Awesome video buddy. I changed the cables and string on my Barnett XP400 last night because the serving was starting to separate and the cables were fraying. The first time I've ever did it on any of my crossbows. I was extremely surprised with how well it went. I set the cam lean and timing and axle to axle distance all by myself. And when I cocked it and fired it, it was still on target . I hit the same spot as the last arrow before changing to new string and cables. I have a bow shop 1/2 a mile from my house but I prefer to do any work to my stuff myself. It saves me money and I learn how to work on crossbows. Of course KZfaq played a big part in my success. I think I'll hold off on buying the hyper raptor for now. There's just too many features that don't suit me. But, anyways stay safe and good luck this season.

Just got mine last week. This video was very helpful. That click is everything. Thanks!

Quiver fits perfectly on the right side

UPDATE: My CCD broke. The locking lugs for the crank totally sheared themselves into dust within 5 shots. Thank you for making these follow up videos - you should continue the series so we can see the progression of the crossbow and how it holds up! I will be taking mine out for the first time today (sighting in)

Glad things are going well for you now. 😀👍

Hope you all the success in the field. I just got a new crossbow this year after six years on my old one I got a Barnett ex350 a true budget crossbow but 450 grain zombie slayers are flying 350 fps over the chronograph so she’ll do the job. Good luck and short blood trails

Good stuff.

Glad to hear its holding up since Barnett replaced it! Have you found a case that fits it yet?

That scares me that you have to put your hand up towards the front end of a loaded crossbow to get it to click in! Admittedly I have never shot a crossbow so I'm just not used to the idea of doing it...but it gave me anxiety watching you do that! lol Good video.....I have subscribed

I have the Hyper Whitetail and the quiver on mine can be placed either way on the bow so, I turn mine to where the knocks are forward instead of at the handle and then I remove the quiver in the blind. I've harvested two does with it this year. Loving the bow but the bolts are expensive...lol

Does your hyper raptor sound like there is something rattling around in the trigger mechanism? I know the trigger itself Moves around a bit. But there is something in mine that sounds loose. I engaged the mechanism and released it and it seems to be working fine. I haven't shot it yet though. I wanted to ask you about this first. I was just wondering if yours was like mine. Thanks

Do you feel the raptor to be a good killer at 40 yards?

What grain field point does the arrows come with and what grain broadhead are you using? Thanks

Been shooting half moon nocks out of mine works just fine

At 410 fps, are you using fixed or mechanical broadheads?

Mine is freying to after 25 shots. After you sent it back in is the issue fixed?

My raptor is on its way to me now. My question for you since you have spoke at length with them. The webpage states you can use reg diameter arrows with half moon nocks! Did they mention this to you? It also states to not use headhunter lighted nocks as it will damage bow! Did they happen to mention what reg arrows and lighted nocks to us? I’m Leary a bought these thin arrows ha. Thanks

I swear that damn latch is way to tight, like it’s nice that the quiver won’t fall of but Jesus

I just bought the hyper raptor with Crank Cocking Device because it was the only hyper raptor available. Can I still cock it with a rope cocking device and not use the Crank?

Have you shot this bow with standard diameter bolts?

You haven’t mentioned anything about the flip down grip

I agree late doe season is horrible. Instead of killing 1 doe you kill 2 or 3 deer. Smh trying to wipe out as many as they can.

Outside, you talk too much; great crossbow. I bought one yesterday, but with school and work, i have not had a chance to shoot it. Cant wait

Why are you not showing us what the lighted nocks look like this is the second video you've made since you had the lighted nocks and you're not showing us the lighted nocks I'm not going to keep watching your videos if you don't show the lighted nocks
