The problem seems to be fixed. I cut about 1/8 inch off each side of the safety. This does not affect the working of the safety. I also started placing the rope behind the trigger group instead of...

I asked my local pro shop (they do not sell PSE) about putting nocksets on the string and they did not think it was a very good idea as the bow may fling them off and possibly back at the shooter. I...

No, turning the hooks over does not help. The safety is too directly in line with the top of the rail and either up or down the hooks are too long not to contact the safety. I can draw the bow but...

Problem with PSE Crossbow

Being a newcomer to the crossbow shooting world I purchased more on price than anything else. I bought a PSE Viper at 165 lb draw. It shoots good but the safety is directly in line with the string....

Having 3 kids of my own and now 6 grandkids I'd say if they express interest, fuel it. Yes it does cost money to do that but you may find a lifetime hunting partner. My oldest son and I are best...

Looking for a good backstop

I am still looking for a good target butt for my crossbow. I tried to make one with compressed cardboard but no matter how tight I compress the stack my arrows still zip through. All I get done is...

My rope has the pulleys. My problem is when I pull the rope the hooks make contact with the safety pins and put the crossbow on safety. The string will not go into the trigger device with the bow...

Question

I am very new to crossbows. Used to shoot recurves and more recently a compound. Age and arthritis in the shoulder will not let me shoot regular archery equipment any more. I purchased a PSE Viper...

RE: american pioneer powder

I have to agree with most of the posters here. None of the substitues work well in a flintlock. The main reason is the ignition temp. Goex ignites at about 460 degrees but the rest of the substitutes...

RE: another new guy question about powder

RE: What should my next gun be?

About the only problem with a thumb hole stock that I can see is that it makes it downright difficult to impossible to shoot on the off shoulder. I have shot from the other side enough to take this...

RE: Belted Magnum Resizing Problems?

As I understand it the standard full length resizing die does not resize to factory specs but does reduce the fired case to somewhere between its fired size and factory new size.

RE: Everything Old is New Again!

Here is something that has not been discussed. That is liability. Think of it there are rifles out there in 30-06 that may be 100 years old as well as 270s that are 80 years old and 30-30s well over...

I have never shot a slug gun although I have fired slugs from a smoothbore and have put many many bullets downrange from a muzzleloader. Being from PA I have 4 or 5 flintlocks, a sidelock percussion...

RE: cost of muzzle loader shooting

Cost per shot all depends on what type of muzzleloader you plan on shooting. Before you decide on this finally check the game regs in your state and in states you plan to use it in.
If cost per...

RE: A question about patches?

You should also know what rate of twist your rifling has. If it is 1:48 or slower then a patched round ball should give good accuracy. If it has a faster rate of twist like 1;32 or 1;28 then the...
