- How does this crossbow stack up to the new TenPoint Flatline 460? Our look at new for 2023 models leads us to Scorpyd's Tremor 460 XP with a look at this impressive new crossbow.
This channel is about my love of the crossbow, hunting, and the outdoors. I hunt exclusively with the crossbow. I love it and I aim to help you love it, too!

Bunjie (The O.B.) is a 2010 Excalibur Axiom Crossbow. After more than a decade of killing deer, hogs, squirrels, woodchucks, and even a bear, Bunjie is now semi-retired. Enter Bunjie III (or Bunjie '21, Bunjie 3.0, The Slick Black Cadillac of Crossbows) a 2021 Scorpyd Deathstalker 420, the result of trying various models and looking at dozens of them online for characteristics I liked. It is, in fact, a gift from a Friend of Bunjie, which goes to show how important Friends of Bunjie are to this channel and what an impact they can have. Bunjie III is a testament to modern crossbows, producing over .7 slugs of momentum and almost 140 ft-lbs of kinetic energy with stock arrows--at nearly 400 fps!
Bunjie, Jr., is my daughter Genevieve's crossbow, an Excalibur Micro Suppressor 355. This crossbow was also a much appreciated gift from a Friend of Bunjie, and it changed Death by Bunjie forever by inspiring Genevieve to become a part of our story as a second-generation crossbow hunter, and it also convinced me there is a benefit to a newer, faster crossbow (see our 2020 Maryland Doe Hunt).

This channel is the result of combining my interest in filming and hunting...and music, too! My related channel, Yankee Militia, showcases my music. Some of the music is hunting-related, so check that out, too! The soundtrack for this channel is provided by my band, so the two are intertwined. The albums "Live Free or Kill" and "Zombies Gotta Eat, Too!" are available on Amazon.com and elsewhere. A third album is in the works.
All Hail Bunjie!
--Rich Wilson, Death by Bunjie
description does not say what length arrows either ,,, 20 or 22" ???
I'm betting 20" although that's a great question, the 18 and a half inch draw length might want a longer Arrow even!
Actually I think they're 22-in! The Scorpyd spec looks like it's 22-in according to their website, thanks for bringing this up!
They are 22 I just got one
@@Deathbybunjie Are there crossbows suitable for warfare in Ukraine? Can the crossbow in this video survive the weather elements in Ukraine?
@Reasoner Enlightened that is a profound question, I say yes to both
Ah, rope cocking. Last weekend it was wet out and just as the string was clicking in my foot slipped out of the stirrup . The stock jumped right into the family jewels.
rip...
yep, think I'll keep my turbo s1 lmao
Ouch!
Last time as I was cockinggg it I probably touch the engage thing on my wicked rod Rdx 400. The thing hit me so hard in the right side of my face ear, I look like an mma fighter now.
You didn't want any kids...right?
I leave the crank handle on my Barnett 385 and still love it it. Shoot it for fun more then hunting here lately. Great video
There’s a lot of things I really like about this crossbow! First and foremost is that it has solid limbs! Leads me to believe it would actually last a long time (I define a long time in crossbow life as 20 years). My old Horton lasted 26 years, and currently my SA Sports Anbush is on year 8! I’m not one to drop $1k plus on a crossbow, but this one is very intriguing! I like the personal insights you offered in this video, and your delivery is awesome! 👍👍
Get an r10. Perfect hunting weapon.
I think the R10 is still one of Ravin’s best!
the limbs are too heawy, yes they are strong, but too schock, too stress
Where has Bungie gone ??? I hope all is well with the family. Just miss my bungie updates.
the optimization of the application of physics when it comes to bows and crossbows in the last decade or so is truly impressive.
Indeed, this is the Golden Age
Hope everything is well with y'all. Haven't seen you posting anything for a while.
When I got my Killer Instinct Ripper 415 I named my cocker "Joe". Then I got a crank cocker and named it Joe as well. Now I've got a "Joe" cocker and a "Cranky Joe" cocker. Just saying. 😂. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Big Guy! Thanks for all of your research, all that you do for us less patient and for putting out some great influence videos!
Now that is hysterical 🤣
Just graduated from a long bow 50 lb at 28" is there any reason why I can't make my bolts out of wood as I have always made my own arrows. Grate Chanel really enjoyed the videos.
Why I love cocker/decocker system (vs. rope pull)? My dad who had a torn shoulder and never fully recovered was unable to have heavy pull of traditional rope cocker system. And, while pricey, Ravin has a powered cocker/decocker system as well (looks like similar battery used as 18v cordless drill type battery). I am not a fan of the weight, but nice that it provides options for hunters that may not have the physical ability to rope pull.
Scorpyd looks like they make some quality crossbows and have some great patented technology. Another great video, Rich. Thank you!
Rich, I watched this video 3 times, anticipating when I pulled up your subscription, there would be a new one! Just kidding! I really enjoy watching your channel, and seeing a new one is like a kid waking up on Christmas morning. I know that you don't like the mechanical crank cocking systems, but I also had a bad experience with the rope system. I was practicing in the backyard in wet grass and decided to wear new boots I just got to see how they fit in the stirrup. I got about halfway cooked, and the stirrup slipped off my boot, sending the butt stock into my ribs. I got a real sore side and a big bruise! I got a new Tenpoint with the AccDraw shortly after that, and I really like it! I'm pretty sure all of my future crossbows will have a crank on it.
These are exciting videos. I love what’s out there these days!
Thanks for your response. I found in one of your episodes a reference to a block target you had recommended I have not been able to find that again. I got an idea from my local archery shop. I tapped the bolts through the block, removed the target point, tapped it back flush with the back of the block. Then I used an old cleaning rod that was slightly smaller than bolts cross section to tap it all the way back through. This did leave me needing to replace the nocks but the bolts were otherwise undamaged. the cleaning rod was easily removed. Now I think I need a different target for the R-10.
Man, I guess so! We shouldn't have to go through all that trouble that's for sure. But that does sound like a heck of a crossbow, good luck!
Love the info you give in the videos. Would love to see a video on 2023 budget x bows. Not really into spending that kind of money for a few months of hunting.
I get that 100%, Excalibur is next and they have some cheaper models and I do intend to look at Barnett and CenterPoint, even though Centerpoint hasn't put out anything new this year I don't think. Killer Instinct has a few new ones though!
100% AGREE with the rope cocker!! Next thing you see they’ll have us packing in cordless drills to cock these things, what a pain!! Oh, also, you won the argument… reverse draw on my next bow 😭👍😂
Great video and learning more about crossbows. Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Great video , not in the new crossbow market this year. Bought a Ravin R5X last fall. I love it ! Tagged out in early November
That's awesome, I've been looking at those crossbows, pretty neat! Congratulations!
I’m looking forward to year 4 with an r10. Couldn’t ask for more. Cock it sitting down, with no movement, keeping thumb on button for silence. Absolutely awesome weapon.
Also put it over your shoulder, just like a rifle.
Scorpyd makes a great bow. Personally I like a bow with a cocker/decocker. I just picked up a New Tenpoint Vapor 470. Bought it from a bow shop in West Virgina. They just started selling on Fleabay with 0 feedback. I took a chance since nobody would bid on a zero feedback. Got a steal on a 2500 package for 1170. Great channel and hope you start posting again soon.
The Scorpyds that have cranks can be decocked, they can all have cranks added. I just don't like cranks personally
For all around everything you still can't beat an Excalibur
My tenpoint nitro rdx had the reliability of a Excalibur, way narrower way fast and more accurate, my nitro 505 is better again, I can change a string in the bush , there not a mtr wide and I've dropped red stags and hinds heaps of fallow deer pig goats Fox's and never had 1 single problem on all those hunts and shots , double lunged a red deer hind at 100 yards a couple of weeks ago and if I had a Excalibur in my hand that deer wouldn't be in my freezer, there's heaps of all rounder crossbows out there and then there's amazing ones that you can do some pretty crazy shit with ...
Excalibur bows are such old tech and too wide. They are dying a slow death.
Just got one , so far I'm loving it !!!!!
I just want to be there when one of them blows up, don’t know who’s going to extract you! I’m of the KISS school Xcal all the way!!! Twenty years!!!!
😅
Me personally, I like a crossbow that is front heavy. To me it makes for steadier aiming when standing or without a rest. Just feels like I can stabilize and aim faster versus a light crossbow that moves around too easily.
After hunting with the tenpoint nitro rdx for around 5 years then getting the nitro 505 I will hunt with nothing but reverse limbs now they are so ballanced and steady on the target it's amazing
For those who have already purchased this Xbow, have you had any issues with string life? I have a Deathstalker 420 and had to replace the string after only two seasons of hunting with it which did not include a ton of target shooting. The serving where the string contacts the trigger posts started to unravel. My really old RDT 125 does not have that problem.
Great Chanel I have just graduated to a dessert hawk from a long bow and was wondering if I could use wooden bolts as I have made my own arrows for a long time any information would be great thank you.
Modern crossbows have a lot of energy, and I don't think wooden arrows Will Survive it.
Over the past 10 years I have hunted with Barnet, center point, Parker, carbon express and finally 4 years ago ten point and never looked back since .. owned the titan m1 and currently turbo m1… not one single issue in 4 years as a matter of fact customer service when I asked for something additional wouldn’t charge me they sent me the item and a free hat !!can’t beat that …. Barnett wild cat and predator both had cable issues center point pure junk cracked riser every year for 3 years …Parker cracked riser ….no issues with carbon express pile driver just to dam heavy and wide in tree
Love your videos hey can u do a review or talk about new 2023 hyper raptor from Barnett looks great and $ price too
I plan on doing that soon, a very interesting crossbow!
@@Deathbybunjie thanks bud
I have never thought of Scorpyd as cheaper or less expensive. That description alone gives the wrong impression of what they are.
They are one of the elite.
Hey Rich, as someone new to crossbows, I am very glad that cranks are now a thing for crossbows. I get what you are saying about high draw weights being a problem, though. The reason I like the crank is that my shoulder gets worse with age. Currently, I could probably rope draw most crossbows. Give it a few years and a surgery or two, and that might not be the case anymore. That being said, this crossbow sounds really nice and would suit both our needs.
Yep, pretty neat, if you want to crank they can put one on it for you, but it can be done without it, pretty cool, good luck out there!
Tenpoint nitro 505 ... thank me later , hunted with nitro rdx for years dropped everything from red deer fallow deer pig goats Fox's rabbits never 1 issue in 5 years string lasted 3 -4 hundred shots have the nitro 505 and it's a awesome bit of kit .. they are a bit heavy than others and pricy but quality is second to none
@Cole Fawcett tenpoint grabbed my attention early on looking at crossbows. Someday, when I have more money for it, I may well get one. Right now, I have a centerpoint that was a reasonable price, though I do wish the crank would allow for decocking.
@@prairiedogs001 Centerpoint is some good bang-for-the-buck
@@prairiedogs001 they are expensive , that last red stag I shot with my cz270 was just too easy so after that I said I will never shoot another deer with a rifle so I sold it and done months of research on what the best crossbow for me would be and at the time the nitro rdx just come out so I brought one and was amazed at the balance of the reverse limb design, second was how accurate it was and in no time I was putting 3 bolts in a 1" square at 40 mtrs ( with a rest ) and started on rabbits and whistling up Fox's and in no time I was wacking bunnies free hand at 50 mtrs and within a couple months I was dropping deer pig and goats and to be honest I really haven't touched any of my rifles since , back in the day I done a lot of compound bow hunting with sights and had a Barnett crossbow but they have come a long way since then but you look at the cost of a good rifle and scope and your up for 5k ... all the issues I had with the rdx ( having to shoot to unload it, busted knuckles if the handle slips out of your hand , bigger quiver) was all fixed in the nitro 505 but I was looking at the ravin r500e but I'm wrapped I stuck with what I know and the 505 is amazing, people carry on about speed and it doesn't have to be that fast to kill and they don't but they shoot way flatter and there's way more accuracy because the drop of the bolt between say 30 -50 mtrs might be 1.5 - 2 inches where as a slower bolt might be 4-8 inches and that could mean the difference between a hit and miss or a clean fast kill so no it's not all about the speed but it does make a massive difference but when you can the nitro 505 or even that new 460 model that has just come out, I can vouch for tenpoint because I have used the a hell of a lot and I've dropped 100's of kills with them , the strings last , super accurate a bit on the heavy side but worth it every bit
I am very new to shooting crossbows and I love your show I like the way you add humor to it it makes me laugh I really enjoy that keep up the good work
LOL thanks and good luck!
Just bought a Excalibur micro340td looking forward to cheap maintenance and adequate lethality. For the long term these are the bows of choice lowtech
I’m going to build me one of those. Shorter, tighter and longe draw, plus, it’s way cool 😎
BTW, thanks for all the good thorough information 👍🖖
I enjoy the crank only cause it allows me to still hunt. After the spinal fusion surgery I can’t bend over to use the rope cocker. But I enjoy your videos
Oh yeah cranks have their place for sure, good luck!
They do say that crank cocking provides better accuracy, but that would only be something detectable in a competition where millimeters count.
Please tell me you’re getting ready to put out more content? I can only binge watch past videos so many times. 😝😝😝
I’m really glad you did last vid( pro vs cons of reverse xbows) and i’m liking the Scorpyds especially because of the cocking rope/ weight
You and “Old Grumpy Hunter” have a calculator that does a “(Simple/Complex) Arrow Drop Between Two Distances Calculator” but it only goes up to 50 yards. You should increase it to 100 yards or at least 60 yards to accommodate the new devices like the Airbow TM or the pneumatic bolt device (Hatsan Harpoon).
Remember, we are crossbow only, so our calculators need to focus primarily on crossbows, but I did forward this on to him and we'll see where it goes!
Great video. Thanks for the information!
Geeeez Rich…. Now I just have to get one..! And Happy Birthday to ya..🎂
Lol good luck
I own a Ravin R10. Nice bow. I just bought a Wicked Ridge Black hunter with internal crank. 549.00 lighter than Scorpyd. To each his own. 1:59
..
Love that hair do dude , looks like you are a mad scientist.......good stuff.
😆
Happy Birthday, Rich!!!
I am a vertical bow shooter and thinking of transitioning to crossbows because of age. A few questions about the Tremor XP:
1. Can it be decocked without shooting by using a rope cocker?
2. If not, do either the ACUdraw or Aero Crank allow for decocking?
3. If a rope cocker is purchased and I decide later on that I need some sort of cranking system, can the ACUdraw for Aero Crank be added DIY?
1 no
2 yes, that's my understanding
3 yes, I've seen that in videos
Hope that helps! Good luck!
I just snagged a centerpoint dagger 405 brand new at Walmart for $106! Better than the Killer Instinct 380 I got for $124 three years ago(killed a buck each year too)
all hail bungie
INDEED!
Great video. I’m going to stay with my $800 crossbow that shoots 400fps. My maximum hunting distance is 40 yards. ❤
Nothing wrong with that, sounds like a good setup good luck!
RAVIN CROSSBOW and nothing else matters
I think there are plenty of other things that matter LOL
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have a great birthday weekend!
Thank you, feels good to be around for another year haha
While I have to admit the Scorpyds do look kinda cool (in their own way), I prefer a crossbow that isn't so wide. I guess it would be an advantage for those living in NY but not so much for everywhere else. I love my TenPoint! My opinion is that a Ferrari beats a Cadillac!
10point nitro 505 costs here in europe only €3,499.00 - close to 3,700 us dollars:))) talking about a deal, dont u think?
At the price of 1600-1799 I'd take the Ravin all day. If consumers shopped around they could get into the R29x for near the same price point.
I like the aluminum riser and rail of the Tremor over the composite riser and rail combo of the Deathstalker.
I'm betting that's where the increased weight comes from though, but it probably needs it for the extra strength
@@Deathbybunjie yep I think you nailed it there. And there are just some people that won't buy one with a composite rail. I'd be happy with either. Still only own Excalibur, but if I ever jump to a compound this Tremor XP would probably be it.
Thanks Rich for all the lessons. Great vids. 👌💪more please. Sittin in my blind with my little slick black Cadillac. Over a corn 🌽 barrel at 20 yards. NE Okla. Still yet to stick a deer. Dang! Maybe tonite.
Cheers Ken Shhhhh I’m hunting 🤔
Lol good luck!
The US Armed Forces said in WW2 that 36 FT. Lbs of energy in a round was lethal. As of today that number has moved to 59 Ft. 240fps is fast enough for my flatbow
Where have you been Bunjie?
Should be back soon
I think a lot the whole crossbow Crank thing is popular because people want a heavier crossbow but don't have the strength to pull a heavier crossbow which is fine work with what you got my guy
I'd get the heaviest crossbow ever made if I had a crank for it LOL
My bow has the accu draw. It is very slick, but the handles recess in to a pocket in the stock and are held there by magnets ( neat idea) trouble is they catch on everything ( harness straps, backpack straps, binocular straps) and they rattle, generally when you really don't want them to. I would cut them off but that would void the warranty of the bow.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Happy Birthday Rich!
Thanks, I made it through another one haha
I’m nervous about using a rope to cock a crossbow. I had double hernia surgery before and I never want to go through that again.
I'd buy a Scorpyd over a 10 Point any day. Scorpyd invented reverse draw technology many, many years ago. Mine is still like new after 7 yrs. I've got a very good friend of mine that works for FedEx and sees 10 Point crossbows coming back under warranty constantly
I've hunted with tenpoints for years the nitro rdx I had for around 5 years and dropped heaps of red stags fallow deer pig goats Fox's and not 1 problem, super accurate and excellent quality, little bit heavy but not really a problem, have got the nitro 505 and haven't had a single problem with it it's a amazing crossbow, complete pass through double lunged a red deer hind at 100 yards a couple weeks ago I just feel super confident with it because of the speed and accuracy, reverse limbs are the best, super balanced and easy to hold on target at longer distances and there triggers are super smooth which makes all the difference
Happy Birthday Rich
Thank you sir!
Happy Birthday Buddy!
Thanks!
great video. @8:02-ff is that your daughter's handiwork on your desk (bunjie III's 1st trophy)? whoever did it, did a great job!
Yes, it is!
Havent see a bew video in a while i really hope everything is ok for you.
Everything is great, been working on some other projects but I'll be back soon with videos
I enjoyed your comments ,Im a Boyer that is into cross bows . I’ve made a Automatic 4 shot crossbow that shoots unlike anything out there right now . As you may know Im still trying to to get a better balance on it so I am going with the reverse limbs concept . As well as making it legal in all states . What do I do next? Who do I talk to and how do I get it to the market ? Thanks. Monk Cartwright . 5974valley road Skiatook Oklahoma 74974 . Thanks again Monk 👍😉👌🦌
You need an intellectual property lawyer 💯 good luck sounds neat!
Hi Rich. Could you build a jig that would allow you to show us how wide a bow is, at rest, outside to outside of axles? Thanks.
Like as a model? That's a good idea.
fun with my 440 excalibur when i first tried the cocker i didnt use the jewelry and handle slipped and hit my thumbpad (a list of bad words) that hurt for some time after.
😁
If you live in Australia and you have a scorpyd and you need parts like a sled cocker, they will not ship out of U.S so it’s giant expensive paperweight!
You can buy some of that stuff off Amazon anywhere in the world though
@@Deathbybunjie , tried that doesn’t have any listings , not many things get shipped to Australia
Is that a strat guitar body I saw on your desk, archery, gun's n geetars, that's all I need to be happy,of course fishing in the off hunting season.
Yes, good eye! It's an old Squier Strat that I am going to rebuild and repaint now that the hunting season is over, I'm putting a Roland Midi pickup on it too!
Awesome,I like building guitar's almost as much as I enjoy playing them.
Notes on nothing in particular, Raven has a 500FPS bow and there are a couple others I think. And reading my local regs they actually have minimum draw weight of 150 LBS. Things are changing fast.
Ravin and TenPoint have 500fps...neat stuff
Hunted with the tenpoint nitro rdx for around 5 years and dropped everything from red deer fallow deer pig goats Fox's and awhile back I got the nitro 505 and I'm so glad I stuck with what I know and didn't go for the ravin r500e because they are junk , strings don't hold up and start falling apart after 50 shots they just haven't got the quality of tenpoints
Have you found that this now is tough on the string? I had issues with bows that had the steep string angle ?
I too like to rope cock the bow ! Great video!
I always worried about that too but the Scorpyd and my SWAT X1 are actually really good on strings from what I can tell.
I always worried about that too but the Scorpyd and my SWAT X1 are actually really good on strings from what I can tell.
Is a reverse CB more dangerous then the traditional? Since the shooter is down range from the limbs.
That's an interesting question, and I almost think it would be the opposite since the action of the limbs is out farther away from you. At least it felt that way when I first started shooting it. I can tell you now I'm shooting a crossbow that is reverse draw but not reverse limbs and it doesn't concern me one bit. So I don't know that it makes any real difference in the end.
What would folk pick between a Scorpyd and mission sub 1 Xr?
Would like to see a comparison between those 2 please.
Scorpyd 100% but it has to do with things that I find important, if you look at the video we did when I tested a mission I was kind of disappointed and I also appreciate faster speeds which the Scorpyd provides, but they make different kinds for a reason that's for sure, mission is still good stuff
Mim is metal injection mold.
7:57 I'll take your word about the desk... since I can't see the wood. haha
LOL it is a little bit covered up isn't it
hey, where did you go?
Still kicking, should be back with more videos soon
I see Minnesota is trying to get a bill passed that would allow everyone to hunt with crossbow 👍. It was just over 60 years of age or disabled could use them . That will bring up sales for the archery shops.
Way of the future 💯
I'm not cheap but I am frugal. I tapped out when I saw the price. [Ps. I'm 78 and still hunt with the Excalibur Exocet 200 that I got for my 65th BD.]
I totally get that!
happy birthday rich
Thank you very much!
Lower draw weight doesn't always equate to low limb stress. With a super long power stroke and lots of mechanical advantage in a cam, you can still create TONS of limb stress while keeping the draw weight low. Just a lil tidbit of info.
But high draw weight is sure hard on all the other components, and I also prefer owning crossbows with reasonable draw weight.
Its a scorpyded scorpyd tis a new crossbow lol.
Awesome vid again i am really liking this design and its darn near perfect a 190 lb draw getting the advertised speed with a hunting weight bolt as a stock bolt. Thats where we need to go in the crossbow direction not shooting match sticks but real arrows.
💯 agree
"d" is right next to "s" on the keyboard so there is that...proof reading is also a lost art.
@@blksn8k ???
The 'light" version is always more appealing to me. Some of these newer, high end crossbows feel like they weigh ten pounds. I ain't lugging that around.
Is there a difference between two crossbows that shoot 400fps if one of them reaches that speed faster? Like 0-60 in 3 seconds vs 0-60 in 6 seconds. That kind of difference. I HAD a crossbow that had bearings in the limbs where the cam shaft rotates. And it seemed to me like it released the arrow faster than my other crossbow that had the same speed rating. It just got me to thinking.
Interesting but I'm guessing no difference. The fps is generally all at 1yd...right off the end of the barrel. And feom what I've read the numbers are pretty predictable downrange, also.
Awesome video, I prefer the crank. To hard to foot rope in the stand. The crank can't tweak the limbs like I've done with the rope cocker and broke limbs. I haven't broke a limb since I switched to the crank. Happy friday
Yeah I totally get that, they had their place whether I like to admit it or not haha
Cranks really don’t bother me. Then again, I don’t mind rope either. To me the only advantage of rope cocking is speed. For whatever speed is worth.
Hi Rich I'm sure this question has been asked about your newest scope but how does this scope work in last shooting light low light conditions ? Thanks and keep up the great videos
It works as good as the Excalibur Twilight DLX that I used to use does it low light, it is better than my naked eye one half hour after sunset, and I can actually see to take a shot past when my phone gives out with video and can't shoot video anymore, so for my purposes it's great LOL
Hey buddy kinda worried. Hope everything is ok.
All good, got some exciting things going on here in northeastern Pennsylvania and I'll try to update everyone soon
He said…” crank cocker” 😂
Rich, the "D" and "S" are together on a keyboard. Easy to inadvertantly switch. Proofreaders didn't catch it. Just MY opinion.
💯 agree lol
Im looking forward getting a new crossbow but for now im sticking with my BARNETT RECRUIT. I've taking too deer with this crossbow spits rt thu double lung. Not a awsom bow but does the job. 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
Barnett can get the job done, that's for sure!
14:03 coming from a Mexican I can honestly say, you picked the wrong type of music! 😂. Happy birthday by the way! 🏹 🎊 🎉 🦌
I was looking for something with horns, it does sound a lot more like radio pop or something. I really should have gone with some of the other stuff I had on there, if you look at my saddle hunting video I had a lot of good Mexican style music in there, great stuff!
@@Deathbybunjie Thats right!! I forgot!! some Tejano style !!!
HBD BRO
Thanks!!
Where did you go ? Have not seen you for a long time . Did you give up on You Tube ?
Rich, I just went out and upgraded myself from a Centerpoint Mercenary to a Ravin R10. Lighter faster more ergonomic . Ok I have been using a block target and FMJ crossbow bolts with no real issue except they are difficult to remove from my block. With the R-10 and same size arrows at the same depth of penentration why can't I remove the damn arrows? puzzling and frustrating as heck.
Well that's just plain weird! If same length and level of penetration, shouldn't make much difference. Although you should have a little bit more penetration with that r10, that is a 400 ft per second crossbow and I do think that's one of Ravin's best in my opinion
You speak of your evolution as a crossbow hunter. Is it me, or have you evolved exponentially over the past year? Look at the technology you are using now and how you are using it?
Oh, man, I agree 100%! Of course it's not just me it's crossbow technology, but moving from my 2010 Axiom to a more modern crossbow platform was a huge eye opener. 100 ft per second isn't just 100 ft per second if you catch my drift. It means a lot more. When you combine it with that scope, wow! I really think the scope is the biggest thing to hit crossbow hunting since 2010 when I started. I was thinking just the same thing!
Oh my gosh😮 It looks like a scorpion🤣
Hi Rich. Great video. I would love to hear your opinion on the Xpedition Archery crossbows. They are not the fancy reverse limb style like the Scorpyd and TenPoint, but still a great product at a much lower price point. Keep up the good work and Happy Birthday 🥳🥳🥳
I am not very familiar with them but I will check them out!
Xpedition show all the signs of being relabeled mankung or paolang crossbows from Asia, just like PSE, Bear, and some other brands do for their crossbows.
@@tythomps Xpedition is PoeLang. CenterPoint is Man Kung. I am very happy with mine (branded as " EK Archery") and hope to take a few animals this year again. The South African Hunting Season starts in April, but the late season (July, August) is best for bow hunting.
It seems that you love Scorpyd crossbows they are great the first year you own one but every year you have one the limbs get weaker and the crossbow slows down FPS I know because I owned a Aculeus 460 If I buy a crossbow shooting 460 I don't want it at a different speed every year. The only way to prevent that is to have new limbs put on it every year.
That's interesting, I can't say that I've experienced it or that I've heard others complain about it but I will pay attention that's for sure
Rich I always hunt with around a 400 grain arrow even if I am using a 125 or 150 grain broadhead. Most bolts are forward weighted now at days by using a 80 to 110 grain insert so I either shave down the insert or just buy a lower grain insert to match my needs.
I can’t decided between this or the mission xr
I have a scorpyd LT and a mission Sub-1 XR…. The decock feature on the mission is simply awesome.. the trigger on the Scorpyd is the best I’ve ever experienced… both are great Xbows…!
@@lownr that doesn’t make it any easier. Lol. Thanks
Like to hear how quiet it shoots
I might buy one and then we'll both find out LOL but seriously I bet a little louder than the Deathstalker but quieter than most crossbows, if I had to guess
