I was interested in knowing what everyones favorite xbow/arrow/broad head/string/ etc combo for hunting and target practice is.

So brag a little about your hard earned lessons and share them with the rest of us, tell us all about your pet xbow and how you have it set up.

Well, Lotus, I ordered an Exomax and the "Right Stuff" accessory pack ... and I am still shooting the "stuff" that came in it.

Killed deer last year without problem, so I figure that "stuff" is stuff enough ... for me, anyway.

I don't doubt that I can kill deer for a few more seasons with those six arrows and broadheads.

Other's mileage may vary.

PS: I am not a "tweaker" and "fiddler" by nature. If it works OK, I'll use it.

My fav Xbow is my carved limb tipped Exocet and 2117 shafts. Its got the best trigger of my bunch. It wears a Dacron string with spider leg silencers. I usually have a Nikon 1.5x6 Monarch Gold scope with a 30mm tube on it.

Phoenix, 431 GT L'II's Slick Tricks, FFF string for everything but bear. Emax and all the preceding for bear.

Well..................
Only been shooting and hunting with Excaliburs for 7 or 8 years now, so I'm still experimenting with all the variables. So far my tests have led me to conclude that about any combination of Excalibur models and components (within reason and recommended specs) is very accurate and reliable.

Right now I'm shooting a Phoenix with a dacron string and 18" 2215 aluminum shafts fletched with Blazer vanes. Using 100 grain points, but thinking of going to 125 grain to improve FOC.

Brass inserted Gold tip II's, 4 inch Killer vanes, 100 grain Slicks and a Boo FFF, on my Lumi-Zone scoped Exocet 200..
Gives me 316 FPS of razor sharp accuracy. I love my crossbow!

I just got mine in February, so I use what came in the right stuff package. Good enough for me.

I did customize a bit with the self-camo job.

Hey BigTiny, i thought that camo might have been dipped. Awesome job with that camo job. Is that just tape?

Just tape. Lots of wrapping and unwrapping.
