Hi guys and gals. I finally got my Equinox!!! A fellow member of the forum made a trade for my PCP air rifle. It came with all the stuff plus 11 firebolts. With the Firebolts it goes through my block target and 9 inches into my second white foam target ( YIKES ) I made a bag target thanks to hints on the forum, way easier.... By using a handle off an old ice fishing strainer I was able to beef up the Sims bumper system he had on it. Now it's perfect. Man I can't stop from staring at the Equinox, the camo is gorgeous... It's an 07 modle but it's my new baby. Oh yeah today is my Birthday too

I'm 46 today WHOA !!

But I can still cock an Equinox

Everyone have a Blessed Day and go kill some Turkey...................

P.S. Thanks a bunch to Todd..

I would have purchased that PCP in a heartbeat. Darn red tape to bring it back to Canada was a PITA. Happy Birthday and enjoy the Equinox. I turned 46 a few days ago too.

BIG THANKS to all of you. Enormous,Now I know how you stay in shape. I'm only 5'8" and I can't reach over the stock to cock the Equinox. I have to squat down with the stock in front of my shoulder and come up then over the stock. It works just fine now, it took a little practice but now it's second nature. I can't wait to try it out at longer ranges. I have Monday off so hope the weather holds so I can go to the range. Boo I need your strings now that I have the Equinox. Anybody know how many Turkeys It takes to stop an arrow off an Equinox ??

Now my Signature make sense.......

You Da Man Todd !!! Thanks for an Awesome Bow !!!!!!!!!!!

Those arrows you made are kind of flimsy.. So I loaded a fence post instead. It blew up my block target, Blasted my fence, went through the neighbors Chevy, incinerated their dog house and now is on it's way to Canada. I didn't catch the warning about fence posts in the manual....... oops

The arrows are way cool actually. Especially the orange and white ones !!

Lots of good information on cresting arrows here and it's really easy to do.

Here's a good video on how to do it.
