@@fernfieldfarmsHomestead NAP ThunderGlo llluminated Half Moon Crossbow Nock. I have used these on a few crossbows at 400fps with no issues and I chronographed my Hyper Raptor at around 390fps with a total bolt weight of 400grains. The lighted nocks are around 35ish grains if memory serves right.
@@fernfieldfarmsHomestead Well actually I went back to using my trusty XP 400. I like the narrow limbs of the Hyper Raptor and that's about all. The foot stirrup is way to small for my size 12 boot so its 1 shot in my stand because I have to get down and remove my boot before I can cock it again, the cocking rope hangs and never engages safety when cocked and its heavier and in someway seems clumsier than my Xp 400. Oh and the Halo makes it hard to quickly swap bolts if I decide to take a pest but dont want to use my best bolt and broadhead.
I have the BCX. I’ve killed two deer with it. I have accuracy problems with the lighted knocks and no longer use them. Anybody else noticed this? Non lighted knocks shoot great. I only use the hyperflight arrows. What is your info source that says it’s ok to use other arrows. I appreciate your videos on this bow, good information.
My pro shop says that the Barnett are not getting the speeds they say they like the xp 400 and alpha 410 in a crograph is this right my amped 425 was shooting 500 grains and was still was still faster than the alpha 410with stock bolts
With the hyper raptor you site it in at 20yds it has 6-7 holds in the scope. Can’t remember at the moment. It doesn’t say but I would assume it’s 20-30-40-50-60-70. I had a hold Barnett that the scope was supposed to be 20-30-40-50 but 40 was more like 36 and 50 was like 45. My question is have you tested all the holds to see actually where they are? I unfortunately at the moment don’t have a place to test this out
@@fernfieldfarmsHomestead I have the hyper raptor there are no markings in the scope just says to sight it in at 20 and then I would assume it’s 10yd increments
@@183DELTA You can use regular bolts and use half-moon nocks. If you desire illuminated nocks Lumenock GTC nocks work great.Lumenok GTC nocks require a drop of glue at the glow stick stem to assure the components stay in place. Hope this helps.
@@183DELTA I almost bought this crossbow but seeing the broke strings and also I am a big fan of the victory bolts .I've not had much luck with using headhunter bolts with broadheads. I like my bolts spine indexed and to be atleast .003 and tolerance of headhunters even though they say .003 they are all over the place.
Was going to buy this xbow. They can't produce these wth the buk ops scopes in time for hunting session. Bought a tenpoint and will not buy a barnett probably every.
I wish I had your contact. They don’t answer the phone, respond to messages or emails. They have my junk 410 and I can’t find out anything about the status. Totally unacceptable.
@@fernfieldfarmsHomestead It has the very common problem of the incorrectly made V groove in the cams shredding the cables. As I said before when Mike was there and answering calls specific to this bow he promised many of us redesigned cams, cables, & strings that would cure the problem. My cables shredded in June. Mike said that since I had other bows I might as well wait to send it until the upgrades were available in August. Mikes gone….no clue to where, no one knows anything about any upgrades. They finally sent me a shipping label & not a word from anyone since.
I have the bcx and I shot it 20 times and the serving string was shot Barnett has had my bow for almost a month and nothing back from them I use the metal nocks
The plastic piece that holds the string on the cocking string broke and pieces went everywhere. This was on the hyper raptor. It’s a bad design and not safe. It should be metal.
I think we complain about things that need not be complained about. Instead of loading the bolt nock through halo first, put the point through the halo apparatus then push the nock in the trigger mechanism. You are making it too difficult, where it needs not be.
I use the lighted crossbow nocks from Walmart paired with Bloodsport bolts and have zero problems shooting from my Hyper Raptor.
@@outlaw7195 what nocks are those ? The only issue I see is of warranty comes up and it's not covered because they haven't tested those products
Not sure if they would do that just don't even want to open that door haha

@@JeffMcDaniel-k7o only headhunter bolts ... That's from Barnett . You don't get lighted nocks though
How is the v between the cams did they fix
Have you had to replace your cocking sled? It seems only Barnett has one for the hyper raptor.
@@philott3795 I have not. No problems so far
Hey bro when was the updated BCX released - it looks like I have a MAY 2024 model - just received it - let me know - THANKS
Not that long ago I didn't think the realtor was last year and BCX was this year

@@Tommie-p7w rarely does a bow get the speeds they say. It's usually a special grained arrow that most of us wouldn't use .
I made a bench went i set my crossbow so nothing move and i shoot at 25 and 50 and 60 never had a problem

According to the Barnett website you can use their regular bolts also

Is the hyper raptor or the BCX made in USA?
@@vince4537 no they are not anymore
I thought u had problems with the hyper raptor shooting headhunter bolts
@@ShawnEvans-fe9fn with lighted nocks yes but it shoots normal just fine
Awesome buying the hyper flights for 3 runs pretty penny good to know headhunters works for half the price

That's a good tip. I try to keep my hand north of the strings if possible that's why I do it that way.
