- We all get together at the archery range and try out each other's crossbows. The focus is on accuracy, but we talk about other factors as well. Keep in mind that these crossbows haven't been touched since last year...you'll understand when you watch the video.
Please show us some support by giving this video a “Like” and subscribing to our channel. Thanks!

I finally purchased a chronograph to help sight my crossbows in. I have 4 different ones. I was shocked to see how over-rated the advertised FPS are. For instance- CP 425 Patriot shoots at 388 FPS with the factory bolt. CP 415 Amped shoots 366 FPS and my KI 405 Boss shoots 355 FPS. That's way less FPS then what they're advertised to shoot
I bought a Barnett Whitetail STR off of Amazon 3 years ago. Its 375 FPS so it get awesome penetration, easy to cock manually and is a nail driver accurate. I’m sighted in at 25 yds currently with 25 yd holdovers at each hash on the reticle. I paid $187 for it, PRE pandemic mind you, same bow is now $375!
I've said it before, you can get a perfectly good crossbow for less money. As for the recent increase in price...well, isn't everything more expensive now!
@@badbloodoutdoors1874 Salut care e cea mai tare arpaleta din acest Video?
@@badbloodoutdoors1874 Vreau și eu una ai putea să mă ajuți?
We can all thank Biden for almost everything costing double due to inflation and more so due to gas prices and the increased cost of shipping, just don't understand why American oil is bad it's cleaner and cheaper, and we don't burn oil shipping it across the ocean 🙄
Pretty bad shooting at thirty yards lol
Agreed! 🤣
I respect the time y’all put in this. Thanks!
Our pleasure!
Another factor is bolt weight, whether or not cams are in time. But thanks for going through it
The more expensive bows will have features and performance attributes that less expensive bows may not. They will also come without defects that less expensive bows sometimes do. You can drive a Toyota or Ferrari.
Still, you don’t have to spend a pile to be a successful xbow hunter.
All true statements.
Enjoyed the video, keep making vids you guys need the practice 😂
Thanks…and agreed!
That $250 dollar bow is better than going to the gym 😂😂😂😂😜😳🤣🤣
It was fine to start with, but I definitely needed an upgrade.
HOW ABOUT A REVIEW ON -- MANTICONE RECUREVE CROSS BOW.
Thank you for video - I learn allot.
No joke. I greased my best buck ever this October with a Barnett Jackal...Sticker camo and all.
Congrats!!! And hey, as I said in the video, I’ve killed deer with my cheap crossbow. Nothing wrong with spending less if you can’t afford more.
The jackal is awesome! I've killed many deer with one I had
Good Job on the video, but man was it painful watching him try to cock that little bow. I was cringed a little watching the limbs lay on a pillow early in the video during shooting, that'll definitely throw off the shot. Nobody died, everyone had fun. Success!
I have a xcalibur 340 and it shoots amazing, just bought a fang 405 and just need to sight it in which I will do tomorrow am. After first few shots. I wish I spent more and just got a 400-420 xcalibur off the hop.
I have a $100 recurved crossbow and have had many pass thru shots a 40 yards mine is extremely accurate and I have even target practiced up to 70 yards
What kind of crossbow is this?
Yes, do tell. What bow, where did you buy it?
That playstation shirt is OP.
I want to see how the cheapest Walmart crossbow adds up or not.
This is a video we plan on making soon...thanks for the view and the suggestion!
@@badbloodoutdoors1874 screw Walmart. eBay and Amazon have plenty for sale starting from $170 upward. Would be good to see how the lower end stacks up against the more expensive ones
This is the most unorganized video about shooting anything even a sling shot
Weight of arrow Big time plays a role
Tenpoint .....Every time.
Different shooters and different shooting styles made for a poor test... My first and only crossbow is an SA Sports Terminator; it was under 2 hundred bucks. At 30 yards I can hit a quarter-size target with it- consistently!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, you can shoot accurately and kill a deer with just about any bow. It's the little things (that are usually not that little) that make a bow expensive.
These will all kill any game with good shot placement.
Truth.
I got a 160 draw weight I lost my drawstring so I just put a pair of gloves on and do it by hand
You should invest in a new one Lol!
Only $20
Good video 👍 Thanks for your time.
Thanks for watching!
Goble shooter is my favourite.
Good lord
Must of had the string on the scope rail and not the slot for it did the same thing the other day shooting my first cross bow
Thanks to everyone saying tenpoint, going with an Evo x scope please let me know if I am stoopid or not
They’re pretty pricey, but if you take long distance shots it would probably be handy to have.
@@badbloodoutdoors1874 got the Viper S400 and added an Evo x scope, again thank you for posting it helped in my decision.
Appreciate the comparison video. Lol, a lot of fumbling and less than accurate shooting, but, good info. Thanks fellas.
Yeah, we would have done a few things differently, but thanks!
What is a good beginner crossbow that can comfortably take down a deer? Under or just over $1000
The Tenpoint Titan M1 can be gotten for under $1000. I’ve shot a number of deer in the 3 years that I’ve had it and the only problem I had was due to user error (I made a video about it). The excaliburs are a bit pricier (also made a video about this). You can get a crossbow that’ll kill a deer for even cheaper, but generally you get what you pay for regarding reliability and overall quality of construction. Either way Good Luck!!!
It was a good idea but I definitely see some issues
I bought a bear bruzer for 400 bucks in 2016. It out shoots my bros barnett whitetail. Smoother and more accurate, drawback. Its so heavy. I call it the tank. 😂😂😂
Not really a good comparison. You did not have a controlled test for each bow.
Ten point is the best
Oh yeah, it’s an enormous improvement over my first crossbow. Just gotta site it in and get a little practice time before bow season.
Paper plate at 60 yards with my Parker and it’s not that hard to pull back.
You can't compare when all scopes are different and sited in by diffrent people. I out shoot most people with my killer instinct burner 415 and killed bears moose caribou
Agreed. It was just a general comparison…not be all end all. Also, we unfortunately had not sighted in any of our crossbows recently. We’ve been hoping to do a follow up, but one of our members is not available very often.
That’s one I’m looking at. That’s good to know. 👍
My 10 year old grandson shoots a 3.5” group at 30 yards.
I'm sure your grandson does 2 things a lot more than we've done since last year...1)practice 2)keep his crossbow sighted in. You should be proud.
He practices for about a month before archery season. His father keeps his crossbow sighted in. Last year on opening day he took a nice 8 point. I am a proud grandpa..
@@badbloodoutdoors1874 I have a carbon express I love it
how will you hunt if you can't hit from 30 yards lol.
We had to sight in our crossbows…watch the video. Thanks for the view😀
I just subscribed
Thanks for the support!!!
with all due respect, cant the crossbow be held by something like a bent nail to the base so it doesnt jerk back when fired?
All that energy will be forced to be absorbed by the bow and eventually destroy it
Much better to have the stock sit up against something immovable, these are designed for the forces to go through the stock. At least have the same person be holding them, as a super fast bow will push someone back more than a weaker one, which will affect the real world speeds
Most of the time like my dad always told me you get what you pay for they will all usually shoot good out of the gate but the question is the cheaper chinese-made crossbows how long will they last I know out of the bunch there the one that I figure would be the best crossbow and the one that will last the longest was made by TenPoint that was the best crossbow there even though I know it was the most expensive but like I say you get what you pay for
You can get a good crossbow for less, but the extra money that you pay for a high priced bow is absolutely not just for the name. 😃
Dont buy Chinese crap .Trust me .Pay a bit extra and remove the guaranteed heartache further down the line .....I buy American,German,Nordic gear .Shoes ,tools etc .Pay the bit extra .Buy cheap .Pay twice.
Ten points are made in china
@@rossmunro1830 Mogadore .Ohio .Is that in China?
@@badbloodoutdoors1874 that’s 100% false. Bought my son a 200$ Barnett recruit 5 years ago. He’s shot at 17 deer and killed 17 deer with it. I’ve always bow hunted but set up a bunch of 2 man stands when he started hunting. So I bought myself a 250$ killer instinct. I’ve shot at 12 with it and killed 12. I doubt any of those 29 deer would be more dead if I had paid 500-1000$ for a “top end” crossbow. Lol
Does anyone know what happened to the stryker crossbows?
This is all I could find: www.crossbownation.com/threads/what-happened.89978/
I got beter groups with my scorpyd tremor 480 at 90 yards
The knocks were different?
No, we all use bolts with half moon nocks.
Looks like the boys need to be out there alot more practicing, maybe some bags under the bows for stability or bipod , you don't actually hunt with these bows do you??
Truth. However, in our defense, those crossbows hadn’t been touched in awhile and we hadn’t really put enough thought into prepping for the video. If we remade the video we wouldn’t look quite as foolish. Thanks for watching!
Would they kill a bear or a moose?
Absolutely, if you get a good shot…modern broadheads are deadly!!!
@@badbloodoutdoors1874 I'm sold thank you
Wow... What the???
Cocking rope way too long on old bow…….it does matter.
How so? I don't use that crossbow any more...just curious if I could have made things easier when I used it.
please, immobilise the crossbow before shooting.
When we shot this video we didn’t have a shooting rest yet…now we do. Sometimes you have to work with what you’ve got.
Your limbs hit that pillow
Yeah, we got a shooting rest to help with sighting in…2 videos later. Thanks for watching 😃
Link the bows
Whoops, sorry we forgot to do that. Stay tuned for those links in the description. Thanks for watching! 😁
Yea just throw out that old bow that things gunna get you hurt
Haven't used it since making this video. LOL!
Ilyen rosszul lőni, mért távról😊
Stupid music, good bye.
Crap shooting . Dont go hunting, get a rifle!
