$30 from Wall Mart
 
So, it fits like it was made for it.. This will make it too easy to transport..
The case was marked from 60 to 30 dollars.. I bought two.

Looks good David! Just curious if taking the bow off the stock changes your POI any? Have you ever noticed any changes after putting it back on and shooting again?

Hoyburn, amazingly it does not affect the accuracy. I watched digger assemble his one day and then hit bullseye after bullseye without having to adjust anything. I believe that if your transporting any distance or where space is at a premium, then that case or the double rifle case (which digger uses) would be best as it takes up alot less room then a normal crossbow case (alot cheaper too).

Jason,I take mine apart and re-assemble all the time w/ no change. Ya kinda gotta take one down to see this, but the part of the riser that mates to the rail has a small lip on either side that fits very close, over-lapping the rail, so even w/o the screws in place, it tends not to want to swivel or turn. This also comes into play if those two screws aren't loc-tited and loosen up a tad, you still hold your zero. By a tad I mean when you put your allen wrench in one and it is so loose you go "Dang, glad I caught this now" lol. Best results, keep em tight!

I had to send my limbs and riser into Dan Miller [Phoenix], one foul too many, lol, took six days total, he replaced both limbs and the dissipator
bars, no charge. While I was waiting, I unbolted the riser/limbs off of my Emax and put it on the Phoenix, I was just under an inch low at 20 yds.

Looks like it was meant to be.......? yes ?....So you do not need to unstring the recurve when you take it down like that.?........Just take the bolts out and leave it strung.........?.
If thats the case,the Vortex is looking better every week......

RE: $30 from Wall Mart
 
The only time you need to unstring an Excalibur, is when you plan to store it in a HOT ENVIROMENT or for an extended period of time. If you have the DP pads and unstring the bow, remember to remove the pads first (simple and quick to do).

you folks should know if it changes the POI,but all years i did things like this,not crossbow but everything else,it always changed the POI.

"i dont care if you go after me for whatever your reasons are,but dont cause me to have some nut trying to locate me like before..thanks,sproul.. "


I can't imagine why!:eek:

It is very secure in there, whenI said I bought two it was for good reason.. They only come with three straps so the stock would have been loose in there. Also, the foam on the top didn't come with it, it is from the second case as well, there is no practical reason for me putting it there, it doesn't touch anything.
When closed there is about a 2" space between the mounted arrows and the bow parts, nothing budges.

That's the ticket. I've got to get me one of those, thanks for posting.

A guy at Bass Pro showed me how it was done, it can be a bit decieving at first, the stirrup goes around the handle, otherwise it wouldn't fit..

Pipe, one question: does that gpounder mount let the case close w/o removing it?

Sure does, looking at the photo you can see two pillars on the case on each end of my scope, they line up to two pillars on the lid to keep the case from being able to be crushed. There is way more room in there than needed for the bow, but it is just enough to allow me to keep that mount on there.

Thats cool that you can take apart and assemble the CB with out it affecting your POI. I received another 50 buck card at work this week for cabelas, so 125 down, 375 to go and the vortex will be a reality!

Pydpiper 03-24-2007 12:28 PM

RE: $30 from Wall Mart
 
I held the Vortex, it is very nice!

I made some changes today, added a half dozen slicks and various other game heads, made a strap mount for the quiver so it doesn't flop around and also added a nylon bag that is also Velcro strapped down that holds a spare string the stringer and a rope cocker.
The void on the right is being reserved for a bottle of rye and bandaids.:D

Now all I need is somewhere to go..:)

The Hortons will fit in about any of the multitude of hard cases made for xbows, the recurves won't due to limb width differences. Piper got a deal.

At Christmas Bass Pro was selling the case for $30 too, I just didn't see the need for it then.

all I have to say is you got a nice setup there.My case I got for my Tenpoint is like hauling a trunk around but it was on sale for 40.00.Iam going to do what you did when I get my recurve,build one out of two.
