well i think i found something that actually works. ive tried the regular T/C breech lube and it still would almost seize up. then i tried never seize it seemed to be decent. last night i went and bout some new T/C T17 breech grease. went out and shot it today and brought it back in to clean it and it came out effortless. i hope it does it everytime like that. well thought i would let you guys know about it

You must be shooting triple seven. First use silver anti-seize lube on the threads and then Teflon tape, like you use on pipe threads. T-7 has seized up many a breech plug. If you cant get it out use a hand torch and heat it up real good and usually they will come out. Heat it up hot but don't get the metal red and use a vise. h.h. nope i just use pyro pellets. well i guess if it happens again and i cant get it out like i did ill just have them get me a new one as long as it is still under warranty so i dont have to fork over the money again

just seeing if anyone else has had problems with the breech plug seazing up on them and not being able to get them out. mine is pretty much brand new. i bought it in january and only shot it about 20 to 30 times i cleaned the entire gun spotless after every 5 to 8 shots through it and lubed the breech plug good when putting it back in and did not tork it down. well anyway i had trouble a few days ago getting it out but ended up getting it out. i shot it again yesterday 6 times just to make sure it was still shooting good and i couldnt get the breech plug out to save my life. called gander mountain and the guy acted like he really didnt want to talk with me or help me out and he had the nerve to tell me the best thing to do was through it in the trash. then i remembered the warranty and that they would have to get me a new one. at first he must not of thought i bought it from them, but when i said they would be the ones buying me a new one it seemed like he changed his tone. then i realized that i wouldnt have a gun to hunt with cause i dont want to use my shotgun and that it would probably take them a couple weeks to get a new one in cause they didnt have any that was the same as mine in stock the other day. so i took it out to the shop and wrapped a big towl around it and stuck it in the vise lightly. took some elbow grease but finally got it out. sorry about the long story but just seeing if anyone else has this problem and i just needed to vent over the guy at gander mountain

i have had three shoulder surgerys. i always dislocated mine. when it would happen during deer season i would just back the poundage down on my bow. it never hurt or bothered me to draw it back. still dont have any problems after all the surgerys. i only shoot 60lbs now to stay on the safe side if i had to be at full draw for a while

i have always had Willow Point Archery work on my bow if i ever need anything done to it while i was done there hunting. he would take a mathews in on trade for a new mathews. but since he has past away i dont know if the shop is going to remain open with someone else running it or be closed down. i have been by there twice when i was down hunting at my lease and it has been closed. just wandering if anybody had some insight on the shop or if you know anyother mathews dealers that take in trades on a new bow. i have a LX and was wanting to get a new Switchback after season is over. i live east of indy but dont really care where i have to drive fro a good bow shop

yeah i use the quantam glue from bohning and i tried pulling one off last night and couldnt budge it. i shoot with wraps on my arrows and he said he had problems even on wraps. not going to say who the guy is or were he is from, but i dont trust him a whole lot. last year a friend of mine went to have him put on a new whisker bisquit rest he said there was no way to get it lined up right so he ended up selling him a drop away. i was in there a week later picking up arrows i had him do (before i started doing my own) and guy was wanting a new bow and asked if he should get a drop away on it and he said that drop aways were junk and would not sell them to anybody. i thought that was kind of funny.

just wanted to know if anyone has had trouble getting the blazer vanes to stay on arrows good. i just started to shoot them this year and havent had a problem yet. had a guy at a bow shop say that he will never put them on another arrow again cause they dont stick good. then a guy that runs another bow shop that i love going to just loves them, he says that is the fletching that most of his costumers want on there arrows

take it to a bow shop and have them tune it up for you and check the string out on it, cause if it is a pretty old bow it more than likely will need a new string on it. they will help you out on your shooting skills if you say that you want some help

well i put them on the other day and got some fletchings on them they are pretty cool looking. in daylight they are white with a lil yellow hint to them. when i shut of the lights at night in the hunting room they really light up. i think they should do pretty good.
a little hint do not buy them anywhere but ebay you will spend 30 bucks on them anyhwere else. i got mine off of ebay for 13 bucks and that was with shipping
