dose this crossbow have a trigger creep on it ??

Super helpful optics tips

For me it's a relief from me "trying". It reminds me to just relax and God's plans are bigger than my plans. God bless my brother.

Im going to have to follow this channel now.. Go Blue!

Nice

God blessed me yesterday with sighting in my crossbow. I have been avoiding it strangely with a new scope, broken right foot, just really avoiding “ potential problems” even though it needs to be dealt with. I’m sort of OCD so minor stuff that isn’t perfect can trigger my brain. I hate the triggers though so I avoid a lot. But yes I got out and took a Burris Oracle X and Centerpoint Amped 425, burris just software updated. Put them on the bench rest and got it dialed in “almost” perfectly. No issues or struggles or roadblocks. After that smooth session found myself looking for little things to get worked up about. Crazy stuff. I’m very thankful today … prayed about it. Bottom line is I’m absolutely ready to hunt today from a gear perspective. Thanks for sharing these videos. God is good to us all the time! Amen! Appreciate you!

What lighted nocks do you us

I have a few comments/questions for the questions asked. The first is about the Corvette. Which is easier and faster to stop, a Corvette travelling at 70mph or an 18 wheeler at 55mph? The second is about penetration. Would you want to shoot an elk at 300yds, with a faster, let's say 100gr .243 travelling at about 3100fps or a 30-06 with a little slower and heavier 168gr bullet at 2900fps? The last comment is about the deer not going very far after being shot with a razor sharp fixed blade. From what I remember reading a long time ago, when the deer was hit with a razor sharp broadhead, it was thought that it basically felt like being poked with a needle and the deer didn't actually know they were shot. Now, if you hit one with a less than razor sharp and even larger broadhead, the deer will definitely know they have been hit and run farther if they can, depending on what the broadhead hits. Edit: the bullet velocities mentioned above, are at the barrel, just to make that clear.

Ripper 415 vs vital X 430 Your thoughts on the two

It dawned on me one day that if God wasn’t for me, he would not of made me . I started bracing that thinking life is so much better . Powerful video

Thank you for the tutorial I got mine without a user manual

Good lesson for the day. Really need Jesus in this corrupt and evil world

That was also my pick this week. Such a powerful realization that our Father sends His Holy Spirit to live with us and guide us day by day. We serve a loving God! Have a great week! ❤

My friends think I am nuts shooting 920 grains for whitetail, but it is I who is consistently breaking shoulders and pinwheeling them in place, and it is I who they call to help track their deer the next day. Yep, I am the crazy one, for sure. Thank you for your knowledge, Dr. Ashby. You are a bowhunting legend as far as I am concerned.

🙌

Something I did and now stay with is 950 grain arrow and head combo. A 250 spine Sirius Vulcan. An insert of 100 and 200 grains. The Grizzly broadhead in 300 grains. The Tuffhead dangerous game 400 grain both single bevel. The balance point of the 29 inch arrow is 4.5 inches from the back of the head. And I shoot through the new 3D target

❤❤

Great video Matt. Only complaint I have is that the video was not released a week sooner. I had just purchased a dozen .003 shafts at the cost of around $70. No where near the price point of these. The bolt you broke down was the insert fairly easy to remove? What is the inner diameter of these shafts? Thanks for another helpful review!

Every good interview. Enjoyed the stories and his logic.

I've got one in my amazon cart right now but wanted to get a hunter or crossbow shooters input on it. Thanks

This is awesome! He's a treasure of info and just gets put down when he shouldn't. His ideas have improved my bow hunting tremendously

Troy has a crossbow now. I can't wait until he starts doing his testing with it.

Nice video. I try to watch Troy every now and then but I feel like he is missing a few things. The broad head as well as the fletching can not create lift. They produce drag. Another issue I take is Troy him self has said he a producer not a consumer of content then discredits other archers by stating no one else discusses different topics. I think he makes valid points I think you two did an amazing job with the data. I’m not discrediting the conversation I would like to see as much emphasis on the tune and set of the kinetic energy machine as well as shooting fundamentals. I shoot 73 pounds 31 inch draw I push a 443gr arrow set up with a 50gr insert and 100gr iron will single bevel. I live in south Mississippi and that combo works great for pigs and works great for elk and bear in Idaho. This is the first video I’ve seen on your channel I’m now following I think it was nicely done. I just don’t chase the weight or speed numbers I find what I can shoot the best and hold out for ethical shots are what make the biggest difference. Do you know if Troy took up fmjj offer on the bow tuning video?

I bought the light weight kuiu shirt and pants on last year. Really like it. Want the Sitka but a little rich for me lol

I am not a crossbow guy in fact I kind of hate them but if you're going to shoot a crossbow you do not need to shoot 300 plus screens up front you do not need to knock tune and all that other malarkey they're accurate out of the box Aim, Shoot, kill...

Magnus hornet ser broad heads fly identical to field points out of my crossbow with Black Eagle proflight 16.5 arrows 20% foc. My arrows have been tuned using Draggin' Deer Outdoors tuning videos.. All your videos are great and super helpful!!

Great video summarizing the differences.

That's impressive! I'm looking to replace my current crossbow (PSE Fang), and you just made the decision for me with that 100 yard group. Thanks for a great channel! (I also commend you on the devotionals-very Christ-honoring!)

Good video 👍

good information that a crossbow hunter can use in a practical way! i wasn't all that happy with my grouping at 40 yd plus last summer when i bought my new rival x and used my normal ki setup..... 300 gr arrow with 100 gr mechanical, coming to around a 420 gr arrow complete with chinese lighted nock. had very respectable 60 yd groups with my preceding ki bow and all my xbows befoe these two ki rigs. on a hunch, i took one of the ki hyperlites which i had never used before due to being too light, imho. screwed in an old leftover rusted 147gr traditional fieldpoint and never looked back. shrunk my 60 yd groups back down to about a rested 2 to 3 inches, which was what i had been used to for years now. 150 gr mechanicals are not that easy to find, but ki started marketing theirs last summer and they went to the woods with me and the rival x. the extra 50 gr up front didn't hurt my chrono's feelings much.....maybe high 380's to 390 and pretty quiet too for that speed! sorry for being longwinded but that was my experience late last summer. i don't like hunting without confidence in my equipment, especially in my old age!!!!! your video brought back fond memories of a bow setup i don't have to worry on these coming weeks.....unless it blows up on me while checking my zero in a few weeks!!!!!

This is what I love about you guys and this sport. You/we are always helping each other with problems and thus improving the sport. Keep it up.

Just purchased an X1 after watching your videos. I made your recommended changes to the Hypr bolts as well as fletching up some Zombie Slayers I had. Both sets are within a couple grains of 350 without heads. The bow is accurate (sub 1" groups at 40 yds) so far), but I'm only getting speeds of just over 300 fps using 125 grain field points if the scope speed is to be believed. Plenty fast enough to kill a deer, but way off of the speeds you saw. Any thoughts on speeding it up or don't worry about it?

Good looking crossbow. I’m seriously thibking about the Swat X1. Question, have you ever had limb problems with the X1?

Will the tactacam solar panel fit browning cell cam?

None of these damn xguns belong in archery season. The only reason they are is because of crooked politicians buying into crossbow companies. It is insider trading at its finest. If you are able bodied and don't have the time to learn to shoot a vertical bow, tough. You are not entitled to the special archery season. They are 50 yards guns. Able bodied grown men singing their virtues is sickening. My 12 year old daughter was proficient enough to hunt with our crossbow within an hour of the first time she fired it. We have a crossgun for the kids and as a backup for 76 year old father that has had two rotator cuff surgeries. He hasn't shot the xgun since his shoulders healed. He does everything he can not completely cross over to the dark side.

i already had the lethal 405 and really liked it, so after watching your videos on the Vital 430 i bought one, I am very impressed with the trigger, and how it shoots. Thanks for the info

Ranch fairy does not know shit from shine about crossbows have any clue why he is even talking on this matter hell if up to him crossbow will still be at 300’fps

Do xbows have a harder time accurately shooting fixed blades than compound bows? If so, why?

Matt, great review, thanks for sharing.

Vital x 430 makes another appearance over the Swat x1? What am i to think about that sir? New favorite crossbow?

While arrow flight is important,but how consistently they fly with each other. I would try a 12 pack and see how consistently they are with each other.???

You could just sight it in and go hunt.

Hey Matt! I have a guy that builds custom arrows and bolts and does an amazing job. I was using Serious and had to make the switch. Dude is legit!

Good video, I fully agree with some points and half agree with others

Matt did you check the FOC with the Magnus attached? I’ve looked at these many times but I do like a heavier bolt. Great review & recommendations to Sanlida Also what fletching jig do you use?

With the Swat x1 would the best vane be in the up position?

God bless you all at this delicate time!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
