Excalibur’s public identity is the recurve crossbow rather than the compound, and the recurve layout carries a wide, open limb span that dominates every carry decision you make. Width is what catches doorways, gates and brush, and it is also what keeps the bow standing off your back instead of lying flat against it. None […]

Ravin’s public identity is the reverse-draw layout and a notably compact, narrow frame, and that shape changes how a sling behaves more than most buyers expect. A narrow bow has less width to catch in brush and less hardware hanging out past your shoulders, but it also balances differently and wants the sling to sit

A useful crossbow maintenance kit is short: rail lube, string and cable wax, hex keys that match your bow’s fasteners, a torque driver if your manufacturer publishes torque values, spare nocks, spares for whatever cocking device you use, and something soft to store the bow in. That list covers almost everything a crossbow will ask
Crossbow Maintenance Kits: What You Actually Need Read More
The short version on crossbow bolts weight: heavier total arrow weight carries more momentum downrange and generally penetrates better, while lighter total weight flies flatter and forgives a sloppy range estimate. Your bow’s manual sets a minimum total arrow weight, and that number is the one hard rule in the whole discussion. Everything above the

A support side transition means moving the rifle from your firing shoulder to the other one so you can shoot around cover on that side without leaning your body out into the open. With a two point sling attached, the rifle cannot simply move across: the webbing is anchored to your body, so the rifle

Carbine class sling setup comes down to three things: an adjuster you can reach and work without looking, mounting hardware that will still be tight at the end of the day, and a route across your body that keeps webbing clear of the ejection port and the charging handle. Sort all three before you arrive.

The best sling for an AR 10 is the one built for the extra weight, because weight is what makes a large-frame rifle a different problem to a carbine. Everything else follows from it: how the webbing sits on your shoulder over a long walk, how hard the attachment hardware is working, where the mounts

A sling is a shooting aid before it is anything else, and that is the part of a long range AR 15 setup most shooters skip. Wrapping into a loop or a hasty sling puts tension between your support arm and the rifle, which pulls the stock back into your shoulder and lets webbing and

An AR-15 setup for coyote hunting at night is built around a stationary rhythm, not a moving one. You walk to a stand in the dark with your hands already full, sit down and call, and then have to get from seated and still to shouldered and shooting without your sling fouling on a chair,

An AR-15 setup for hog hunting has to do two jobs that pull against each other. It has to hang quietly and comfortably while you cover ground on foot, then come up into your shoulder and settle in about a second when animals break cover. Most of that is decided by your sling, your mount

The best sling for an AR pistol or a short barreled rifle is one you can adjust precisely and reach without looking, because a short gun magnifies every small error. Less distance between the front and rear attachment points means a small change in length produces a large change in how the gun hangs. The

A tactical sling for an AR 15 works as a system, not as a single piece of webbing. Four decisions do most of the work: which front and rear attachment points you use, what hardware connects the sling to them, where the adjuster sits when the rifle is on your body, and how the webbing
