Hi Georgiaboy...............just wanted to stir the pot a little

[joe171]

why would you want to down grade a Excaliber crossbow by doing that............... it would be the same as putting Ford parts on a GMC you just dont put inferior stuff on great products......

After you follow all that good advise


take off the limbs




and install Middleton limbs.............

Joe

Hay Ottawa ...........have you looked at the Ford Boss engine
I bet you drive a chev Volt...........

I'll bet he doesn't own a M'ton. Excal will be 30 yrs old next year, having started in a pig barn in 1983. I was 36 yrs old, and I suspect DM was filling his diapers daily.

Fast forward 22 yrs, about '05, that's when he stole the design. Somewhere along the line, he got dinged for $34K according to a poster on AT.

Also, there's been mention as of late, there are now 17 mfgr's of xbows.

I like all but 2 of them, and Chace Moon is the 2nd, lol. I brought some extra beers to Boofest cause I thought you would be there.

Meddleton stole their design from Excal.

Keep your digits out of the path of the string.

Some tips eh .
Check your limbs with cotton batting for splinters .
Check scope mounting screws occasionally . They do come loose .
Oil or do something with your trigger BEFORE it freezes on a hunt .
Last one . If you needed warranty at the end of the season . Don`t wait until the day before this hunting season .

Good tips so far. Thought I might add that you should inspect your cocking rope before using. It can deal quite a lashing..

Shucks......I don`t know anything about 1983 and Milton pig barns
But I bought my first x bow back then yah Excal Wolverine but it was not in a pig barn it was in Kitchner Ontario
You said the same to me in a PM at archery talk some time back last month That is not my problem I don`t have a dog in this fight But I have a couple
Now if I post a joke and you don't like it that's too bad lighten up

" brought some extra beers to Boofest cause I thought you would be there. "
All you would have to do is ask me too show up Ill share our Booz or Anything ELSE you want i`m game !

Was going too Go but sleeping arrangements would have been a problem for me sold my trailer some years back and I like a shot or 2/5 every once and a while But I don`t drink and drive

Stanley, I don't think you have offended anyone.




Another tip is to occasionally take the string off and turn it over so the latches wear the other side of the serving material

[TPM]

Don't lean your crossbow against the side of a vehicle unattended. The driver may return and accidentally run it over!

Now, now, be nice. Who said it was an accident?

[rayman]

Great thread Masboy, offers a bit of everything. Wisecracks, low intensity fireworks, Ford-Chevy gibes, excal praises, talk of beer and whisky, and numerous great tips for crossbow hunting. Kind of like a David Allen Coe song.

I'm not qualified to offer any technical tips yet, except maybe to watch the excal instructional videos before asking a bunch of questions.

I already knew about leaning things agains a truck bumper, and about when your buddy leaves his climbing stand behind the truck on the passenger side in the dark, great tip though.
