While I Was Away From The Forum This Summer…

[cshold]

I crossed over to the ‘dark’ side.
I never shot a crossbow in my life till this summer.
For many years I had some not so good thoughts about guys
that hunted with crossbows. Well I’m eating humble pie now.
This thing is a total blast; And I’m totally into it.


The day I got my new toy (Excalibur Eclipse).




All put together.




Built a wall rack to hang it.




Built a bolt rack.






Everything just the way I want it.




Added a small leather storage pouch to the stock.




First time I shot it in.









I’m ready for archery season.

Well heck if you was gonna buy onna dem der tings you coulda atleast gotten a "Parker" crossbow

I mean after all that would be only fitting since you have a shotgun by the same name

To be honest I've been looking at the Ten Point , Barnnet , Scoryped and Bowtech crossbows for a couple years now

Just proving I'm capable of a little diversity from time to time

I've always found "diversity" in my toys to be rather expensive !

I have a hard time having just one of anything

[Blaine]

Can't hunt with them in stupid, Big-Poo-Poo Washington

That's really cool, though.

[Griff]

I ain't got the time to play w/the toys I have... without adding more things for the Mrs to dust! See, I can be considerate! Somehow, I just know she won't buy that...

[AJMD429]

THIS is the crossbow I really lust for....

• PSE Crossbow 'upper'...

Sorry, I guess it's my "EBR" mindset...

[Dave B]

Nice!!!

I have to admit, that's pretty cool.

[cshold]

There are a lot of real nice well-made crossbows out there nowadays.
The reason I went with an Excal recurve, the simplicity of there bows.
No tune-ups, a whole lot less moving parts that can break or wear out.
And I can do a string change out in the field in about a min if need be.

WOW, one of them Black Assault bow & arrow gizmo's

Good thing you got one before the ban takes place.

Actually it is a cool looking crossbow. How hard to cock it?

Lady J already spilled the beans on you with this project. She posted your surprise when she returned from a trip. Nice set up and I like your reasoning on your choice. Blessings

I was actually expecting it to be harder to cock then it really is.
De-cocking with the rope isn't even that bad, just have to be
careful and definitely make sure you removed the bolt from
the rail first.

LOL ya I know, she stole a little of my thunder, thank God
she puts up with me and my big boy toys

[damienph]

I like that! I don't believe that they are legal to hunt with in KS either.

[1894c]

i believe you are now well beyond therapy... :)

[cshold]

i believe you are now well beyond therapy...

Very true 336, It just never really ends does it

[RIHMFIRE]

very cool....
I was thinking of getting one due to my bad left rotator cuff...

sure would beat holding back a compond bow for a long time...
waiting for that shot...

[86er]

Great set-up. I like the Excalibur over all other designs.

[Nath]

Casternett you are a class act You wood workin' is real impressive.

I keep looking at cross bows, they ain't legal for hunting with over here so I would need to stay in the deep woods

Your bad influence is making my itch far worse than I need it to be!

God bless and good luck.

Oh, I meant to ask, how far was that target and whats the drop like over distances?
