I am proud to report that I got my first deer ever tonight with my Excal Equinox. This might seem ridiculous to some who have gotten hundreds, but it really meant a lot to me.
Got a late start in life on hunting (turning 40 early next month) though I've wanted to do it since I was a kid, just grew up with anti-hunting mum. Then other things took over for a good long spell and I wasn't able to realize the dream till I moved to northern PA.
Custom fletched some firebolts on the advice of some here. Have come here often for advice on tuning the xbow, beat the tiller problem and got it shooting right this past summer. Thank you.
Saw three deer come into sight of my blind, all does. 2 smaller ones and the one I've seen for two years that I call the Megadoe (bigger than she looks in the pic...I'm 250 lbs if it's any help for reference). She gave me a perfect broadside, squeezed the trigger at just 16 yards and put it exactly where I thought it would go.
Wife is all excited, now she wants doeskin moccasins and a jacket!
congrats!!!! great job, she's a nice one!!! p.s. i like the gloves.
