I noticed that the bucks in Nova Scotia have black markings on the lower jaw. I recently read a blog about a deer that was killed in the states that had similar markings; the article claimed the markings were inherited from an ancient ancestor to the whitetail that had tusks as well (similar to the musk deer in Asia.) The markings were there to accent the tusks. Over the years, the horns became the more suited weapon and the tusks faded into non-existence. Beautiful buck. Great patience and execution. I've been watching a bunch of your videos. Good stuff. Keep it up. :)
I bought this crossbow here in Louisiana,I shit st an old telephone pole,and it actually penetrated 3 to 5 inches consistently at 75 yards. Amazing ! Poor old deers are going to have arrows out the other side! I suggest you buy this rig the " 505 nitro " Mike Edwards Crowley Louisiana.
Great review! Glad to see the labradar come out. Im curious about the velocity differences you saw. If you want, send over the data files and Ill do some drag/traj calcs. Merry Christmas!
I really enjoyed your review, your presentation was very concise, accurate and to the point. I cannot believe the accuracy of this crossbow! I have been debating whether to go with the Nitro 505 and Burris Oracle X scope or save $1,000.00+ with the RS470 package but the overall savings with the Burris Oracle X scope makes me lean in that direction. What is your opinion on that? Is the RS470 a quieter crossbow? Or is there enough difference in the two as far as the noise? Thank you for your reply and for this video! Very very helpful already...
Just got my 505 and it clocked 521 FPS with the 400 grain pro elite arrows. That being said, it would be around 500-505 FPS with the 455 grain evo-x! NUTS!
Well if you got the light bolt's & got that why Don't you know what the bolt's are that came with it?? You got 6 of them with the cross bow???? But you didn't Chrono the heavy bolt's really stupid
I got an Excalibur g340 and it has served me very well, I can hit a target the size of a toonie back to 60 yards, I'm just gunna stick with the basics, these bows are getting out of control, no reason to pay for something like this when you can spend less than 900 dollars for a crossbow that does pretty much the same thing and has less parts to worry about failing!
I use 22 inch piledriver bolts 150 grain broad heads with my 350 barnett was using standard 20 inch piledriver bolts with 150 grain broad heads and was running into this same problem with wind drift being a big issue but when I switched to the 22 inch bolts I seen a big difference as I didn't drift much at all and they are a little heavier so it made more conetic energy on impact try it out I think you will be impressed and if ya like make a video and share your experience 😊
He just said he tried the Ravin bow your touring and didn’t like it. Not sure why it’s a downgrade? Sounds like he’s buying what he wants….after already shelling out for the r500 and being let down
Thanks for the review!, and i love the beefed up cut ins, LOL, i have this crossbow on the way and should arrive in a few days, cant wait. your vid made me exceedingly happy with my choice. Subbed too, Get away, cat! lol
@@x32i77 .. I have to agree with you, I've discovered several other reasons to avoid Ravin as well.. The TenPoint Nitro 505 Xero is my go to crossbow now, unparalleled power, performance and accuracy
The heavier your bolt and broadhead, the slower the speed. I’d say the 505 is with the lightweight non-hunting bolts and tips. There’s always a trade, so the kinetic energy is there, but the flux will depend on what you use. If you can throw a ramcat broadhead on there, you’ll put a big hole through it regardless of the weight trade off.
Great review,that bow with a 508grn bolt is faster than my ravin 29x with a 400grn bolt that’s insane I want that bow, I sure hope you washed up before hunting after running a few hundred yards.
as time continues and things progress in the crossbow world get ready for the 600 fps marker to be broke i know already its been broke as the hatsan air bow harpoon was getting 600fps readings
So the ten point is great, I can’t afford that though. My problem is that my Barnett HyperTac 420 is blowing through targets and ruining fletchings. What bag are you using that is stopping that monster so easily?
Thanks for the great review. Question #1: What would be your would be your best recommendation for a Tenpoint crossbow? Question #2: I assume those were the practice broadheads, bot the actual mechanical (opening) broadheads, is that correct?
With a 505 feet per second velocity I am thinking of the amount or shock on the pulley wheels and axles. It sounds like it would be very punishing to those parts and have a negative effect on longevity. How well do these parts hold up and last?
Question.. what bolts did you use with the 150 grain broadhead? Because if you used the 400 grain bolt then add 150 then you get 550grain. I thought you went with a heavier bolt. Like 460 grain then you add 150 grain broadhead that's like 610 grain bolt. Or did I miss something?
Excalibur for recurve and center point or mission for a more affordable 400+fps bow. Or wicked ridge. (Center point is ravins budget bow company and wicked ridge is TenPoint’s)
$3,049.00 FOR A CROSSBOW ? NO THANKS . Id RATHER GO WITH THE HATSAN HARPOON PCP ARROW LAUNCHER AIR RIFLE FOR AROUND 580 FPS . FOR ONLY $800.00. OF COURSE THATS ONLY THE PRICE HARPOON ITSELF .
Looks cool/has issues. Check tenpoints site for their “brand R” comparison. It’s a fairly compelling argument to go with a TP vs the Ravin. I was leaning toward Ravin until I saw the string life, weight and warranty vs the faster 505. R500=200 shot string life 505=500 shot life. Ravin can only be cocked 8hrs, TP is ok all day. Ravin is subject to breaking during storage even!! TenPoint had a lifetime warranty vs a 5 year Ravin limited warranty (that doesn’t cover limbs…) Made my choice easy! And I was a Ravin fan before I knew all that….
Buyer beware my kid who is 15 and been n woods hunting since he was 8 saved this summer to purchase a 505 nitro well on first time he shot it the thing exploded on 7th shot and ten point did not stand behind there product I feel they deny every claim and push blame my kid didnt do nothing wrong I feel arrow failed which lead to catastrophic failure ten points arrogant stance on there product which they had audacity to charge for repair on new bow on first time shooting after talking around this has happened to others luckily he didn't lose eye or finger or sliced from string when exploded ten point will never ever get a purchase again from me or my boys and as a 15 year old spending 4k u just lost a customer for life my dealer agreed with me 100 percent but said he thinks ten points protocol is to deny every failure and his dealer is ready to get rid of ten point due there customer service and prior dealings with warranties so buyer beware they don't stand behind there product and I dont have lawyers on million dollar retainers to fight it but I promise you will never buy a ten point again
Bugger mechanical broadheads, people shoot them with their compound bows because they can't tune there bow properly to shoot 2 3 and 4 fixed blades , even out of my crossbows I'd never use them .., too many bad experiences with them
Newsflash: weight of broadhead does not change the kinetic energy. A heavier slower arrow has same KE as a faster lighter arrow. KE is determined by the bow.
Kinetic energy is determined by the bow and is constant unless you change the bow setup. Changing the broadhead or field point weight will not change the KE just vary the speed of arrow. To increase the KE, increase the draw weight or efficiency of the bow.
@@jeffreystockdale8292 sorry man you are wrong. If a lighter arrow is shot that, of course, is faster than the heavier one, the two projectiles will have approx the same energy at the muzzle (before factors like gravity, friction and momentum can take effect.) But downrange you'll see the two projectiles separate in terms of KE, momentum and penetration. It's now provable on lab radars that measure the same shot at multiple distances. So of course the bow is the way to manipulate KE, but you can also do it with projectile weight, including broadheads. There are a million videos on this including one I did.
@@BullShooterswithJeffJohnston yes, you can vary things to reduce the loss of KE or increase the efficiency of the arrow flight but that’s not CHANGING the KE, only reducing the loss of initial KE.
Not impressed especially for the price! 👎Is it fast? sure, but it sounds loud as hell and has a heavy trigger. didn't look to be all that accurate especially since you were using the same bolt every shot. not worth the money. you can have it.
Wow that crossbow is really Loud sounds like a gun and that's with a heavy Bolit wow the trigger is still no good should have Ben 2 to 3 pound trigger pull I guess they will never learn
Why do all excalibur owners or most go on about their crossbow does pretty much the same thing with less moving parts... ummmm no they don't, not even close , show me a excalibur that has a similar shooting arc to the nitro 505 , pppffftt not even close my 505 has punched straight through a red stag at 80 mtrs and if im off judging the distance it doesn't matter because it shoots that flat it doesn't matter and yes excalibur owners I can change my string in the bush and I can walk through tight scrub without my big ass wide limbs catching on branches and getting caught up on everything and yes they weigh a bit more but that's why they are made for men not pussies that piss and moan about a bit of weight, my first nitro rdx killed deer , goats , pigs , foxs rabbits by the hundreds and it never let me down once and I still use it but my 505 blows it away so just because you can't afford something dont bag it out or even bring it up

Best review I have seen yet (I've seen them all)- and you were testing it with real world hunting arrows and broadheads.

Love you style of a review.. It hard to have a bad review on a tenpoint. Thanks
At 80 yards impact with your 508gr bolt, I ran some numbers:
That's equivalent to a 124gr 9mm bullet doing 918 fps at that yardage.
Nice shooting Okey!
You should try 515 TRS

Wow, what a downgrade

No doubt Tenpoint crossbows are top of the line. If you can afford it get one.

Great review awesome
I love my Ravin R26.
Look into all ways to quiet a crossbow would be interesting

Sevr 2.0 broadheads are the only broadheads I use. Mine fly true to the field points!
agree 100 percent! that's what i use.
Great review,that bow with a 508grn bolt is faster than my ravin 29x with a 400grn bolt that’s insane I want that bow, I sure hope you washed up before hunting after running a few hundred yards.
Sure the slight smell of sweat seems more natural to a deer than shower gel
Kimi Raikonen lookalike wow! Awesome review
as time continues and things progress in the crossbow world get ready for the 600 fps marker to be broke i know already its been broke as the hatsan air bow harpoon was getting 600fps readings
My Scorpyd TREMOR shoots 480 fps with 1.2 lb trigger pull
Scorpyd is the best Crossbow on the market today
Great video
$3k Xbow and no care about mounting it securely to an ATV, twice... damn, must be nice.
Ah, you have a cat that wonders down range as well. I'm seeing a pattern with archers cats.
Crosbow impianku, Crossbow of my dreams,
Side by side, the Raven 500 is definitely more accurate. Just saying. Raven wins hands down 👍👍
it is a metal washer between the nock and the bolt end so the bolt won't splinter
Right indeed!
im not sure what they can do next to go faster..the raven is really cool looking
Ravin is far better than TenPoint
I just bought one in excited
Great review but a honest is test it with factory bolts I think they are 400 gr
I saw one of these exact bows blow up
Great video. Thanks for all that info, and for the 100 yards walk . Lol 😂
How about shooting some cut on contact broadheads please I will be purchasing the 505 ten point this spring and thank you.
So the ten point is great, I can’t afford that though. My problem is that my Barnett HyperTac 420 is blowing through targets and ruining fletchings. What bag are you using that is stopping that monster so easily?
I’m not a fan of reverse limb crossbows due mostly to the fact they are hard to stalk with in the woods. Catch too many limbs.
Comment of the day “I’ve been drinking too much beer for that”…classic. Lol. Feel ya buddy
Thanks for the great review. Question #1: What would be your would be your best recommendation for a Tenpoint crossbow? Question #2: I assume those were the practice broadheads, bot the actual mechanical (opening) broadheads, is that correct?
My best recommendation for a TenPoint is don't waste your money on one, they're pure junk.. Get a Ravin
@Aranck-kcnarA Why do say Ravin is so much better?
Very nice
What do you do with all your old crossbows? Can I buy one from you?
With a 505 feet per second velocity I am thinking of the amount or shock on the pulley wheels and axles. It sounds like it would be very punishing to those parts and have a negative effect on longevity. How well do these parts hold up and last?
that is one drawback (HA!) of crossbows. They do not hold up well over the years with such punishing energy rattling through them each and every shot.
For an almost $5k xbow, it better come with it's own stock trader😂
I'm moving to Oklahoma. Do you know of any 3D ranges that allow target xbows? Like 330fps and less. Thx
I need to ask what is it like to keep it maintained and clean. Like, do you need to oil up the gears inside of it?
no, just the cable and string and barrel.
How about Ravin500? How tried both to compar,e?
Impressive
Now tell me more about that dog.
Question.. what bolts did you use with the 150 grain broadhead? Because if you used the 400 grain bolt then add 150 then you get 550grain. I thought you went with a heavier bolt. Like 460 grain then you add 150 grain broadhead that's like 610 grain bolt. Or did I miss something?
I thought the same…
What crossbow would be good for Elk. About middle price range to ten point crossbow. Thank you
Excalibur for recurve and center point or mission for a more affordable 400+fps bow. Or wicked ridge. (Center point is ravins budget bow company and wicked ridge is TenPoint’s)
Or Ravin
Get a Bear compound bow. You can reload and shot again really fast which is impossible for any crossbow.
First of all, Bear compounds are mediocre at best. Second, when you are shooting a cross bow with a scope you don't need to reload.
BEAR MAKES A VERY GOOD BOW PERIOD.
Excalibur has a twin strike but it is down in the 350 fps...
I can kill em just as Dade with my old fashioned 400. It ain't the arrows, it's the Indian.
Is this channel done now ?
That's cool cross bow! You will kill all the white tails in the world! How much did you buy it as a brand new package?
He said in vid he didn’t buy it. His buddy and Ten Point sent it to him
BARNETT CROSBOWS ARE WAY BETTER. TEN POINT IS A NO NAME MANUFACTURE
perfect for a Safari Club high fence hunt.
$3,049.00 FOR A CROSSBOW ? NO THANKS . Id RATHER GO WITH THE HATSAN HARPOON PCP ARROW LAUNCHER AIR RIFLE FOR AROUND 580 FPS . FOR ONLY $800.00. OF COURSE THATS ONLY THE PRICE HARPOON ITSELF .
Two Tenpoint NITRO XRTs Junk . What good is fast if I can’t use either of them!!!
I wish I had ten point money
How the hell does one let themselves drop a $3,000 crossbow ? Not once but twice ? Jeez.
Good question!!
Back of the ATV and I wanted it to happen so I could see if it would hold up.
