Greetings from Scotland. Been dredging through post's for a decent reviewer. Finally found one. Gratitude! Been saving for one of these. And now i'm ready to buy. Stay safe & enjoy. ✌️
@@onassisdenegreirossilveira8617 it would be the same quality. It's good and good price. If taken care of it will last a long time. Not much bad things to say about the cross bow.
I personally don't like having all the stored energy of the compound crossbow right by my face. Ive got a barnett wildcat recurve crossbow that has just enough power for hunting.
I wouldn’t be too worried about bolt velocity. I hunt with handmade longbows that only shoot around 160-170 FPS with no problem. Stick with heavy bolts and fixed blade broadheads and that x-bow will blow through game.
Kong Have you herd of using adult arrows 500 to 600 grn arrows you don't have to concentrate on speed its more the weight of the arrows complete pass through on big game 😇
adult arrows 🤣 I just call them heavier arrows but yes , one problem I have with that is I cant shoot to far, got to get closer. like I said its possible to take game down with a horse bow.
@@Muttley69 it does recommend the maximum distance for hunting is 50 meters on these ones. If your just target shooting you can shot as far as it can go.
all good, you got a location in mind? if you got Facebook you can add me if you want then just pm me. I got a lot of hunting buddies now, I'll add you on the list🤣 but when I say I'm going hunting , make your self available 😁
At the start I was thinking why would he want a crossbow when he has a rifle and then you mentioned the farmers haha. I've never had problems with farmers but I'm careful around farm edges. I've seen many deer that are technically on public land but are right next to the paddocks so I've left them.
can also shot from the car on the road and no one will know (that's how I get turkeys in the pass) 🤣 not legal. There's another main reason why a got a xbow but will cover that in later video.
@@selfreliancelife9133 If you want turkeys plenty of farmers will be happy for you to shoot them. I've asked them around Otorohanga and have been allowed on a few farms.
I’ve got a jag 1 Get it zeroed with field points then switch to broad head and zero is off quite heavy and cumbersome I prefer my recurve bow and stalk to ten meters or under which with goats is doable A nice flat trajectory with confident shot placement puts them down Would be cool to see you take something with your Jag It might tempt me to get mine out of storage
even with compound bows your broadheads very rarely hit the same POI as the field points. But how doyou tune it to do bring it back in? haven't seen many video on that
@@kel-jamesdevon8190 that because a lot wont show or admit their mistake or miss, as long as the grouping is good that's what it matters. its not like we shooting mouse with it.
@@kel-jamesdevon8190 if your grouping is a size of a apple that will be awesome, crossbow are pretty accurate, and the broad head and the field head should hit in the same spot, the only problem is if you buy the cheap 3 blade broad head online, I have hade problems with them flying funny in the pass.
You can also get the Jaguar 1 Deluxe which has the red dot site and is up to 175lbs draw weight. A little more expensive than the Jag 1 but it's a good package.
@@hobocyclist oh that, when I had my life style block I was catching possum, was using it to catch feral cats because they were eating my chickens. but I just put it there to hold the camera while I was shooting
@@selfreliancelife9133 cool yeah ive caught both those species in my live trap before, always thought it might work for some other animals too but havent tried yet
I shot a 195 lb wild boar last month with my 65 lb Compound Bow.300 fps.Have hunted with a recurve Bow for 45 years, taken pigs, deer, goats and many other game including fish like Koi carp..a Cross bow is to weak for my liking..compounds are very powerful
@@selfreliancelife9133 haha, We have a piece of paradise up North in Kaiwaka, great fishing below the house on the Kaipara. Wild pigs swim the river and attacked our Kunekune boar so I had to drop him, I was standing next to our bed and fired through an open window at 30 mtrs, heart shot he ran 20 mtrs and was down. Not many around that close but I have seen 4 this year, had hunters here with dogs , they saw and got nothing..my sows in heat bring them..
a goat is easy to kill with it, deer can be done as long as your not to far away, deer reaction is good coz when they hear the bolt start flying they duck down and you can miss.

Thanks
Me aswell mate got the jag 2 yet to try it out .
@@kevinrogalski3524 Loving mine. Had it for a while now. And it exceeds expectations.
Do you use a false string to change strings? I don't have one in the package. Is there any technique for changing strings without a false string?
I have no experience with changing the string on these. They normally come with the string on from the manufacturer. Cheers
Hello friend, I'm from Brazil! Does the Jag 2 have good quality and durability? Would it be better or worse than Mankung crossbows? thanks
@@onassisdenegreirossilveira8617 it would be the same quality. It's good and good price. If taken care of it will last a long time. Not much bad things to say about the cross bow.
@@selfreliancelife9133 Thank you very much warrior!

Need good stalking and shot placement to hunt with bows. Not so much power. Otherwise get a gun 😂

yes this cross bow will do nicely, cheers

@@outlaw7195 sweet as.
Just what I was looking for,, thanks.
Thanks mate . Sorry for the late reply
Was looking for a review of this crossbow came across your channel. Good to see some sites from fellow kiwis. Good, no nonsense review.
Thanks buddy. Sorry for late reply, 2 years later reply 😂
Decent review, I'm going to order one would you have any idea on what distance the darts can fly for. Thanks
@@Muttley69 it does recommend the maximum distance for hunting is 50 meters on these ones. If your just target shooting you can shot as far as it can go.
Good on ya mate! Spring is just around the corner 😁
yes animal love to come out to eat on the fresh spring grass
I would be keen to go hunting with you I live up the road from u an I just got me a new cross bow to

Cuántas pse tiene esta jaguar 2? Un saludo desde España 🇪🇦 i
Sorry I can't understand that
I have this crossbow it's good. Just for better aiming use scope. It's really precised. One - is servo on the string need to be replaced pretty often.
I have yet to shot something with it as I'm struggling to get close enough. Will do soon .
Is this in New Zealand??
Yes this is in New Zealand

yeah for sure, I didn't buy it for display 🤣 once I get some time and petrol money and a camera person its happening.

@@selfreliancelife9133 okay so if my groupings are bad with the xbow it will be more to do with my form then? I'm still new to xbow hunting

Hay khong can you do a vlog on your lawn mowing hussle.like how much you charge, the gear you take and ext..chur
thanks, that video is up now, check it out😀
Thats a nice crossbow, how would the jaguar 1 compare to it?
It's a bigger brother to the jag 1. A lot faster.
You can also get the Jaguar 1 Deluxe which has the red dot site and is up to 175lbs draw weight. A little more expensive than the Jag 1 but it's a good package.
Looks like a nice bit of kit..good on ya mate..looking forward to the cross bow hunt
cheers mate. got a few videos to do, still waiting on TPK to do a pig hunting video with his dog. will get to it.
Awesome video, thank you. Good to see a video from a kiwi as the others are all foreign and you never know if the product we have here is the same.
still need to shot something with it, struggling to get close is the problem. Thanks
Thought he was Australian.
Great vid man.
Thanks, I still need to take it out and do a real hunt with it, might do that this week when the sun comes out.
😂 finally, come for a crossbow hunt soon.
ahh not so busy after all 🤔😂 yeah for sure, make a Saturday free and we can do both, dog and cross bow.
Too busy to watch your video. 😂 just finished work, milking througth the weekend, my weekend off next weekend, but will sort things out for the hunt 😂

Thanks. Live trap ? I'm not trapping anything at the moment
@@selfreliancelife9133 cage trap beside your target ;)
