Excalibur Crossbow Forum

It's on Hwy 60 at one of the intersections with Hwy 41. Its about 100 miles (160 km) from Ottawa.

This may seem like the wrong forum for this thread, but a few FROW measurers will be in Eganville at the gun show to measure racks and skulls. Bring in your trophies, or just stop by to look at the ones other guys have brought in. I understand that Ontario's No 5 moose rack will be there on display....

Apparently I jumped the gun. It is being offered on Cogeco as of this month, but the logo for Rogers was just so we could contact them and request that they carry Wild TV.

I sent off an e-mail. Hopefully, if enough of us want it they will pick it up.

I may have missed a thread on this earlier, but I visited their web site today, and they have Rogers Digital, and Cogeco listed as cable suppliers who offer their channel.

I plan to call tomorrow to see if its available in Ontario.

The last info I read said there were 38 different subspecies of whitetail, if Ifind a site listing all of them, I'll post it here.

At my hunt camp in the Parry Sound District I hunt about 2,000 acres of Crown Land for deer and Moose with a centre fire rifle. I bowhunt moose north of the French and Mattawa rivers, so I could argue that I have access to some 300,000 square miles of territory. In reality, travel in the bush is qui...

Looking at the pictures, it appears that the 168 estimate is not too far off - providing that the skull plate is intact. If the antlers have been split, it's not eligible for record book consideration - except for FROW (we now accept professionally repaired skull plates). I'll send you my e-mail add...

There's also Gobble N Grunt archery near Franktown (south of Carleton Place). He has a web site www.gobblengrunt.ca and though he's normally there only in the evenings and weekends, can be reached if you want to stop by. His name is Rob Argue, phone 613-285-7555 and e-mail is rob.argue@sympatico.ca....

You'd better check the legality of crossbows if you're planning to hunt the west. I understand some of the provinces don't allow them as archery equipment. You'd have no problem if you planned to hunt the lakehead area in Ontario though.

I've been going over some old posts, and found this one. I shoot 220 grain bullets of my own manufacture in my Remington 7600 in .35 Whelen. 57 grains of IMR 4895 gives me 2645 fps, and 55 grains of H335 gives me 2630 fps. I find the IMR 4895 load to be more accurate in my rifle. My bullets have a c...

I believe the current total should be 444. I'm in my 50th year, so that should be 494.

Someone's rallying the troops against us. We're down to 52%.

Vote whether or not you're from New York The opposition doesn't have any qualms about it.

Welcome to the world of crossbows and its 60 centuries of history!!

Our group of 5 has a bull and cow tag for the archery hunt in zone 24 (north of Kapuskasing).

I can't quote a source on this, but many years ago, I read of the discovery of some frescoes in Turkey that appeared to depict soldiers using crossbows in battle. The frescoes dated from 4,000 BC. At the time the opinion was being challenged by the (history) establishment, but it does raise some que...
