It’s almost May, and prep for my Alberta black bear hunt is underway. I have a soft/hard case for the 10 Point crossbow, but honestly…it looks flimsy.
Accordingly, I purchased a SKB Hard Case today. SKB has made gun and bow cases for air travel for years. Thanks to Dave at Wyvern Creations the case was in stock. Not cheap, as you can see below.
While we we were at it, I replaced my bow cables and made other mechanical crossbow repairs. Dave did a great job while I waited. Because the new bow cables will stretch, I began a break-in process.
At first, I made elevation a lateral shooting adjustments then loaded the bow and left it loaded for a few hours. Yup, the cables stretched and my arrow hit 5 inches low at 35 yards. More adjustments were made. I expect more as the cables settle.
On a separate note, I have a Mackenzie 3D bear target that is so stiff that pulling arrows was a nightmare. I solved it by removing the vitals block, and placing another easier arrow pulling black target behind it and visible from the front.
I’m ready for the hunt!
Good Shooting!
