Homeschooling your kids? Thats very nice! The Adder looks like a nice way to defend your home if you dont have access to firearms. My country has very strict gun laws and the Adder probably is the most effective thing we can own
The EK Archery Cobra Adder is perfect for home defense or survival hunting !!!! I received mine from amazon about 3 weeks ago in the US and mine came with 15 blue vaned bolts ?
you probably already figured out but, there are two adjustable "holes" on the sight, (up and right) you need to adjust them using a hex tool provided with the purchase. you need to play around and fire multiple times in order to make a perfect adjustment.
There should really be a "training wheels" version of 100 pounds and dry fire resistant, basically you beef up the arms, string and stoppers, so they can be safely dry fired.
Also, having the magazine on top, it could be made so that it has an auto lubrication system, and you just top up on lubrication fluid, like in other tools, and be made so you can fire 70x 190 pounds shots, or 100x shots for the 130 pounds, before completely empty on lubrication fluid, using the reloading action to lubrify the rail.
I have the rx adder plus the brand new vlad tactical shipping soon. Been waiting months on my vlad The adder is a beast. I installed q knife and laser sight on the rail
I got the first generation stinger crossbow, the plastic one. I think it would be a good home defense weapon. I added a light to it, took out the safety pin, and a few other modifications. I just bought the Stinger 2 compact version, I think this one would be better because cocking it would be faster. I do plan on buying an actual gun one day, but these two crossbows will do just fine for now.
I also have a crossbow, and I got it as an alternative to a gun. However, the limitation with a crossbow is that it needs to be reloaded for every shot. Unlike guns, crossbows aren’t semi-automatic, so they’re not effective for home defense against multiple opponents.
Multiple firearms are not semi auto the fact is most of the guns accessible for civilians are manual repeaters (shotgun, single action revolver etc) so your point doesn't make ny sense. You dont have to "reload" the adder but recock it and the process is quite quick
Definitely better for home defense than a full size one or even the seiage 300,thats a bit bulky and you could get into a grappling showdown, were as the R9RX is part of your profile and you can protected it, in turn people would be less likely to stick around and find out by the quicker smaller r9rx being pointed in the general direction will make them poop 💩 their pants ...cool video 👍
@@oneministries4878 For close quarters I find it best to remove the stock and use the foregrip. BTW, does the stock on yours attach firmly without wobbling? The stock on mine wobbles.
@@oneministries4878 Upgrades I'd recommend are the 7 shot magazine that can be reloaded using speedloader clips and the Venom Xtreme 190-220lbs bow. I have these on mine and they make a big improvement. Also, you need to calibrate your red dot sight and then it will be accurate.
Yeah, I'd like to know also. I've owned this for 2 years and still haven't had any problems. I haven't even needed to change the string. I've shot at least 200 bolts in that time, too.
I’ve had it for a few years. Replaced the original 5 shot plastic magazine with the 7 shot. No issues at all so far. No jams, no string breakage, nothing. It’s reliable and, within ten meters or so, more than sufficiently accurate.
Recommend a self healing archery target that allows you to pull the bolt out with 2 fingers. You probably ruined your bolts. Try Bodkin tips, they will go even further through the target. Also, once you get your Red dot sighted in, then match it to a laser pointer and you can hit bulleyes from the hip.
The Bodkin tips don't make much of a difference at least with the 130 lb limbs, i tried it with plywood and archery mats they just penetrate about 2cm deeper on 10m distance. Maybe they have a more devestating effect on soft "Zombie Bodys" because of the Bodkin shape. But the field tips are good enough for self defence. Also it is realy hard to damage the carbon bolts itself, the veins could be a little bit knittered if the bolt goes to deep but you can fix this with a little heat from a hair dryer or toaster.
Man schießt doch nicht die Bolzen auf massive Holzplatten, man nimmt direkt einen Beton-Klotz als Ziel. Dann gehen die Bolzen noch nachhaltiger und endgültig in den Müll. Wenn man sich so ein Teil anschafft, sollte man sich vorher etwas in die Materie einlesen. 🤦♀️
I think I dry fired itonce and now its jammed.Its my first crossbow and the instructs leaflet is crap.I dont know if its ruined ;Can anyone help ?????Its this model Cobra RX but without the 5 fire addition.I dont know the jargon .

lube your string, every 5 shots? i dont know who told you that, but give them a slap, tell them to ease off, on the white powdery stuff and try closer to 50 shots ish or so!
Shooting that close is not a good idea unless you want to dug the bolt up each time.... though it resembles more a home defense situation. In any case there are several videos with the Adder being reasonably precise even at semi-long distances. Also, 600$? Wow, i understand it is imported in the US, but still. The real price should be around 400.

Those gun laws do not effect the criminals in any way shape or form eh . Same as the UK . Morons making our laws
Well done for figuring it out!
Better a Cobra Rx with 15" bolt and hunting tip. Then the intruder is bled out faster than he can say that he only wanted to ask for a glass of water.
🤣 that's my sense of humour
😂😂😂
Great video iv just got my first crossbow cobra
Hey man awesome video. And I love the fact that your a Christian. There’s not a lot of channels on TH-cam that do archery and Christianity
God is good, I am blessed, Jesus is Lord!, thanks for watching
@@leec247 amen brother
Nice video; the bolt problem can be used specifically to fill the bolts and make them heavier (stronger punch on target)

Me & my parents have pistol crossbows my Mom just brought a Oakridge Mezzo recurve bow 50 inch , & a Pole Axe for home defence.
Great to have and I pray you never need to use them
I've just literally ordered one today. I'm really excited. 😊
Hope you enjoy it! These things are awesome!!

Hi, can you link or give any details on the laser sight it came with. does it fit in the hole in the magazine?
190 pound arms now available.

Your definitely covered for now, don’t forget to practice!
You can use the (much cheaper) small RX Bolts for the Adder when you slim down the Nocks with some sandpaper.
Can you post a link to ones that you are referring to plz?

Agreed, it’s just small enough to load and use in close quarters. A worthy weapon especially for those who can’t own guns.

@@silverbullet2008bbdo you need different bolts after you equip the venom extreme. 190 220lb
@@sohailboxing8801 Yes I know, I use bolts with aluminum nocks made by German company S&K
Never new about the dry firing wrecking a crossbow (I know nothing of them!), how does it ruin it??
Without the arrow to absorb some of the force of the string, it can damage it when fired without an arrow.
@@oneministries4878 cheers👍
Thank you for this presentation. I've been having my eye on this for a while as it has some pros and cons but seems for me it has a lot more cons.
What cons are you finding?

You might not understand, this wood test is for lethality. This is a lethal weapon, once the test is over it would be shot into a proper target.

Can you send us a picture, or video of what your experiencing?

They have now a #150 pound version called the cobra siege.
there will be 170 and 190 lbs limbs for the cobra adder in the future
first shipment expected in july

Any good for wandering the tree line & shooting bunnies with? nothing big just small game?, thanks bro.
The one I have is pretty accurate to 20yards and I haven’t tried it out for small game yet, but I definitely think it would work well for that.

2 blade broadheads.
i know its from cobra thats why the name. but i think death adder would be more fitting :D
I agree, but maybe the name was taken?
Is the trigger safety on the right or left side?
Both.
Do you still like this crossbow? Or looking to upgrade?
I also own an Excalibur 420 TD (much more power and precision), but still like the Adder for the fun of shooting a repeating crossbow. They are just different concepts.
@@videogazer801 adder is amazing. Waiting on vlad tactical to arrive
I’m definitely enjoying it, I just bought a 35cal air rifle from “go gun” and I will be unboxing it today
Hell Yeah 💪❤️🎯
In Texas, I don’t think it’s legal to shoot a crossbow within the city limits. So, not sure if it can be used for home defense.
It’s not legal to shoot guns in city limits either. Inside the home for self defense is perfectly legal. But do your due diligence, I’m not a lawyer😐
Who’s going to know if you are plinking in your back garden? They are silent
Crossbows shoot bolts.

its bigger than a machine gun lol
Definitely quieter!
START WITH YOUR RED DOT .....AND THEN SHOOT IN THE CORE ....
