@@mushizu2860 love the adder 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@PaulJohnson-lv7jt thank you sir 🙏🏻

@@TheShonuff888 yep, no twists in the string. When I post the second half of the video I'll shoot some stuff with the 180lb 💪🏻

@ 😂yes it wasn’t a good look when the bolt bounced off. Keep doing what you’re doing, i like these tests

@TheShonuff888 not a good look at all 😵 although the bag is made for compound bows and crossbows and rated 405FPS so it stops smaller power bows with ease. Interesting how the field tip bounced off the bag but then the broadhad punched through the ply about 12" when I missed the gammon for the first time!

@@The.Air.Weapon.Channel Thank you sir! Yeh I found them I think on ebay. Pretty tasty! If it wasn't for your videos I wouldn't have thought to front load 15" bolts so, thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Oh, you’ve got a new sub too! A 👍 & a new sub from a fellow 180lbs owner. They have plenty of power for sure!

@@carlmarkwyatt Hi Carl, thanks for the comment 🙏🏻 I suspect not but when I have a spare £100 I'll probably buy it again, it looks cool and of the three mags (5, 7 & 18) the 7 is my favourite for function and looks!

​​@@SHTFpreppingUKyeah I like the 7 over the 5 as the extra bolts are useful and it's much easier to load. I've only shot one at 130ibs though so haven't experienced the mag pop issue.

@carlmarkwyatt well the mag broke because I dropped it on its head 😑😑 annoying because I cracked it straight through the middle 🙃 before that though, I've owned it for quite some time and put a lot of bolts through it. 18 shot mag is a bit too heavy fully loaded IMO plus the optic is really high

@@darkchild130 skip to 5:50 bro!

⁠@@SHTFpreppingUKyeah you used Broadheads. My comment was for Bodkins.

@@The.Air.Weapon.Channel especially now the Christmas period is over and work has kicked off full steam 🤣🤣

@SHTFpreppingUK I no wot u mean 👊😎

@@The.Air.Weapon.Channel I can't find the link dude 🥲 the grouping wouldn't have been so bad had the wind now been to strong, it was a force 6 cross wind so it was pulling the Xbow up down, left right, targets getting blown over 🤣🤣 but I continued with the test because in reality, it may be windy on the day the Z's come for me! I suspect on a Force 2 wind day I'd be much more accurate 🙏🏻 I didn't wanna go 220lb limb because I'm not a huge fan of GogunUK

@@RTK85 Thanks for the comment 🙏🏻 I have put them on but as you'll know, they won't then fit inside the magazine so you have to buy gogun broadhead/ bolts to work it. Can't comment on those as never purchased them. I haven't actually shot the smaller bolts with a beoadhead in purely because they won't fit in the magazine. I've only shot 15" 2 parts I've dropped down the front of the crossbow.

@SHTFpreppingUK I brought the 7 round magazine so they fit and it makes life a lot easier with the upgraded magazine I would honestly invest in one if possible but don't buy the speed loader it has never worked for me right pile of junk

@@RTK85 ohhhh OK OK, I have the 7 shot and 18 shot mag but have the 5 shot sat on the Xbow for the video as this is the magazine most ppl are likely to have straight away. I didn't know the broadheads would fit in the 7, great info, thank you

@@Skilpadjie1 thank you for your comment 🙏🏻

@@JvD1985 thanks for the comment. I have experienced it but not so much in a negative way. I have done a video on it incase people are on the fence about buying the M10

@@TheShonuff888 interesting knowledge about the broadheads! I'll get it done, I'll source a few types of ply and different thicknesses too 🏹💪🏻👌🏼

@@TheShonuff888 thank you sir 💪🏻

@@jimmyduff3030 Actually, I don't disagree, it's not a bad point at all. I hadn't thought about it because where I am in the UK is so far removed from gangs and crime. The government's response to crossbow legislation infuriates me as well.

@@PaulJohnson-lv7jt thank you sir🙏🏻🙏🏻

@Hebesgugl thanks for the comment. Thank you for the info but I am lucky enough to own an adder with all the upgrades and the Steambow M10 amongst other basic crossbows. I have other videos on them if you fancy a look 💪🏻🏹

​@@SHTFpreppingUK Yes, I haven't watched your other videos, which I definitely intend to. Anyway, I have to motivate you to keep making videos because they are really good. All the best in the New Year!

@Hebesgugl thank you for your kind words 🙏🏻 hope I live up to them! Happy New year 🎉🥳🎊

@@southfolk thanks for the comment 🙏🏻. I considered rhe AR6 before I bought the Adder. Such a tough choice with so many great little Xbows on the market!!

@@greatgalar5772 bigger meaning longer or heavier?

@SHTFpreppingUK both, but in fairness I then watched another of your videos and you were firing longer bolts. I've got the 90lb one and need to up it to at least 130 I think. Although as I've found out I can't attach the magazine to my version of the adder 🤦🏼‍♂️

@@greatgalar5772 yes I was going to say I have shot longer and heavier from my adder previously. Actuslly just received some new bolts in the post today to try and make a better video of the adder broadhead test. Depending what you're doing 90lbs is fine I would suspect. Hunting small game I would assume 90lbs is sufficient but IMO taking on zombies you want at least, atleast! 130lbs minimum but perhaps 180 would be better. Bolts would rip right through them! I haven't owned an R9 or the other version but I believe you can buy magazine attachments from "upbolt". Look it up on Google. Few ppl have commented on my videos speaking about their attachments 👌🏼

I've got the magazine and speed loader, however after watching Jorge's videos on fitting one to an R9 I've realised that I quite like my fingers attached to my hands and equally it'll be cheaper to buy an adder in the long run.... or a Siege 🤣

@greatgalar5772 personally, I haven't held a Seige, but from the extensive research I've done, I'd go with the Adder. Completely up to you of course 🤣

@@JvD1985 good suggestion. I thought about drilling a hole through the other side and putting a linch pin through but not sure you can buy small enough linch pins. It's genuinely not been as issue for me since buying and shooting the Xbow

I haven't twisted the strings either, you can buy a 220lb limb and twist the strings a few times. Put a 15" bolt on the Xbow and it would be devastating!!

@@The.Air.Weapon.Channel I have only ever owned the siege scope which I think we've already spoke about and that it is rubbish. Soon enough I'll buy a scope and see how far I can shoot, I suspect even the Jag 1 will go a long way as I shot a tight group at 40 yards with a red dot sight in a previous video. Just about finding the right scope I guess 🏹💪🏻

@SHTFpreppingUK when I get 5 minutes I will send you the link to the scope that I use it works on air rifles and crossbows it's only about £60 👊😎

@Mike-nf1pp H Mike, thanks for the comment! Glad you like the video. IMO value for money - Jag 1 is #1 of all the xbows I own. I have posted a previous video on the Jag 1 where I'm taking it out to 40 yards on the red dot sight. I am left handed yes which unfortunetly makes buying bows sometimes more difficult as there's usually less left handed options🤣 I wonder if you shoot left handed because you're left eye dominant? What do you think of the Horse bow? Why do you have a horse bow over say a recuve or long bow?? Thanks again 🙏🏻

@SHTFpreppingUK I'm actually right eye dominant but shoot bows/catapults with both eyes open so my left eye takes over as dominant when I shoot bows etc it's strange but works for me 🤣 I chose to shoot the horse bow because it's really fast but the siyahs act almost like cams on a compound they let off a bit at full draw making it a bit lighter to draw at higher poundage so kinda like the best of both in a recurve but I'm looking into a really nice 2 piece takedown longbow I prefer recurve over compound bows as there is less to go wrong and in realistic situations like SHTF a recurve is always the way to go as you can practically do all there repairs yourself ill check the rest of your videos out buddy I'm very interested in your content specially as we are both lefty shooters 🤜🤛

@Mike-nf1pp this is exactly why I don't own either a compound Xbow or bow as in SHTF I suspect they'll have a far shorter life span than my basic bows/ xbows. Saying that I am interested in EK archery whipshot compound bow. But need to work out whether lefties can shoot it first as it isn't cheap! Would make for a great video though 🏹💪🏻

​@@SHTFpreppingUKyour absolutely right about your recurves lasting longer in a SHTF situation I'm also looking into compound because the accuracy and power are very intriguing but as you mentioned we are quite limited in our options being lefties I'll look out for your video should you get one buddy 💯👌

​@@SHTFpreppingUKwhat is the name of the bow you are using in this video it's very quiet 👌

@@The.Air.Weapon.Channel have you done any longbow videos??

@SHTFpreppingUK no not yet I will do as soon as I get some new bows 🏹👊

Hi Dave, thank you for the comment! I agree with everything you're saying, almost anyone can pick up a crossbow and be on target but being accurate with a bow takes continuous practice and time! Interesting fact about your hand never covering the target with compound, I've only shot one once, a friends, at about 20 yards so never actually got stuck into one. Main reason being, like you've so rightly pointed out, they require far more maintenance which can also be a lot more costly which for me isn't worth it atm. perhaps if I end up deeper down the archery rabbit hole I'll purchase one but if I had a spare £300 I'd rather buy a 55lb recurve one piece bow I think. I'm about to upload another video where I'm shooting my (cheap) 55lb horse bow so would be interested to read your comments. Thanks again. Really appreciate the feedback.

@@SHTFpreppingUK yes agreed , different bows all do the same thing shoot arrows and thats all thats needed , will watch your next vid , thanks pal 👍

@@AerialAuraDrone thank you sir 🙏🏻

@@Dave300AMG you can buy broadhead bolts that fit in the adder magazine, I just don't have them because like you say... expensive and I agree. However, steambow broadheads are £10 each too so similar price and smaller. IMO the entire market is over priced but its a yound innovation. Hopefully in the future with more competitors prices will come down 🙏🏻

With the 190 lb Venom limbs, and twisting the string 16 times (220 lb), the Adder makes a very effective home defense weapon. Add broadheads or Bodkin tips and the penetration becomes impressive.

@SciD1 220lb with broadheads would obliterate most targets!!

@@SciD1 thanks for the comment🙏🏻 I haven't ever twisted the strings but I am keen in the future, maybe in Spring when there is less wind to twist the string on the 180lb limb and take her out to 50 yards with 15" bolts hopefully. I appreciate it isn't designed for distance but it's still quite fun to shoot long distance as well as close!! Certainly a good option for home defense I'd assume!!

@@MrDilley777 what I will say is, I own the 7 and 18 shot magazine and they're prone to jamming, IMO not reliable in a zombie apocalypse. The 5 shot is the only magazine that's never jammed. Don't know why but I've found I spend more time unloading Jams in the 18 shot than I do shooting it. Its fun, really fun, and looks cool AF but not reliable for taking down Zs IMO 🙏🏻 I'll probably do a video on the 7 and 18 shot magazine soon though

​@@SHTFpreppingUKI have the 7-shot magazine, with the 190 lb limb. It never jammed on me. Would be very reliable against zombies invading my home, I'm sure.

@SciD1 I envy you, no idea how many times I've gone through the 7 shot mag, quite a few and it's jammed, I do wonder sometimes if it's my aggressive cocking technique though 🤔

@@Dave300AMG as an avid runner and someone who takes cardio, strength and self defense seriously I could absolutely do a video on the best running shoes, I own and wear 3 pairs depending on the terrain as it is 🤣🤣

@@The.Air.Weapon.Channel thank you sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@TheShonuff888 yep, hence I could only shoot 1 of the 3 types of bolts as the other 2 were not heavy enough 🙏🏻💪🏻

@@SHTFpreppingUK i have 2 adders, I think it’s the best between speed and power. The only problem for me was the auto safety, but since i disengaged the safeties on both, i like it more. I would recommend the universal magazine from upbolt too, you can shoot any size or type of bolt.

@@TheShonuff888 2 adders! A man after my own heart! Yeh in an apocalypse I still can't choose between my adder and M10 but the adder is the best value for money by a mile IMO 👌🏼

@@SHTFpreppingUK 😂 yeah it’s crazy but if there was no way to disengage the safety, i probably would’ve gotten the M10 or the interceptor, after the new year Im getting one more adder, the 18 shot mag with the upgraded lever.

@TheShonuff888 the safety is permanently off the M10. I have the 18 shot and upgraded lever for the adder, lever great, 18 shot mag, prone to jamming IMO, that's just my experience and the adder with all the attachments becomes very heavy!

@@TheShonuff888 thanks for the comment 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I might twist up the string next time I test the distance but tbh, I think they're pretty powerful as it is so I haven't wanted more power just yet 😉

@@TheAArmstrong the M10 stock is easily the best stock I own, the locking lever is much better than the Adders and the cheek weld adjustment is a must 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@israelgonzalezortega7530 thanks for the comment. I wanted to first film with the standard bolts which come with the crossbow. I do however had broadheads for all the crossbows and different limb weights so I am most likely going to test their capabilities with broadheads next 🙏🏻 I can say with certainty from just shooting a broadhead at my Crossbow bag, the broadhead dissappear inside it and I haven't managed to get it back out yet 🤣

@@orderofmagnitude-TPATP thanks for the reply!! It would seem I need to add the Interceptor to my collection! I'm just not sure about the cost!? Is it worth it if you compare it to the Adder in terms of value for money?

I’d be interested too about your opinion on the interceptor (got one coming in feb)

When ive owned it for a bit longer i will let you know, it only came day before last or so. Haven't even taken it out the box yet, one thing i wasn't happy with is how long it took to come here... (few months)

@@candowonpressup6962 are you in the UK or US?

@@orderofmagnitude-TPATP is that to the US?

@@MrClivehill I don't know what you're talking about, we are just exploring the possibility of using a crossbow to defend ourselves against zombies 😉 this is all hypothetical of course 😏

Thanks the comment Mike. I think the difference is that for us in the UK, we would never use this crossbow for self defence or hunting as bow hunting us illegal in the UK. In the UK this crossbow is used purely for target shooting, the magazine element is just a unique quality that makes it more desirable from a buyers standpoint. The video was really only to give my unbiased opinion on the "bolt" problem as independent videos on RUclips are good for potential buyers. Thanks again. God bless 🙏🏻

@@lurid9602 I haven't owned it for long but I almost can't believe the quality for the price! I'm yet to shoot mega expensive crossbows though so perhaps I'll notice if I shoot a 1k crossbow! I really want the Jag 2 as well. It's on the list for sure! Especially if it's as good if not better than the jag 1!!

@@lurid9602 thank you for the comment 🙏🏻 I have ummed and ahhed about the Interceptor, my plan was to wait until regular ppl had purchased them and uploaded their own reviews as Jeorg Sprave has a financial interest in the product. It's quite expensive in the UK too, I think around 500 with a 60lbs (ish) limbset so you'd be looking at another 200-300 ish for an extra mag and a higher draw weight limbset. Don't get me wrong, I want it 🤣 but If I have 800 spare for a new Xbow I'd like to consider which one is best to add to my collection 🤙🏻🤙🏻

@@owenthomas9863 this is very true and I've mentioned in previous videos that the adder has jammed on me when using the 7 shot and 18 shot magazine. I'm going to do a couple of separate videos with the same Xbows going through like you said, reliability and stopping power also.

@@SHTFpreppingUK I had the same problems with misfires and jamming. Got a pack of anti jammers from unbolt and after 100-150 shots not one problem yet

@@candowonpressup6962 thanks for the comment. I'll look them up 🙏🏻

@@The.Air.Weapon.Channel thank you sir 🙏🏻 I'm nit sure any Xbow can compete with the Adder in the Zombie Apocalypse just yet??

The adder is definitely a good bow it will do well when the zombies come💪😜👍

@The.Air.Weapon.Channel can't wait 🤣🤣

@@TheAArmstrong I've just checked it out, decent tip! Thank you! Shame they're currently out of stock for the Redback, also 1.5x more expensive than a redback 🤣 not entirely sure I'd buy one though, maybe to review as a budget alternative to more expensive magazine fed crossbows perhaps 🤔

@ Didn’t check the price. Is that just for the Mag or crossbow included??

@@TheAArmstrong that'll be just the mag, it doesn't specifically say but there's other European and UK ebay accounts selling 3D printed pistol accessories and magazines for a similar price if not more!!

@@SHTFpreppingUK Yeah I’ve seen the snakehunter one for the OP360/alligator pistol. Most are built for that model. This one had an anti dry fire thing built into the mag. And I’ve never seen a good one for the Redback so peaked my curiosity.

@TheAArmstrong that's exactly what I was referring to. They look decent but not sure I want to spend that money yet.
