Dang! Just found this video and was about to pull the trigger on one when I saw the 20% discount part. Then read the comments... At 10% off it's less compelling...

​@@michaelc3416even with the 10% discount Amazon is still cheaper...

Just picked up the SWAT X1 using the code .... Wish I was earlier but 10% is better than nothing! Thanks for the informative videos!

Thank you for the support, Dave! Glad this video helped, good luck this season!

Glad it was helpful!

Wishing your the best of luck this season!

You’re welcome! I think this would be a great upgrade for ya.

Thanks for your support, glad you enjoyed the video!

They’re great people 👍 thanks for sharing, enjoy your new bow!

Love it. Awesome setup!

Thanks for your support!

Thanks, Boomer! Sounds like you have yourself a solid rig as well! Wishing you great success in 2023!

@@draggindeeroutdoors Yes I'm finally gaining more confidence than I've had with the Barnett Raptor FX, and I'm hoping to get to your level this Fall!

Hmmm, sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Definitely touch base with KI, they should be able to get you the info you need. Only this I would is try tuning your arrows and see if that cleans up the accuracy problems. Good luck 👍

The Draggindeer code changed a few weeks ago to 10%. If there are better deals out there by all means take advantage of em!

Thank you, James! It’s a real solid bow, I think this one will pleasantly surprise most shooters 👍

Thank you, Jim! Next video I'll make sure the thermacell is full ;)

Thanks, Doug!

I’ve never shot an old Parker.

Mine does seem to have a decent amount of down pressure. As for the safety, grip the level firmly and slowly take it off. You should be able to switch it to fire quietly with a little practice. Hope that helps!

@@draggindeeroutdoors Hey Matt, are you concerned about the down pressure,? it has caused quite a ruckus over at cross bow Nation

I’m confused by your question. Are you looking for general crossbow info or info on the Bear X Saga 420?

@@draggindeeroutdoors Thank you, I want to start from scratch and I have no knowledge.

There’s a link in the description!

No issues on the Diesel X thus far

Hey John! Glad you liked the video and thanks for reaching out! Instead of writing a long comment, shoot me an email at draggindeer@gmail and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have!

@@draggindeeroutdoors I did email you, from my phone. It may have went to your junk mail

Anything 20” or longer, 390 grains total or more, and uses a half moon nock will work.

It’s a solid bow 👍👍

@draggindeeroutdoors I'm thinking about upgrading from a old Excalibur smf and Barnett Recruit that I just missed a doe with at 40 . Way to slow and the Excalibur way to wide .

A lot of tech for the money in this bow, though!

I would have that checked out.

I’ve been to two different mom and pop bow shops here in Michigan today and neither would touch it. They said they no longer sell or repair them because they have to many quality issues. Can’t get ahold of anyone at killer instinct so I am going to use this as a $500 wall mount and buy something else.

I’d say a little, but it’s what you would expect from an adjustable, AR style stock. I didn’t have any concerns with it.

Not at all. The X-cam system has 50% left off, very smooth/easy to cock IMO.

@@draggindeeroutdoors thanks much. I'm debating on this crossbow or the Wicked Ridge M-370 which Cabelas has on-sale as we speak. I like the speed and KE better on the Diesel X personally.

@@kurtglo Both are very good bows, IMO you're getting more bang for the buck with the Diesel X.

@@draggindeeroutdoors THANKS FOR YOUR IMPUT

Watch the reviews on killer instinct cross bows many of them end up with cracked limbs

KI updated the code to 10%. Still a generous offering from KI!

You check to make sure nothing is loose? Like your scope rail or rings?

Yea nothings loose

I'd be looking at Killer Instinct's Diesel X, Vital X or Fatal X. I'm a big fan of their X-cam system, smooth, easier to draw, low sound/vibe, plenty fast. If I had to pick one bow out of those 3...it would be the Vital X due to its weight and balance. And...with the discount code (can be found in the description of this video) the Vital will be well within your price range.

@@draggindeeroutdoors thanks. I'm seasoned hunter , fisherman not the best definitely not worst. My cousin's hunt to. Lol. No but I'm right at 50 been in these ole WV hills my hole life hunting fishing except few years journeyed down south took ole lady kids few years my pops was there for about 5,6 years.

Ok thanks for letting me bug ya little. Stay safe. From ur ole hillbilly buddy. Keep um in the center. 🎯

Hey Jerry. I just tried the discount code on the KI website and confirmed it does still work. EDIT: I also just followed up with KI and confirmed the Diesel X will come with string stops 👍

You are correct.
