day of shooting. When i saw ...

Re: For those attending Boofest

How about we combine the knife throwing and the potatoe gun shooting? All we would have to do is mount one of those knives(or maybe even a spear) inside a potato and shoot it. Adds a whole new connotation to,"loaded potato" eh? The World's first home made ICBM.

I plan on coming and trying to drag as many family members along with me as I can. Not sure how my wife will feel,about it, but my grandson LJ will,love shooting and fishing in the lake. Trouble is I am not sure which bows I am going to take. I will have to take my M380 and maybe even the big daddy ...
