It be interesting to run this with bolts with 50-120 grain brass inserts maybe a collar and a 125-150 grain sevr broadhead. Or a reaper ect. Even at 480-525 grains you'll still be rocking well over 410 fps prob closer to 430. On the 480 grain end.
No man everyday you need to shoot to be accurate. I shoot 40 arrows a day, night, sun, rain, or snow I'm shooting. I shoot at a 1 inch dot starting at 15 yards an walk back to 80 in my yard
Hey yall great video. Did you feel the need to have to put an anchor with ratchet strap, or any other sort of stabilizing mechanism, to sturdy the blind in case of high winds or if your on uneven ground?
The Viper S400 also has the dry fire inhibitor and unfortunately I found out the hard way that it does it’s job. I got distracted while shooting in my back field a few weeks ago and forgot to load a bolt. I didn’t realize it until I fired it and something didn’t sound right. I realized what I had done and was sick to my stomach. When I looked I found that the string hadn’t gone anywhere. It did bend the pins that stop the string though. I’m more than happy to pay for replacement of those instead of an entire new bow.
The adjustment is finer than 19 thousands (.0019) of an inch as you state at 1:17, that would be trash. it's actually 19 ten thousandths of an inch or .0019
Nothing happens. I’ve shot it in pouring rain and snow. The sight is a tank. The pin brightness is adjustable and the sight doesn’t fog up. Sight picture is clearer than any other sight I’ve ever shot 👍🏾
After further thought, another thing to keep in mind here is that the categorization of hunters into crossbow hunters, vertical bow hunters, and gun hunters is itself a bit artificial, at least when it comes to motivations. I got started bowhunting years ago in PA simply because I loved hunting. Bowhunting simply allowed me to do it for a greater portion of the year. In other words, it wasn’t the love of the bow that got me into it. Yes, I learned to love shooting the bow, but I and others are first and foremost hunters. And the most efficient weapon I’m allowed to use in any given season is what I’m going to use. There are LOADS of hunters who fall into that camp. A great many of the guys in the woods in archery season with their bows will be there again in gun season with their rifles. Again, to each his own, as long as it’s legal and ethical.
@Mr. Longwell Thank you for your post! In a world where everyone seems so divided, the last place such an attitude is needed is in the world of hunting. We need more hunters not less. I will go out on a limb and say something that may not be popular. There is a minority group of vertical bow hunters that are just bad. This group is not interested in facts or even truth. They are not above passing judgment, labeling or even name calling those who don’t do things they way they think it should be done. That group does not care about hunting, they care about themselves. They do more to alienate hunters and degrade the sport than anything else. They whinnied and complained when compound bows were introduced. They presented a self righteous attitude, with a belief that they were somehow better, or more true to the sport and traditions. This gave them all the license they needed to judge themselves as standing on higher ground and criticizing anyone they chose who did not subscribe to doing things their way. Now their clones are trying to do the same things to those that hunt with crossbows. I guess history does repeat itself. Especially if there are those that learn nothing from it.
Years ago at the Montana Bowhunter's Association convention in Missoula, I had the privilege of sitting at the same table as Judd Cooney and Dwight Schuh. Judd was a noted traditional bowhunter, and also happened to be guiding at the time, and he related a story about a bowhunter who called him wanting to enlist his services as a guide. But the guy was shooting a compound and asked Judd if he'd guide him anyway. Judd's reply was priceless. He said to the guy, "Well, you're a bowhunter, aren't you?" Of course the guy said yes. And then Judd said, "Then of course you're welcome at my camp." That generous attitude impressed me then and it still does. I've hunted with longbows, compounds, and as of a few years ago, a crossbow. I'm the same guy, and I still hunt the same way. But I've been saddened by the animosity and snobbery some level against crossbow hunters. We're all bowhunters. Let's quit the animosity and divisiveness and adopt a more generous attitude! Our sport and hunting heritage deserves no less. Thanks Christian and Mark, for this episode, and the accompanying article in the magazine!
another question does the"TIT-COYO 20 22 Inch Crossbow Bolts and Crossbow Broadheads Set Carbon Crossbow Arrows for Hunting and Outdoor Practice, 12pcs Arrows 12pcs Broadheads(24 Pack)" works for this crossbow ?
i have a question related with the arrows, are they come ready to shot them, or i have to add the "TenPoint Crossbow Arrow Practice Point, 100-Grain" on each arrow ?
Cost to damn much !! Can't afford the crossbow that the co. makes are way to high price !! Centerpoint crossbow is a better deal !! Not to prices on center point cross bow !! If the company that make the crossbow would bring the price down maybe people can afford to buy it !!!!! Such as 10 pointer crossbow !!!!
I have the Tenpoint Havoc RS440. The “ New “ Flatline 460 is built off the same platform, but a lot of new features that make this crossbow an absolute killer! I love how it is compact, quiet and dead on accurate! The strut system and speeds at 460 will make this crossbow one heck of a hunting machine! Got to get one !
Weighs 5lbs but it's a mtr wide and half the speed , I carried my nitro rdx for a couple of 15klm round trips smashing red stags at 80 mtrs with complete pass throughs and pin point accuracy, don't play the weight game
Nice crossbow. The over 11-pound actual weight is quite a bit more than the weight they advertise which is bare bow weight. Also they don't include the length of the stirrup which makes it longer than the Ravins R29X. Can't afford one but if I could I would give her a try for sure,
