My New Excaliber Vixen!

Wow! that's all I can say about my new Excaliber Vixen!!!  Donnie recommended this cross bow to me and it took a little while to actually find one, but now that I have.......you gotta know that it is amazing!! Out target practicing with friend Richie yesterday and let me tell you that this cross bow is dead on!!  Right out of the box with just a couple little tweaks and we had her dialed in to dead on!!  Took 10 shots with practice arrow and broadheads 150 grain and let me tell you at 10, 20 30 40 & 50 yds there were 10 kill shots and 0 misses between us!

Our target was a deer decoy that we lovingly call Ugly Betty (private joke).  It is the ugliest deer decoy on the planet as one of the dogs decided to rip her head off and chew the living daylights of it!  LOL,,,,we thought she was done, but last deer season he stuck her in the field anyway, and believe it or not she still attracted doe and bucks alike......

The bad thing was that she also attracted the wolves and when we forgot to put her in the blind at the end of one hunting day, the wolves dragged her into the bush and commenced to tear into her.  You can well imagine what she looks like now between the dog and the wolves!

Ugly or not, she still has a lil life left in her and we will continue to use her for bow practice and if she can still stand up come whitetail season, she will stand proud in the fields again.
