Does not shoot 420fps as advertised complete false advertising and if you go to other RUclips videos with crony readings with different arrow weights you will be disappointed !
About 1,020,000 results (0.41 seconds) 1964 Bear Kodiak - (7-7/8 inch brace height) - 162.4 fps with the aluminum arrow and 184.3 fps with the lighter carbon arrow. What is clear is that all four of these classic Bear Kodiaks shot well, and with remarkably similar arrow speeds. Jan 3, 2010
Yeah the claimed numbers are higher than reality. The reverse draw unit shoots a 140gr bolt at 315fps; work your way to a 347 grain bolt, and the FPS drops by a hundred. Bit it’s still delivering something like 35 foot pounds of energy, which with sharp blades is doing real damage. It will go through a 6 inch slab of meat, so it would go deep into the belly - or well into the skull - of any creature from which you may need to defend your home.
Way neat!! 😊👍🏻👍🏻 I woulda though bet the pistol brace/stock's longer part woulda rolled upwards the pic rail.. But I guess then someone woulda complained of how it annoys when shooting without the stock in use.. But, either way, a damn neat bow.
Great call out. I have take deer with this. It's about as hard hitting as a vertical bow. I used the 13 inch sting bolt, stainless inserts, and all together 400 grains with broadhead. Cut through three ribs on the way in. Deer went 40 yards and dropped.
@@Marread String would have to be made by a custom string maker similar to other bows. I really wish bow companies used better strings out of the box too, I am with you there. They work but leave room for improvement. The cams, I am pushing for this too. I agree, it could be a good improvement for future designs or upgrades.
How cool!
They’re a bit expensive for what they are!
Needs to be more powerful 💪💪 so I won't stick out like a swollen thumb 👍 walking down the road with a full sized crossbow 😔😔🥺😔😔 Damage 😔😔

You would be surprised what fps Fred Bear's Kodiak recurve bow was shooting at when he killed everything it hit.
Hint wasn't even 200 fps...........

Can't please everyone but this is a fun one.
How much for either one also, can you replace replace string and about?
String is replaceable. There is a kit and extra strings/cables available to be able to change them out
Whoa!
Impressive wow🎯
Impressive indeed!
Cool!
it shoots at 330 fps i own one (uk) 300 with a mid bolt and about 285 with a broadhead

I'm in the UK too. Did you get this, supersonic rev version or William tell? Apparently they are all the same.
Needs better string and cams other then that decently solid piece
That's right
Can you upgrade strings and cam?

why does the one appear to be a whole lot more compact? is it an illusion?
May just be the additional stock on the reverse draw one?
