Hi everyone. Greg here from the great state of Georgia!
I recently purchased an Axiom SMF package. I had it out of the box, set up and shooting like a laser beam within one hour. Way to go Excalibur for making it easy!
I have a question or two:
Mine is totally stock besides buying some string dampeners to help with noise. I am curious if I buy the 150 grain Bolt Cutter broadheads if they will match in weight to the field tips that come stock with my bow package. I cant seem to recall or locate the weight of the practice/field tips I have.
Second,
Does anyone know right out of the box with the completely stock specs and string how fast the Axiom SMF is shooting?
I really dig this bow and it is my very first cross bow. I plan on hunting bears in the GA mountains and deer in the suburbs of Atlanta where I live. I may even take it to our farm in south GA to hunt a big buck down there too.

Re: Newbie with a question or two about my Axiom SMF...
I found that my 150g Bolt Cutters fly a little low compared to the field points out of my Axiom. I was really surprised by this as I was expecting the same POI. I'm relatively new to the world of X-bows as well, so what I do is practice mostly with my Bolt Cutters that way when it comes to pull the trigger on a deer I know where my arrow is going to go. I also found that at 20 yrds I'm bang on with my cross hairs, but have to shoot a littler higher than the 30 and 40 yrd reticle to hit my mark. It could just be me...like I said I'm new to this game.

I'm left handed so bear w/ me a bit, yr bheaded arrows weigh 418 gr - 350 gr[min weight]= 68 gr/5=14 fps plus 10 more for excel string=24 fps from max of 305= 281 fps.
I put an arrow through a 1000 lb cow buffalo w/ a 440 gr arrow and the Slick Trick cut a rib in two on the offside and was hanging out a bit. My speed was a chronied 290 fps fwiw. Boo string to boot.
Should be good to go!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Newbie with a question or two about my Axiom SMF...
Awesome guys! Thanks for the responses. I have never been into bow hunting until I bought a compound second hand about 3 years ago. I am a long time gun hunter and new to bear hunting as well. Last year I totally lost a chance at a 250 pound black bear because he came in out of nowhere while I was on the ground hunting with my compound. He nearly stepped on me and spooked and bolted.
A dude I ran into that bear hunts here in GA turned me on to the Excalibur x bows because that is what he uses to hunt with and has been successful killing bears. I feel better now while hunting on the ground that I wont have to stand and draw in the situation a bear comes out of nowhere like last year. We cant bait here in GA, so you never know where/when one is going to come in from.
I hope to be able to post pics of me with a big ol' black bear and who knows, maybe a deer or two.
