HOWDY FOLKS..

Post by BUDFIELDS »

HOWDY FOLKS...

My name is Bud Fields. I am from Galveston, Indiana and I am about to become a crossbow user. I am NOT new to bowhunting deer. I started bowhunting in 1964 and I have taken 238 whitetail deer with bowhunting equipment :D, 93 with a muzzleloader :lol: and 1 with a Dodge Ram truck... :cry:

Due to some physical injuries and corrective surgeries, I can NO LONGER execute the shot process without enduring pain. I do NOT want to risk making a BAD hit on a deer.

My doctors suggested I consider switching over to a crossbow IF I wanted to continue my archery hunting. This "getting older" really sucks BUT IT BEATS THE ALTERNATIVE!! :shock:

I have consulted with Mr. Bill Troubridge of Excalibur Crossbows and he has given me some FANTASTIC and MUCH APPRECIATED suggestions and insight on helping me with my consideration of what I need for getting started. I am TRULY excited and anxious to get my new Excalibur Phoenix so I can get out there and sart my NEW career as a crossbow hunter. :D :P

I am the outdoor columnist for the Kokomo Perspective newspaper in Kokomo, Indiana and I am getting ready to start composing an article about crossbow hunting and featuring EXCALIBUR CROSSBOWS.

Welcome to the forum Bud! You will like the people on here. I am a wheelchair person - paralysed from nipples down and also cannot use a regular bow, so I also have a Phoenix with a crank-a-roo and love it. You will be amazed with the accuracy!

Once again WELCOME

Bud . . .welcome!! You are the envy of our forum! Taking on average of 7+ deer per year(did I do that math right?), wow! Your hunting resume is awesome. Could of done without that auto kill, eh? :shock:

We will offer you all the advice in the crossbow world, but, I do believe, it will be us looking to you for hunting advice! 8)

Congrats on finding your way to a great crossbow. Forget the injuries, sometimes things turn out for the best. You will wish you had been injured sooner after taking your first crossbow kill. :)

We'll be looking for you in the trophy room.
