Great video & review Jim! I love the SWAT X 1, and the barrel system which locks the arrow firmly in place! The bolt and nock remains firmly against the string and cannot slip off. Ironically my best views video is about this crossbow which my friend Dave owns! My Wicked Ridge M-370 tool five deer last season but I’m now experiencing string fray! And now thanks to you I know why!
Lower left side. We think M-370’s are susceptible to fraying below the flight rail! Tenpoint recently sold factory refurbished ones for $399! Bass Pro $499 w/ an MSRP of $799 with Acudraw. I’ve order a new string & server!
You know, Bud to be honest, God truthful. There is no comparison between these two crossbows, and that's because of the trigger on them the swat x1 has the best trigger that I have ever shot on a crossbow. I have two raven r tens i've got the mission sub1xr and I can say I just picked up the swat x1 and it absolutely has the best trigger out of all of them. They say it has a three pound pull but it does not it is really light trigger pull no travel and I think it may have a two pound to a pound and a half pull it is absolutely beautiful now. I'm not sure how well the crossbow will hold up. Compared to the others time will tell but I am really loving the trigger on this crossbow
Now that I have had my x with crank. For seven months no problems but the butt stalk is a little bit too loose so I tighten it up.as for durability so far so good. The crank system is very good and easy. The rope cocker has a sharp edge on it. I sanded mine. As for accuracy 70 yards still in bulls eye.
@@rhondaandrew1764 which crossbow did you take elk hunting? And what grain bolt and what broadheads? I’m trying to decide what crossbow to go with next year. Got my first elk this year with a rifle but wanna go bow hunt
Fatal x poor cheek placement,= inconsistent accuracy way out there My x1 2 seasons in northeast Ohio ,best fall weather has to offer, zero issues, pile drivers 150grn Magnus, 365 ish on speed ring setting Best~Regards
To quote"most people that own these crossbows never have a problem with them". I'm really not being a jerk, but have you looked at Amazon reviews lately, or spent just a few minutes browsing through YT vids? You lost all credibility with that statement. Now, I own KI bolts. They are fantastic. I also own a Boss 405. It only has 2 bolts through it as I cannot crank it from my weakend state-cancer treatments. I sold it to my brother and ordered a Fury 410 de-cock. With 2 weeks from delivery I am questioning that decision because of price and looking at fatal-x. But, Im afraid I will get a junky bow and the talk of the net is the new KI owners will not reply to emails for warranty. I have no idea what to buy..
Don’t you think that at least 80 percent of swat x1’s and fatal x’s work as they should and that the bad reviews are from 20 percent or less of the owners who have problems. I mean 20 percent of all KI crossbows of these models would still be thousands of crossbows.
I am sorry the price that you said it was is way to high !! I am better of going to buy Center Point Crossbow!! Less breaking on lamb and beside that I buy a Bear X Saga 425 that have a life time warranty and made in USA !! Better quality and less trouble with it !! I have heard and seen a lot of a bad thing about killer instinct !! I am not going to waste my time with it !!

That’s awesome. How did you tighten the stock?
The Allen head bolt that allows it to lengthen or shorten. I noticed it was noisy during elk season. It rattled and just about drove me nuts.
I did get to answer my question on how rain effects the arrow flight at 30 yards it drops 1/2 inch. The rain was a down poor

Buying used on these Killer Instinct is a loser, because the lifetime warranty only applies to the original owner.

Remember, speed bows only last about 10 years.
🤔I’ll probably get something new by then

Bear x is made over seas
If it says killer instinct it belongs in the trash
