- Bunjie the Third, the newest addition to the Death by Bunjie Family of Crossbows, suffers its first (and hopefully only) dry fire.
This channel is about my love of the crossbow, hunting, and the outdoors. I hunt exclusively with the crossbow. I love it and I aim to help you love it, too!

Bunjie (The O.B.) is a 2010 Excalibur Axiom Crossbow. After more than a decade of killing deer, hogs, squirrels, woodchucks, and even a bear, Bunjie is now semi-retired. Enter Bunjie III (or Bunjie '21, Bunjie 3.0, The Slick Black Cadillac of Crossbows) a 2021 Scorpyd Deathstalker 420, the result of trying various models and looking at dozens of them online for characteristics I liked. It is, in fact, a gift from a Friend of Bunjie, which goes to show how important Friends of Bunjie are to this channel and what an impact they can have. Bunjie III is a testament to modern crossbows, producing over .7 slugs of momentum and almost 140 ft-lbs of kinetic energy with stock arrows--at nearly 400 fps!
Bunjie, Jr., is my daughter Genevieve's crossbow, an Excalibur Micro Suppressor 355. This crossbow was also a much appreciated gift from a Friend of Bunjie, and it changed Death by Bunjie forever by inspiring Genevieve to become a part of our story as a second-generation crossbow hunter, and it also convinced me there is a benefit to a newer, faster crossbow (see our 2020 Maryland Doe Hunt).
Again, I am not sponsored by these companies. I am sponsored by Friends of Bunjie! (I'm not asking for gifts whatsoever--please don't feel like you should send me stuff! But I do appreciate the support I've received over the years! I'm just trying to express my appreciation for that.)
This channel is the result of combining my interest in filming and hunting...and music, too! My related channel, Yankee Militia, showcases my music. Some of the music is hunting-related, so check that out, too! The soundtrack for this channel is provided by my band, so the two are intertwined. The albums "Live Free or Kill" and "Zombies Gotta Eat, Too!" are available on Amazon.com and elsewhere. A third album is in the works.
All Hail Bunjie!
--Rich Wilson, Death by Bunjie
Your original Bungie is laughing and saying you should have taken me LOL 😂🤣🤣😆
The Curse of Bunjie indeed!
Over the course of about 7 years I dry fired my Excalibur Matrix 355 about 3 times. I called Excalibur and they said it would be fine. I've been using it dry fire free for the last 5 years and it shoots great. I was lucky.
That Matrix 355 is one heck of a crossbow that's for sure, good luck out there!
Stuff happens. I like how honest and humble you are, yet you stay positive. Love the support from your family!
I shoot crossbow, but tried shotgun season a few weeks ago, and had an accident that busted my eyebrow. I was bummed. But I got back at it yesterday with my crossbow and took home a big doe! Love your channel, keep it up!
Sorry to hear about that, thanks and good luck!
A similar thing happened to my best friend. After the incident, we drove over an hour to a well respected sporting goods store to restring his crossbow. The tech there related numerous similar stories that all had one thing in common, decocking arrows. Instead of replacing the one that was destroyed in the incident, he advised buying a small decocking TARGET. You use your same arrows, albeit with a field point, so same vanes and nocks.
Not a bad plan at all, I actually have a decocking Target in the truck! And I have a field Point Arrow in my quiver! I just don't like walking in and out with it cocked haha
@@Deathbybunjie I've shot many deer while walking in or out from my stand
@Frank Bun good point...but after dark like this time it's a no no lol but yeah I do walk in cocked depending on where I'm at
@@Deathbybunjie We all get to hunt in our own way, as long as it's safe and legal.
Thanks for sharing. I would change the fletching on the bolt you use for decocking so this mistake does not happen again.
Already done, great minds think alike!
I’m glad bunjie survived
All my cocking vanes are marked with magic marker because its hard to make out the difference between light green and white when your nocking an arrow in the dark before first light and as you know, when discharging an aluminum arrow at the end of the day. "Dry Fire" could be a good rock song!
Oh, man, I will put a song called dry fire on my next album haha I only wish I had a video or audio recording of the sound that thing made wow was it loud. The key is to have the headlamp on and not screw up like this again lol.
Good recovery. I still have a few of those Easton bolts from the late 80's. Packed the gear away 3 days left in season with the snow melt and rain flood warnings. Have 25lbs of venison ready to go for pepperettes, so a good season overall.
Oh, man, you are killing me with the pepperettes, I have to get going on that stuff. I kind of would like to shoot one more deer though. Congrats on the upcoming food items! Lol.
I concur with Jim McCourt and I too love your honesty and humility. I did my first dumb stunt last summer when I shot mine with the draw cord still attached. It left quite an impression on me - literately. My thumbnail is still somewhat black today. I'm lucky it wasn't a dryfire, just launched the cord across my wrist and the cord handle into my thumbs. (Maybe I'm the first guy in history to ever shoot a crossbow with draw-rope attached? ) Anyway - glad you are ok.
Wow! That's amazing glad it's all behind you and good luck in 2023!
Well when the TH-cam channel master crossbow master makes this kind of mistake and suffers a "dry fire" disaster, It kind of makes me fell a little better because I've had a record number of crossbow accidents, misfires, dry fires, and arrow string jumps that I'm so frustrated with crossbows in general! This is why I simply will not spend lots of money on what is a "STRING" Instrument, and it doesn't play music either! Nice video Rich, and at least you know how to fix this stuff, as I have to go see the pro shop experts with bow presses! Good luck in the Second Crossbow Season!
LOL thanks Ron
Glad the Dry Fire didn`t hurt B3 just your pride you will get over that. Enjoyed it Rich.
Unfortunately my pride has gotten over it many times in the past haha don't forget we even did this on a live stream once. But you're right, correct mistakes, learn from them and move on, that's what I say!
I bet that gave you a brown streak and a new found respect for Bunjie Power!
There's actually a slick decocking aid that mounts on crossbows and allows you to uncock it without any harm, or without having to shoot it out. Happy new years to you Rich, Genevieve, and your wife!
Thank you, you too!
What a relief. Glad it's still good to go. I can just imagine how disheartening that incident must have been. I might have cried, myself.
I was pretty disappointed with myself, thanks, and so far so good we got lucky
Thats a scary thing to happen. I have a decocking bolt and i made sure it doesnt look like my actual bolts. My quiver only holds 3 , so sometimes I buy a pack of disposable decocking bolts. 6 in a pack. Glad you got it back together and no real damage.
That can happen to anyone. The nocs for Scorpyds are alwaysa captured noc and you can hear them snap into place. However, you're used to non captured noc and no sound and have used that system for several years. Always wait for the click with the Scorpyd
That’s why I love my ten point, easy decocking with the accudraw is an awesome feature.
I just don't like cranks though LOL
I know you’re old school bud 😉 nothing more reliable than a manual pull. Prior injuries make this by far the easiest option for me, safe even if I need to stop halfway.
Awesome Job! Scorpyd doesn’t offer the spring loaded string stops anymore. I have 2 Aculeus crossbows. I have 110lb Aculeus and a 460 with the Scorpyd Aero Crank. I have not used the 460 since October 2020. I can cock the 110 with short cocker and shoot at least 3 times as long as it takes to crank up the 460.
I did the same thing to my Scorpyd Ventilator. Took my half moons out and installed the Firenock’s. I lined the new nocks for a vertical bow. 💣💥
Ouch! Glad it survived.
Uhhhg! Sorry that happened to you bud. But if it’s any consolation it’s happened to me as well and probably a lot of us. Glad there didn’t seem to be any structural damage and glad it was a relatively easy fix for ya. Muzzleloader is coming up this weekend for us here in the buckeye state. Sighted in!! 👍
Awesome 👌 good luck!
I’ve dry fired my share of compound bows. Haven’t blown up but watch for limb splinters. They can usually be trimmed with Swiss file to a smooth surface. It sucks for sure. 👍
Now you need Bunjie #4....New TenPoint...lol...Thanks for sharing..It happens.
Wow glad it's ok. Glad you didn't get hurt. Good luck late season Bow
Thanks! We'll see what happens for the rest of the season. Good luck if you get out!
Sorry to hear. It’s nice my Tenpoint allows me to decock without shooting it.
It didn't hurt it...I just restrung it myself, all good
I hunt crossbow during rifle season in PA too. We're hardcore. :)
The kids laughing sound effect kills me for some reason.
😃😄😁
At least you can restring the bow with no press.
Yes, I suppose my ratchet strap does not qualify as a bow press haha
I did the same thing this year. My "discharge" arrow had different color fletching and I was not paying attention, put the wrong fletch down and fired, sounded like a .410 shotgun and string broke on both ends. Used a ratchet strap with some tape and changed the string. Made me feel better that someone else made the same bonehead move. 🤜🤛
I hear that! I told Genevieve that sounded like a 22 Magnum but the .410 shotgun is another great example, it really was that loud! I'm pretty sure the neighbors thought I was poaching deer after dark LOL
That's why people stick to Excalibur
So they can replace limbs? 😆 in all seriousness though the Original Bunjie has survived its share of dry fires, that's for sure!
Compound vs Recurve! Enough said... ...apart from Excaliburs rule! lolololol Happy New Year everyone.
Well, had this been an excalibur, we would first have to hope that the limbs survived the high draw weight. And then, I would have had to have gotten out the crank and a special device to change the string. Here I just needed a dowel rod. Believe it or not, I've done both, and I got to tell you this one's actually easier and faster to change the string on LOL. I'd even go so far as to say that it's easier to change the string on this scorpyd than it is on the wide limb excalibers! With that I need to pull back all the draw weight, but here I can do it with one hand. I never really thought about that before, but that would make a good video topic.
@@Deathbybunjie Spoil-sport! No, joking aside, I am glad you managed to sort it out easy enough, I just miss poor Bunjie Sr. Happy New Year.
@Phil Rosa-Leeke LOL thanks happy New Year to you too, and by the way I am looking at the Original Bunjie right now in the trophy room haha it's doing just fine lol.
You need to seek help for that iced coffee addiction... All that crossbow energy has to go somewhere. My crossbow dry fired on a fractured nock. It sheared a steel screw off on the scope mount base I guess from scope whiplash. Did not affect the prod, string, or anything else. I gun hunt as well, but favor arrows over bullets and have gone entire seasons without picking up a deer rifle. Our crossbow deer season ends 16 Jan. Can still shoot furbearers up into February. I shifted from my deer arrow at 520 grains and now shooting 460 grains with monolithic Ozcut Chinese nockoff that costs maybe two bucks. Very tough head. Totally capable of taking a deer, but shifting to varmints, especially fawn and egg eaters.
Yep, lots of cool stuff left to do with crossbows, that's for sure, thanks for watching and good luck out there!
That sucks in many ways but also speaks large volumes for Scorpyd because i never seen a compound bow survive a dry fire or a partial dry fire.
Unless super low poundage like a a 50 lb vertical compound. Anything else was major catastrophe.
I agree, I don't think most modern crossbows have the same result, the string was the weakest link apparently but on most of the modern ones I think the limbs go
@@Deathbybunjie absolutely limbs cams tiny parts that have no name lol it all just gets thrown into the void lol.
You may have done this already but make sure you check the posts on the cams where cables and stings attach. I have witness in some cases these post will actually get bent depending if it was a full blown dry fire or not. Good to see the limbs held up to that, testament to their durability.
I did give them a quick wiggle and everything seemed solid. I didn't feel any extra play in it or anything. A great point!
Look it over reel good .I had that happen go my 350 Stryker . I thought I needed only needed a string. They replaced cams because it mess the cam bearings up . I couldn't tell but the bow tech could. Better luck with your.
We shall see!
New word for the day: pertvaining
I still use a cross bow similar to your original bunjie, the Excalibur phoenix. My wife uses the Excalibur Micro 340. We are both successful EVERY year with these cross bows. The latest and greatest with pulleys and wires and of course the Hindu bit willers, only means that more things can go wrong. But, your video content and presentation is very good and you continually prove the KISS theory. Your hunting methods look solid. Maybe it’s ok to tailor your hunting to the original bunjie’s limits. Another analogy comes to mind…..If it ain’t broke……🌲🌲🦌🌲🌲👍 I’m looking forward to more cross bow hunting videos, thanks.
Nothing is more simple at 400fps than a rope cocker though, and 150lb draw weight makes that possible. I love my old Excalibur but come on, you have to be impressed by the fact that all I had to do was replace a string by hand. It took like 10 minutes and it was only off by an inch. That's pretty cool!
Make sure you check to see if the cams were damaged! Look at the place that the loops attach to the cam make sure you don’t see stress signs, white discoloration in the black anodization. bent axles. Split limbs.
Good point, I looked at them pretty good, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, and there was no play in them so I think we're pretty good! It's accurate as far as I have room to shoot in the 60 Yard Backyard so I'm thinking if there's a problem it would have showed Itself by now, hopefully!
@@Deathbybunjie 🫡
You're not the only one
Me to. Very dangerous
Adjust that sight slightly right Rich😂. Your good to go!
Done and done!
haven't had any issues with my crossbow, and hopefully never will, but years ago I had my 70lb english longbow do the instant conversion to kindling at full draw while shooting at the public archery range, pretty sure everyone on the line that day needed a change of underwear.
Eeeeeek I bet!
Not sure about yours but most crossbows don't need a press. Just back out the limb bolts half turn each till the tension of off the cables. My killer instinct bc415 takes 3 turns out to remove cables and my limb bolts have 12 turns in them before they come out. fyi
Ya man that is scary stuff, I have a killer instinct 425 and I did the same thing with a turned nock and it broke both string dampners ,scared the crap outta me, but it is still shooting after replacing them and a lesson has been learned 😁
That's what it's all about, learn from our mistakes and move on! Good luck out there!
I have the same coat. Lol. I hate to have to wear it. Lol. So cool you can change the string yourself. Def a plus. Orange string is cool. And the limbs survived. Most importantly. Awesome.
Thanks, George, are you all done?
@@Deathbybunjie oh no. My 4th crossbow seasons runs to February 19th. Tomorrow is last day of permit bow in one zone and permit muzzleloader in another. I’m not sure if I can hunt because Covid 19 got me. But not to bad. January 1st starts winter bow state wide and still permit muzzleloader in another zone till January 9th I believe and permit shotgun available if I need another buck tag. Was a tough year for me. 4 small deer for the freezer so far. Some big deer around but mostly nocturnal for now. I have patience. I will be persistent. Lol.
@George Keith hope you feel better, sounds like lots of time left!
I like to use the factory centerpoint arrows which I'll never hunt with and a field point for decocking. I did have those little barnet decocking darts but the problem with those is you never find them lol
Good plan
Never would have happened with an Excalibur.
Um, I've done it five times with the Original Bunjie 😆 over 13 years that is
These things are unfortunate but as long as no one is hurt the best case scenario learning experience. I dry fired an Excalibur Exomax once because I forgot to put an arrow in and it damaged the bows limbs and bent the limb silencer brackets. This bow stored a lot of energy though. Your bow should be fine especially if your POI doesn't change dramatically from it's original sighting. If for example, the shot moves six inches to the right it will indicate damage to one limb and dropping will indicate a loss of power.
Oh, yeah, it will show itself if there's a problem with the limbs or cams, time will tell! Great point!
I had a failure on my scorpyd velocity. I’d put a new string and cable set on and first draw caused a limb to fail. Scorpyd covered the replacement of both limbs! I love that company and their equipment.
Spoke with the man after he replaced the limbs and he thinks the xbow had been overdrawn. I couldn’t figure on how that happens but maybe the new string was twisted too much, causing a short axle to axle width.
Have you checked to make sure your xbow is in spec as far as those measurements?
That's crazy to hear! Glad they covered it. Yes I check measurements pretty regularly to make sure nothing has loosened up, and I was doing that before I had this problem lol. I checked the timing and the brace I both quite frequently. So far so good! Good luck to both of us!
@@Deathbybunjie cool. I wouldn’t want to see you go through what I did. It happens just before the season started! They got it back super quick, probably because they knew it was crunch time.
I ended up passing on a nice buck our first time out, thinking my wife would have a chance it him. She never did. A week later I got an equally nice buck. Wide gnarly 7 point weighed 175 fully dressed. Wouldn’t have happened if they took longer. Scorpyd is the only xbow I look at now.
Man, that sucks. Think I’ll stick with my Excalibur for bow season and go to firearms from then on.
I actually am pretty impressed with this, all I did was replace the string and go back out hunting
New crossbows are like new cars , a bit flaky
Damm that sucks
Get 60x string for it and cables best out there that’s the first thing I do to my crossbow didn’t even shoot it with the stock string
Any effect on speed with their strings?
@@Deathbybunjie no if anything they shoot a little bit faster and speeds stay more accurate and they are located in PA and they last 1,000s of shots as well. I don’t trust stock strings after my barenett failing as well shortly after buying it durning the hunting season. You can call them I’m sure they would Anwser anything really nice people but I remember their website saying about the speed I have had their strings on all my bows crossbow and compound never had a issue. I believe they make their strings a certain way and they are super strong I love them and would highly recommend maybe even make a video how they do on speed with your machine be a cool video.
@@sschriver110 I will look into them, I had good luck with the stock strings but I use America's best bow strings these days, had pretty good luck so far.
I know you dont prefer cranks but…… I just had my ravin 26 restrung and mounted my new Burris Oracle scope waiting for good weather to try that setup
I bet that Ravin and that scope is a great combo, good luck!
Are you using a full capture nock? The Firenock “U” nock is specified for the Scorpyd death stalker models. The “Q” nock on the other Scorpyd models
There is an audible “click” when the Firenock nock snaps onto the string
Anything aside from that you have the potential for a “partial dry fire”
This is a different system that your older traditional crossbow.
Also make sure that the cams did not get warped.
Unfortunately you’re learning the hard way
I don't care for the Firenock nocks. I use the Parker style Lumenoks. For years, the Scorpyd website has said they're OK, although now they recommend only the Firenocks. They don't snap on but there's plenty of contact and accuracy has been perfect. This is just user error but likely not a mistake I'll repeat LOL. It's shooting 💯 now though, all good.
@@Deathbybunjie
I have several Scorpyd models My first was a Ventilator 175 and it came with moon nocks (crescent nocks). Earlier, and I had a partial dry fire with the same results. I’ve gone to the Firenock system. It’s a little more work setting them up if you want to use the lighted nocks. I see that you like to hunt from ground blinds and so do I. The only disadvantage to that is after the arrow goes through the deer, intends to skim into the ground. That’s where the lighted nock shines as it gets dark. There’s a good chance of recovering the arrow. Also, a metal detector comes in handy for that.
Ever since I went to the Firenock system, I have not had any partial Dry fires. The sound of that nock clicking on the string is reassuring. I have heard of guys having partial dry fires with the Parker nocks. If you lower the front of the crossbow at any point, there’s always a chance it could slip off.
The Firenock system requires a little more work setting up the arrows
@@johnforsyth8414 no doubt the firenock will prevent the partial dryfire if you hear that click. Mayraki stopped but still no thanks LOL
👍😃✌️
I like bows without training wheels
That's nice
Maybe you should sell it
Is there a Bunjie Rich won’t dry fire?
Lol we have not found one yet haha
My crossbow got ran over idk if it can be fixed
That stinks, good luck!
A ratchet strap hu? My crossbow had a derail a few weeks ago and I haven't had a chance to get it to the bow shop to have the string put back on the cam, ...but now I'm thinking about trying myself
I don't know that it will work with other crossbows and I certainly wouldn't recommend it, but it is what it is and it worked in my case haha. I only had to crank it three times. Just needed that little extra oomph. Haha.
@@Deathbybunjie good point, the limbs on yours are much more parallel to each other,... probably wouldn't be safe in my case
So, the 3rd Crossbow season started on the 26th? Also known as the Flintlock Season, right? 😊
Yeppers!!!
20 20 being hindsight would you buy the same crossbow??
💯 wait until next video...I'm sold on this design for sure.
At any point did you wish you would have gotten the Mission?
No, not for a second. If you remember, I didn't like the loud safety but also it jammed up on me when I was testing one at a shop. I don't have any tolerance for that kind of equipment haha. My next video talks more about the scorpyd, so maybe that will help me make sense of it too. I really am a reverse draw guy, and I really like the lower draw weight of this crossbow. The fact that I dry fired it and was able to just replace the string and get back out there really sealed the deal for me LOL
Interesting after first dry fire it broke. Must be all that tension that caused it. I dry fired an older, slower xbow and it didn’t brake anything other than accuracy. Bet you got scared real good
It scared me all right, I thought I ruined the poor thing but I'm glad it's fine. I am also happy that the string broke because I think the design is such that the string will break before the limbs do. Apparently at work! All is well that ends well haha.
Nooooooooooooooooo
TH-cam is asking me if I want to translate this comment to English hahaha
@@Deathbybunjie now that's funny! 🤣
Excalibur mantra is keep it stupid stupid...
Um, did you mean to type that? It's pretty funny either way.
I see what's wrong with it...ain't got no gas in it...
Yep, it done run out haha
That’s why you can’t have nice things! 😂
😄😁😆
I feel your pain. I went out today to put out corn. Found the road to my blind unpassable. I hiked in and grabbed my cell cam and blind and moved to another spot. I don't know how it will work out since the season starts in three days. I've had to adjust my brace height on my supposedly flemish string three times. I had to change the battery for the reticles, and I had to use my gopro to format the card for my tactacam because it had a card failure this fall and wouldn't record. Maybe the stars will aline on the Monday opener.
Well, it sounds like you tended to just about everything that needs tending! I've had days like that, also, where it just seems like everything fell apart. But, maybe that means it's smooth sailing from here on out, good luck!
“I pay for the stuff I break” awesome Rich 👍glad you and your bow where ok.
😄😁😆
Oh dude! I broke one last year day before season. Man at the bow shop said " it's not about if they will break its when" he said %75 of the bows in his shop were cross bows and that they are under too much pressure to last very long. Funny they don't tell you that when you buy one!
That wasn't the problem here, that's for sure. This is a 150 lb draw weight crossbow. Most of the crossbows out there are 300 lb or even more. I think the only reason this one survived was because it isn't a high draw weight. This was operator error, that's for sure! All on me!
Thanks for your content I really enjoy it's authentic vibe. I just started Hunting with a ravin r10. I suck at it. Lol. At range the fake decoys I hit target perfect. Then I get on the field and I miss🤢 last time I missed well two times prior had a buddy crossbow and no idea if it was zero correct or even on point but my Ravin is and last week I had a boar move in on me at first light. My range finder wasn't picking it up and I had to guess well I was wrong. Since then needless to say I've put the oracle x in my save for later box on Amazon lol. It's just a big purchase considering my bow was 1250. Admit I was a little intimidated on how to set the thing up SR one SR two anyways anyways I'm rambling. I'm gonna stick with the crossbow. I'm looking forward to the next season. I struck out the season but I'm determined thank you for your content. Ironically I have a wall of mounts from my .270 rifle lol but I can't use a rifle these days for well reasons I am not proud of lol. So the cross bow and I will have to find a common ground lol
I hear you loud and clear and welcome you to the crossbow hunting community! You got this. I think you just need a little more close up action with that crossbow to get your nerves under control. Shoot more does! You get a few under your belt and you'll be able to handle anything. Believe me I've been there. My first few seasons were pretty rough, I talked about them in my first book and I'd rather forget them now haha. But it all leads us to the future of crossbow hunting which in my opinion is awesome. Good luck!
See there Rick if you had a raven crossbow you could have Decock it with out a Arrow in it Because you never know you could have hair line crack in the limbs good luck
Wow , you just disappeared with that new camo! Spooky 👻
I’ve had 3 center points blow up
1 Parker … but 3 years ago switched to ten point not one issue with titan and turbo …
I always wonder about damage I can’t see .
Rock on bro Rock on 👍😉👌⚔️⚔️⚔️. Wild Man Monk.
I use an arrow different (zombies vs executioner) from hunting arrow. It also only has ONE PINK VANE so you can only load the one way. I just have to remember to switch after the hunt. Pretty annoyed when I forgot and put a nice hole in my discharge bag.
Yep, it happens, at least I reflect them so I should be able to avoid it in the future if I pay attention LOL, good luck to both of us!
TenPoint anti dry fire technology
gas ghost xv string set it will strecth less than any other string
Rich I could probably design you a much better looking 3D printed cheek riser for that Deathstalker.
I was wondering about that! I really do like this god a grip though, comfortable as you can imagine! Plus it has stayed in place perfectly! The only downside is it is picking up some of the fuzz from the inside of the case haha
When your wife started talking I thought it was my wife talking to me.
😁😆😅
When you get your new Bungie 4 ...i bet it will have decocking.
That is a distinct possibility
Excalibur is hard to beat for toughness
I don't know, Genevieve did break a limb after all, and she didn't even dry fire it haha
I don’t think you have to wear orange in this primitive season
You are right! I was wearing the orange in the rifle season though, that is when this happened. I was wearing black in the late season in the blind at the end of the video. Are you still going out Jim?
@@Deathbybunjie heck yeah! Finally saw 5 deer yesterday. Heart was pounding. Safety was off. I stopped the deer too soon and it’s vitals were right behind a vine 🤦♂️.
First!
ouch.
that bow seems like too much trouble
Really? I made a mistake and broke it, and fixed it in 5 minutes. Seems pretty awesome to me!
All I can say is oof... that and I really hope that doesn't happen to me.
I use white and black vanes so even with a red head lamp its clear which vane is which. Also white vanes show blood better than colored.
Yeah I have since re-fletched it with the proper colors and have to say it works perfectly LOL
Man, tough break!
And so many guys on the forums say that firing to decock after dark is safer/easier.
How many hundreds of times has the original Bunjie been safely rope decocked after dark?? 😎
I doubt I will ever have as much familiarity with a crossbow as I do with the original Bunjie! That's for sure! Then again, I am done hunting at 300 feet per second, and I am not a crank kind of guy. Last thing I am going to do is try and figure out a crank in the dark haha, if I can't shoot an arrow I sure as heck can't do that lol.
Dry Fire Inhibitor should be an industry standard. More than enough stored energy in a cross bow to completely destroy it. Glad it worked out and your are back in action without injury to self or bow.
It does have anti dry fire but it had an arrow in it, the arrow just wasn't nocked properly so it kind of fooled the anti dry fire lol jokes on me haha
i once almost bought a scorpyd bow but the more i look at that pin that holds the cams i am happy didnt buy it. that place is a very likely place for a fracture, to my knowledge it would have been much better if placed on opposite side since its where the pressure comes from, i hope they good limb warranty. nothing wrong with the bow besides the campin placement and especially if the pin is becoming loose which might not be that easy to catch.
I thought of that too, when I look at it, especially when I compare it to what I see in the TenPoints. But I will say it has held up, despite this abuse haha
@@Deathbybunjie and i was expection fire and brimstone, is this their first edition of the bow theere might be some changes in later version of it. i am happy you like the bow and if you like a bought product its gonna be used more as well too. i have a bit of ideology the less parts in somethinn i buy the risk becomes lower for a potential issues, i got this help from Richard Feynman with risk assesment.
@@Deathbybunjie Theirs that word again "Tenpoint"... \m/
