Some local Whitetails taken with Excalibur Crossbows ...
Lot's of Excalibur owners at my work place ...
Here are some pic's of some local whitetails taken with Excalibur crossbows and some stat's for sumner4991's survey ...
Man we hunted some nice weather days and some wicked torrential rain days , had a lot of fun , and took some tastey whitetails !
Chris K. takes his 1st buck ever with an Excalibur Paradox .
Approx 6 yard shot , hit slightly high ( understandably for 6 yards and of course complete pass thru ! )
Chris was out , on the ground with his 11 year old son Kurtis , covering a bean field . Kurtis heard the buck first and told his dad so ...
Chris looks up to see this buck walking right in to approx 6 yards.
When a shot opportunity came he launches a carbon bolt with a 130 grain WASP broadhead .
The buck ran approx 80 yards and jumps the fence towards Chris's truck before he expired ! ( gotta love it when they run towards the truck ! )
The arrow and broadhead ...
Last blood sign at the fence jump site ...
The walk up ...
A happy father and son team ! ( it doesn't get any better than that ! )
Excalibur Paradox
Carbon arrow with 130 Grain WASP broadhead
6 yard shot , double lung , approx 80 yard recovery distance .
Court P. aka " Petersen " scores his 1st archery / crossbow deer .
A nice 6 point . ( sorry ,weather was not agreeable for field pictures )
The buck came in during a morning hunt ... circled at 50 yards , after 2 short grunts the buck walked right in to 8 yards.
Excalibur Exomag custom with a Mark Henegar stock ( Wayne Jones old bow )
150 grain Excal boltcutter broadhead on a carbon firebolt .
8 yard shot , double lung , approx 100 yard recovery distance .
I arrowed a nice 7 point in the heavy rain Saturday
( sorry ,weather was not agreeable for field pictures )
Excalibur Y25 Relayer
Easton Aluminum XX75 with 130 Grain WASP broadhead
24 yard shot ( ranged ) , single lung , approx 100 yard recovery distance .
I didn't get a complete pass thru on this one ... he was quartering away and RH shoulder stopped the pass thru .
I did get one picture of the rack with my gear drying in the house ..
Brawler grunt tube , Primo's bleat can , and the short piece of the arrow on the seat it the part that broke off when he ran ...
Rob H. aka " Helmut " scores his 1st archery / crossbow deer .
Approx 20 feet up in a climber stand .
Excalibur Equinox
Easton Aluminum XX75 with 150 grain Excal boltcutter broadhead .
30 yard shot , double lung , approx 50 yard recovery distance .
Hows that for shot placement on your 1st crossbow deer !
Again ... not too many field pictures this time out , due to the torrential downpour rains , but we had a blast chasing whitetails over the last week .. Heck , it don't take long to dry out gear , and you can't get deer , sitting at home !

Anybody thinking about sitting at home and staying dry the next couple of days may have just changed their minds.
Thanks for the data R.J.
The deer are starting to move everywhere based on the success stories of late. Good to see.
Keep shooting.

I'd rather wear out than rust out.

I loved the Chris and Kurtis version I heard last night!
Not normal to see an R.J. Post so thin on pictures, may have to take up a collection and get you a waterproof camera! Or a good waterproof case NOT made by Dunlop.

Congrats to all who got a deer
Re: Some local Whitetails taken with Excalibur Crossbows ...
I was one of the foolish people whom decided that it was 'too wet' and 'too windy' and decided to go and have been kickin myself so badly for doing so!!! Some of the best hunting is to be had right now and I just can't believe that I have chosen to sit and not get out! Now I have to work 7 days days straight with no chance to hunt and then the gun hunt will be going on. Man o man this is driving me nuts.
Congrats to all you lucky guys who braved the elements.

Congratulations to all !!!!!
I was out all last week- nothing.
Glade to see some of us are taking deer
Gives me hope, never give up!
Man I love this time of year.

Congratulations everyone....way to go!
Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

That's a whole bunch of huntin' going on. Good on you guys for getting out and sharing the good times together. Keep it up. I know it can be a chore, but life's too short to pass up opportunities to hunt with friends.
