Honest Review: Testing TenPoint's Evolutionary TX 440
For years the Ohio-based TenPoint company has produced some of the best crossbows money can buy in terms of quality, accuracy and ease of use. And they might have been somewhat guilty of "If it's not broke, why fix it?" But for 2024, the company debuts two crossbows, the TX 440 and TRX 515 that literally broke its own mold in. These crossbows utilized more modern CNC machining and less molded polymer to produce a new line of X-bows that have more features than ever. In this video, JJ reviews the TX 440, what he believes is the current sweet spot in terms of speed vs. accuracy.
Whiles it's likely the all-around best crossbow for hunters that TenPoint has ever produced--which means it's likely the best crossbow ever produced, period, surprisingly it's not the company's most expensive. That doesn't mean it is cheap.
JJ's purpose here is to make sure you know what you are buying, and what to expect, before you buy. View the whole video to see the unboxing and discovery process and testing protocols, or just watch the conclusion.
The bottom line is that it's fast, quiet, accurate and has multiple features that have been improved to bring the serious crossbow hunter a bow he or she can depend on. If you have any questions, be sure and ask JJ in the comments. He is beholden to nobody except you, the viewer. Thanks for watching!

RAVIN R18 Full (HONEST) Review
มุมมอง 4.3K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
Ravin's R18 from 2022 changed the crossbow game in terms of compactness which is commonly thought to be the crossbow's biggest drawback to hunters. For its radical design that departs from tradition and incredible engineering, JJ gives the R18 due credit. But as you'll see in this video, after full testing and in-the-field hunting use, he hopes the R18 is a launch pad from which Ravin will laun...

    Good review- I just picked one up. The one thing I don't like is how light the bolts are. Other than speed, have you seen any adverse arrow flight effects of switching to 150 gr heads? Have you experimented with 200?

  • @redred2772
    @redred2772 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Very interesting, as someone thinking about deer hunting with modern speed bow, they have the accuracy and penetration for killing at greater distance so that doesn't seem to be an issue but how much does time to target limit an ethical shot? are the heavier arrows fast enough for 50-60-70-80 yards? Speed of sound and reaction time of you target animal should give you a ball park for a given speed? That would be interesting to test.

  • @Jimmy2toes4u
    @Jimmy2toes4u 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I just told all 4 of my mounts that they can get down, also all the deer and hogs in my freezers they are free to go since my lighter arrows obviously don’t kill them. Seriously though, the flipping entire premise is that our ancestors used heavy FOC arrows to increase penetration….. yeah cuz those bows are SLOW. It’s like naval artillery from the age of battleships or hell even SRBMs meant to engage ships, you are essentially lobbing your arrows into the target so you want gravity to aid in that slow trajectory to gain penetration…. How? By increasing FOC. But a speeding flat shooting munition or arrow negates the need for that by blowing through using speed alone. They both kill and neither one kills more deader. There may be a time for heavier arrows absolutely but whitetail in KS ain’t it imo.

    The first shot is tighter than the second, assuming the attacker would be closing on the defender. The right way to test is first shot farther, second shot closer. I carried these for many years before Kimber got involved. The manufacturer is Piexon, and the original product was the Guardian Angel, without pistol grip or sights.

    Most right handed people will use the left hand as their distance keeper. So they can punch or use the right. I like the idea of the back carry tho for a lot of scenarios. I think you could train some good sneaky draws plus if you have to suck for cover you can get to it.

Please let me know what you think about it, after you have it set up and doped out. I'm just one guy and I'd love to have more data. I'd say bite the bullet and order some extra arrows! Also, for hunting, i recommend Sevr broadheads. Titanium, go with the 150 grain. They actually quiet the bow and are tough. They're the only mechanical I'll shoot with a crossbow now, and you really need mechanicals after about 350 fps because fixed blades start flying squirrely. They lock open after impact too, and can be locked so you can sight in with them. Just my 02.. but man they are pricey!

    You discuss a lot of good points and offer great tips on how to reduce felt recoil when shooting a shotgun. I shoot 12-gauge slugs 90% of the time and I'm sure these tips will help me shoot more comfortably. I've just added 1/2 inch to my LOP to improve my sight positioning, but I think it might reduce felt recoil a little too. I may try a LimbSaver recoil reduction pad at some point as well.

    it really isn't hard to prove, you dump the same energy in a really short distance with a greater force or longer distance with a lower force. any spring element in the equation will reduce the amount of force the shooter is exposed to but the total energy won't change. very similiar to automotive suspension.

    There is a reason why .300 Blackout (7.62 x 35) has gotten popular since its introduction around 2009. It pushes past the limitations of 5.56 x 45. It can use 85 to 220 grain bullets, and the 110 grain supersonic rounds work well for hunting medium game using most of the standard AR-15 components. I used to have a .300 Blackout but I sold it off for a 7.62 x 39 AR-15. 7.62 x 39 is not as versatile as .300 Blackout but it is cheaper and it allows me to get more ammunition.

    • @macy725
      @macy725 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I disagree that the x39 isn't as versatile. If you hand load you can load up to 220gr. Unfortunately there just isn't as much load data due to lack of interest.
