Newbie. 2015 380 Matrix

Post by Pawguy »

Took the excalibur plunge. New to crossbows but not hunting. Looking forward to discussing and yes learning more about excalibur crossbows and fine tuning it. I have hunted and harvested Deer, Moose , Bear , Hogs and many other species but again never with crossbow. I have both fish and wildlife and law diplomas and conduct deer and wildlife management to properties. Like many of you I enjoy learning and sharing info on hunting and now crossbows. My techy skills on the other hand :lol:

Welcome to the forum Pawguy. Smart choice as there's a wealth of knowledge and information here that is freely shared. Don't be shy about asking questions, the wonderful members are only too happy to help. You'll begin to see a pattern of equipment used, and there's a good reason for it....as you'll find out. :wink: Again, welcome and looking forward to your input. :D

It's a place near Newtonville where husbands run over their wife's bow, dogs pee on that same wife's bow :mrgreen:
People tell stories that aren't true :lol: :lol: :lol:
Sometimes it smells like Texas, Maine, Ohio, Michigan etc. :lol: :lol: :lol:
It's family oriented (read no excess drinking or wild stuff) where crossbow like-minded people get together because we like each other from this forum.
There's a charity draw with worthy items. Last year a one of a kind 380 in snake skin was won!
Excalibur staff usually shows up. Even the founder, Bill Troubridge shows up (last year he bailed but this year he and his wife may show up. Danny Miller will be there this year.
There's even some friendly competition in the form of a 3D shoot and a distance shoot.
Do a search and you'll see some pictures. But remember, what has been seen cannot be unseen and what happens at Boofest stays at Boofest except this picture :lol: :lol: :lol:

WOW Boo. I have been thru Newtonville many times and never knew all that great stuff happens :D . Do we have a date for the 2015 BooFest ?? I also believe in the What Happens slogan . It really should be a fraternity or maybe it is and I wasn't notified, lol
