The reason people dont like the 420fps advertising, is because this bow is not designed to shoot 100gr bolts. Shooting a 100gr bolt of this would be the equivalent of dry firing the bow. Even the 160gr bolt sold with the bow are too light. I understand that you are not the manufacturer, just a US distributer like William tell archery, and you don’t set the specs. But still it is false advertising
AT 3 RIVERS ARCHERY YOU CAN ADD WEIGHT TO THE SHAFT WITH THEIR WEIGHT TUBES. You have a choice of 3 grains per inch, 5 grains per inch or 8 grains per inch,.. see the heavier your arrow the more of the bows energy it absorbs and down range it equals more penetration because it hits harder. Great video, pretty much right on information. I think you get about 8 feet away from a chronograph though? And Kinetic Energy is not FPS And I don't think your Arrow shooting device is 5 pounds either? What proves this whole subject matter is getting a road killed deer and using it as a test subject to see penetration at different ranges. You have perhaps 3 types of Crossbows,........Show them all side by side,... in use? But I always love this guys enthusiasm. I honestly don't think there is a better designed crossbow out there.
The fact I cannot use Rocket Broadheads with this bow is the only reason I do not own one. Expandable heads suck Sevr, Bowmar all suck . Rocket broadheads of yesterday are still the most lethal killing tools on the earth in broadheads. I won't shoot a bow hunting that I cannot use Rocket heads. Rocket heads are the difference between instant kills and long tracking adventures no one wants. The best head ever made for hunting must be on the arrows when I choose to use a bow. Rockets kill like a .150 grain .308 and everything else kills like a bow. Give me this thing in 100 lbs and not in a full sized package. Same bow but with 100 pounds of draw. I will use a cocker . I do not need the autococker if that is what is keeping me from big pound hand crossbow. The cocker is your claim to fame and only your claim whatever . I just want the small pocket bow to use when driving around on my side by side hell put the MegaBat cocker on the pistol I would use it. I would buy the megabat but I won't buy a full sized c-bow with a shooting rail shelf. The bow being modern needs to lose the contact point. Bolt contact is TERRIBLE . Adding a 3rd vane to the bolt to make broadheads fly is the opposite of making things better. If I have to add a down vane to make the tiny bolt stable we are talking about a joke not a bow. If you cannot use the Rocket broadhead what is the point?

I use 3" feathers with an aggressive helical and the arrows fly great

I used swhacker broadheads for deers with no problem at all. I like it.
Can you also do this for the forward facing limbs ?
Is the steel insert just recommended to gain FOC and add weight to the bolt? I’m thinking of leaving the aluminum bolt with like a 150-175 gr head.
Cara sou muito apaixonada nessa balestra reversa, sou do Brasil e estou louco para comprar uma por favor me ajuda a importar uma
Theo Von trying to sell me a crossbow.
