O/T WELL FOLKS!! ITS ABOUT TIME!!

Post by bubba »

Been saving up and checked my jar today, and was still a little short, and my wife asked how close am I ? I replied maybe another two months or so, She then said I have been a good boy lately and my birthday is coming up, go for it!! you are good to go...YAAA BUDDYYY. In the last two weeks or so had the chance to draw and shot both the 355 and 380, have also checked out a couple scopes I was interested in so, I called David at Wyvern Creations and was told it will take a little while to get in stock what I wanted, I decided on the Excalibur Matrix 380 Mad Max topped with a Hawke XB1 SR scope, prefer it over the tach-zone. I've already ordered two custom Flemish strings 1. From Mike or Vixenmaster a tri color blended 8190. 2. From Keith a D97 tri color twisted to match the max1 camo of the bow. And I ordered one dozen arrows from a local arrow maker at South Shore Archery, 18" Zombies with a 92 grain brass front inserts, blazer vanes with a flo green cock vane and one red and black, with flo green plastic nocks...Hope to have all by the end of the month.{SMILE} I'm one happy hunter..................

Great news Bubba! Congratulations! That's my same setup. You're in for a real treat. If I may suggest, make sure they fletch your arrows with the Arizona Bolt E-Z Fletch with the extreme helical. I've tested the offset vs helical and the helical is much more accurate especially with broadheads. Just a suggestion. Don't forget to blue loktight all the fasteners before you start shooting. Enjoy! :D

That is a heck of a birthday present to you Bub and I really like the crossbow choices that you made with all that good info you absorbed here on the forum.
Congrats on you fine choices!
Next we are going to teach you to fletch like Paul said so that no long range targets are safe.

Yeah Buddyyyy!!!! You are going to love that setup. The 3 color vanes sound good too! I like 3 different colors. It's just cool, and if you need to use a different cock vane it's easy - no numbering required!
