@@mikedixon17 it only gets my platform to 20’ I’m short lol 😂. Imma try 4 soon with a single aider and see how high that gets me. I like hunting 20-24 at my base
My go-to has been the Assault hand climber. I’d like to see them make the same model in this material even if it only shaves a pound or two. I also have the .5 with Tetherd Sticks. Great option. Climbers are great if you know of THE tree and its strait. Otherwise IMO, you’re better off with sticks and a platform or a Saddle….. One thing I’d suggest is a lineman tether in the event you go ass over tea kettle backwards….and a sharp pocket knife &/or plan to cut free…….
I've got one question and one question only if you're all about wanting to hunt to be able to get a deer and you've got a raven crossbow why are you messing with that compound bow you can clearly see you can shoot the raven a lot better and that's a win-win all the way around for you and the deer
@@donwilson350 great question. First I am very passionate about archery. I absolutely love bows and shooting them. But as I get older it’s becoming harder, both physically and just finding the time to shoot due to family responsibilities. However, not all states allow use of the Ravin. Massachusetts and New York are two reason I must continue to use the Mathews compound. That’s why a Broadhead like this 1.5 hybrid is great since it works amazing on both. I really only choose the ravin out of state because so many times on trips I’ve had great bucks hang up at 60-80 yards. A shot I deff don’t want to do with the Mathews but it’s a shot the ravin with a proper rest can make all day. But the ravin is easier so it does rob some excitement and reward from the hunt compared to harvesting the same great buck with the compound. But going home empty handed is clearly not an option if it can be avoided especially on a trip with a 12 hour drive.
Sorry to hear that man I don't hunt and I don't live in one of those states that won't allow you to use a crossbow I live in Michigan and I am a truck driver I used to use compound bows for years but with my job I am unable to be able to practice like I would like to so I've got a couple of Ravin crossbows myself and I absolutely love them I could never think about going back to a compound because it's still a bow in my opinion you still have to know your yardages and there's really not a whole lot of advantages over a compound with a crossbow like everybody seems to think it's still you got to know your yardage or you're going to miss but but I really love the crossbows and it keeps me in the field
@@donwilson350 exactly, I love my bow, but I also really love my ravin too! I don’t love all crossbows tho just for the simple fact they aren’t all as consistent and accurate as the ravins. I definitely look at crossbows as “bows” fitting of the archery classification and I still call bolts arrows refusing to call them bolts cause I hate the separation people put between bows and xbows. We should deff all support each other regardless of the weapon afield we personally choose to use. Cause at the end of the day we are all still just sitting in a tree, enjoying the outdoors, waiting on the same thing.
I practice off both shoulders to increase my options. deff give it a try next time your out shooting I deff this you will find it fun. watch this video too i linked here from outdoor life its short ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R_ja_Py_epU.htmlsi=C-Y_dNPAEvq81iJL
@@derekbrock9814 might be that pic was circulating all over the Internet. I don’t know anyone with the issue even though so many of my buddies own the lift. Is your bow fixed and 100% now
I hope, I had three crack on my first lift after a month then as soon as they replaced one another would crack within a day then we swapped it out for a new one thinking maybe it was just that bow and one of them cracked. That one cracked literally two or three days after the letter came out and on that one they changed all 8 limbs and was there in 2 days. The first three on the first bow they would just send 4 to replace on either top or bottom which ever side cracked. It’s been alright for the past 3-4 weeks now but it definitely has me a little worried because it keeps happening, but I did take precautionary measures and bought a rx8 😂 now I have two great bows and if one goes down I don’t have to worry about not getting to hunt😉
@@derekbrock9814 yeah at first it sounds like they were changing them with the original limbs and praying but sounds like now they fixed the issue and are producing new limbs that definitely don’t have the issue. I’d be very upset if I had to fix it multiple times
It sure makes it easy to have trust issues with it after the luck I have had with it. Still have the bow and still going to continue to use it and see if it will hold up.
@@derekbrock9814 I had zero issues with mine knock on wood. And been hunting with it since last November. I heard it’s more cosmetics than functional that it won’t blow up since it’s just and outer layer issue. Did your bow show confirm that?
Going to R100 Pennsylvania, can't wait. I've been to TAC events, but this will be a nice change of pace, and hopefully cheaper (no 89 yard bombs to hit a bobcat between trees haha).
@@THEWOODLANDPURSUIT what do you like about the lone wolf? I definitely not interested in saddle hunting. But if it works well for bow hunting....I'm all ears
@@kevinellington1962 I’m bias and love climbers. Starting having to make mine own back in the 80s. Now we are blessed with so many different brands. Like your summit is great. Totally reliable, safe, and comfy. But it’s kinda a tank. Bulky to travel with especially a car, plus it’s heavier and bulky as well getting in the woods. If your only going 100-200 yards deep no worries but if your going back a mile or more now it’s more of an issue. I love how this one folds up razor thin, with the straps it’s in 13 pounds, and it don’t bang on everything walking in and out. I remember my achilles heel catching a tooth from my summit every once in a while, walking in and out. Now you mention saddles. I used them exclusively last year. But this year I’m back to a climber. I like saddles but I’m going retro with a stand upgrade and vibing me this year. However, this crossover climber is definitely not a summit! Size And comfort, or reduced to achieve its ultra lightweight and compactness. But that don’t mean anything in the hands of a skilled hunter. Back in the 80s most stands didn’t have seats. We stood the entire hunt. So I’m not looking for a love seat in a tree. The fact I even have a seat is a plus. We didn’t have hand climbers either so win win. This paired with a saddle or the new ghost harness can be hunted like a saddle stick and platform set up. And that is my personal huge benefit and selling point. Like on a saddle I want to put the tree between me and the animal. That position conceals me while also giving me the absolute best position to self film from. However, I need the ghost harness or a saddle to do it safely. A 5 point harness would not be best and maybe just plain out not work. But think of it this way, if your handy and wrench on stuff, how many Philip heads screwdrivers do you have? I have a ton. Same size different lengths, different sizes, Same length. you need to right tool for the job. That’s what this stand is. It’s another tool to make you a better hunter in an extreme and aggressive hunting style. It won’t work in every situation, I might need my sticks and saddle in some spots. But this stand is like everything lone wolf, it’s the highest quality and bad ass! If it works for you great, if not, even lone wolf knows that carrying other options to make you the best hunter and as successful as humanly possible.
“Ya don’t wanna lose a nut” 😂😂😂 hahahahaha. Damn right! I looked at this as I just offered the .75 and waist belt. Think I’m gonna stick with my black diamond RC harness because I don’t saddle hunt and for the $300, it wouldn’t be worth it to me. Still a decent harness because of how slick it is compared to a normal r/c harness
@@dionysis84 yes sir! Definitely fail your style and what works for you first. This works for me mainly due to the bridge it’s has. Love that since it will be essential in allowing me to safely get into a reverse position to self film. The .75 is very sweet! Good luck in it this fall!
Slack in the system you may fall only two or three feet but falling is falling the sudden stop and being slammed in to the tree and tree stand take it from someone who has been there no slack is safer
@@lewismcclain4668 I hear that! But better than not wearing one and hitting the ground. I’ve never worn a harness in a climber and I’ve been hunting them since my dad showed me how to build my own climbers in 1985! So this is definitely a step in the right direction.
So after you swapped strings did you put it on a draw board to check timing? I’m waiting on my strings to come in than I plan on swapping them out. But I don’t have a draw board yet.
watch the v3x video here it shows the entire process so you have an idea what needed. this video i swap the strings, tune it, paper tune t, and shoot a dow the next day with it
thank you! i have the VT 2024 tac on my channel too if ya wanta check it out too. Its deff a great event, tons of fun, and worth your time. just bring plenty of arrows and get set up to send those possible 100-150 yard bombs lol. If we cross paths stop me and we can send some together!!
Nice video. What target is the best for a 500 fps crossbow? I want something that will keep the fletching from burying up in the target but still be able to pull the bolt out easily.
@@reddelicious498 the rinehart xbow bag target is what I use when shooting field points and I use the rinehart rhino block with broadheads. Mines shooting 460ish fps
Just to clarify, I think you said in your video that the warranty is for a year and will extend/pass down to secondhand buyers. The warranty is, in fact, according to the letter lifetime for all owners, original or secondhand. I appreciate your videos.
@@toddzoro9831 oops I did I’m sorry about that. It is indeed a lifetime warranty as the letter stated, slip of the tongue. Thank you for pointing that out. And thank you for your support! I’ve since addressed that slip it in the videos description
And they recently extended the warranty to include whoever buys the bow down the line. That's good that they're standing behind their product. My V3X did it aswell. They sorted me out without any fuss.
I went to Wildline ropes that doesn't need an ascender or a tender it's built into the knot they use . I used it all last year and will never use anything else worked perfectly
Just got my 33” Lift only a month ago. Not a lot of free time to dial it in and only flung about 100 arrows through it, but will be paying more attention to these limbs now. If they do crack, still keeping this bow.
@@libertyoak4925 in my opinion it’s the best bow out there right now. I don’t know a single person with this issue and sooo many folks I know have the lift
@@brockpeck7073 I think they can cause mines on 70 with no issues. Not many of them are doing this it’s just a few, I deff haven’t seen one personally and everyone here seems to be shooting a lift
I have been shooting my lift since November las year , I did pre ordered so I got one of the first ones and it have 80# mods at 30 DL and haven’t had any issues with it !!
The reason why I still use an ascender is because it can be removed easily and positioned anywhere on the line. Can you position the buzzard prusik tender anywhere you want or do you have to feed all the line through?
@@THEWOODLANDPURSUIT i am not thinking about the know but the plastic piece that pushes the prusik. Does it clip or do you need to feed all your line through?
