@@kevinr5187 yes he does. He was going to sell it but then he got a bear with it. He says it is front end heavy. I would look at the weight of the cp400 vs the wrath
Ok the reason for the big stirrup is because it's doubles as a bipod. Let me know how those Easton aluminum bolts work out for ya. Once you make a couple 100 yard shots you'll probably go back to the original arrows. They claim that the Centerpoint brand bolts are the only ones you can shot with that particular crossbow
I read recently that leaving a new crossbow cocked all day can be hard on the limbs It’s better to buy the bow way before the hunting season and shoot it a lot
since you've had the cp400 for 6 months now what is your opinion of it ? i know the trigger probably needs work , but how are the limbs holding up and what do you think of the shooting cycle and accuracy ?
You know that would have been nice if you just got a raven crossbow instead of that one because you know most of that crossbow there is made in China the front end I guess it still made in America it's the Ravin r10 but I just don't trust the Chinese trigger mechanisms I had a Barnett crossbow the other day with the Chinese triggertech did not hold the string and it blew up on me good luck man and like my dad always told me you get what you pay for
This video was for the people that bought and like the CP400. Go watch ravin videos if you like ravin so much. I'm quite fond of my CP400. Any bow that allows me to accurately shoot and kill a deer at 90 yards is a well made crossbow. All your so called claims about being made in the USA is wrong. It is 'assembled' in the USA with parts from China.lmao. Last but not least the company Velocity Outdoors that owns the Ravin brand crossbows also owns Centerpoint. Wait does this pretty much mean that slapped a ravin sticker on a bow then charge an extra 1500 bucks? I'll admit the ravin might be a little nicer, but far from being 1500 bucks nicer but when it comes to accuracy and power the CP can hit your target just as easy as the ravin. You guys have a nice day and happy hunting.
@@BackyardBroadheads I thought those Centerpoint CP400's and the Wrath 430 were made in the USA...that's a let down for me. I guess I should have known by the low price point on the Wrath. But the CP400 was a bit pricey if I recall. Well thanks again, I've enjoyed your videos!
@@buck5434 My next step for better accuracy was that I was going to purchase some expensive arrows and I knew that after that I still would want the ravin so I just returned it and got the ravin
@@BackyardBroadheads idk what he had but I read some reviews on the cocker string breaking and limbs exploding. I have the same one coming this weekend has yours still held up? And also I heard that it tends to dry fire if the arrow is not seated correctly which doesn't make sense.
As long as you load the bolt correctly which isnt hard, it won't missfire. I've had mine for a while and shoot it religiously with zero problems. Keep plenty wax on the string and slide, load bolts odd color down in the slide track, keep fingers clear and have fun.
thanks for posting this video , it came in handy to help pack my cp400 up to return it .
Ha!
Nice unboxing. I am torn between the 400 and 430. Not sure which one best fits me. I subscribed to your your channel. Thanks
Thanks. Tuff call. Did you look at Barnett at all?
@@BackyardBroadheads I read on of your post that said you got rid of your 400? Why? Does your buddy still have his 430?

The scope rings have pads in them. A much appreciated bonus.
Great video.Did you ever make the smaller stirrup for the CP400?They over did it with that big goofy one they sell it with.
No I returned that crossbow. Yeah the stirrup is kinda huge. I’d like to try one that comes with a crank and remove the stirrup
@@BackyardBroadheads I have one with the crank it's pretty nice I haven't had a issue with this crossbow yet
@@ericberrios3624 yeah I didn’t have any issues with mine. It felt very solid. I just wanted to switch to the ravin

No, I liked the crossbow but I sold it. I learned later that the lead sled was causing my accuracy problem.
I've been looking at the cp400 and the fatal x been leaning towards the cp400 which one do you prefer
I never had a fatal x but it’s one of my favorites
I read recently that leaving a new crossbow cocked all day can be hard on the limbs
It’s better to buy the bow way before the hunting season and shoot it a lot
The fatal x is pretty compact

It was nice but I returned it
@@BackyardBroadheads mmmmm okie dokie .
Is this front heavy at all?
Just solid all over and a little heavy
Is it the same scope the r10 uses?
I don’t remember now for sure but I think it was the same.

Overseas meaning China?
Not sure. When I emailed them their reply said overseas so I guessed China or Taiwan maybe.

@@geetarman58 thank you. I did own that CP400 for a while and it was very well made.
What didn't you like about the cp 400?
