Just want to say Aloha to all the guys on the forum. I have been reading almost all the topic and, seeing how you help with all your feed back. for the pass 8 weeks.
This Forum has the true, ALOHA SPRITE.......
I got Ecomax in April, right out of the box it was right on the money. (Thanks Dan Miller) I shot it for a bit. Then it was time to take it HUNTING!
I sat for about 4 hours watching deer. They were all out of rang. I thought my hunt was over! Then, one of the Bucks walk down to were I was. I forgot my rang finder at home. I took a look, he was still comming. I'm on ground, behind a log. There he was! I could not till if he was 20 or 30 yards. So I put it right in between the 20 and 30 yard marks on the scope. Then I let it fly. I hurd it hit. The deer just kind of shaked. And walk off. I thought I'd missed. I could not find the Bolt, there was no blood on ground.
So i just sat there for a bit..... It was getting dark. So I desided follow the path the deer took. 40 yards leter, there he was. I could not think. Crossbow Hunting is UNBEIEVABLE. Thanks Excalibur. Your The Best!!!
O'yeah, We have AXIS DEER in the Islands.

Congratulations Axis, I sure would like to see a picture of that. Are the Axis deer like a white tail or bigger, or smaller

Congrats Axis, it won't be long before the ole Exomag will be pointing to a Whitetail.

I've got the same question as GaryL, just how big are these deer, are their horns small ? Post a picture if you can.
