Excellent job explaining how to use this sight. I really like mine, but my goodness was it a royal pain in the butt to get those little indicator needles in right place
Annnndd Elite has 1000% ghosted me a few other guys despite all our efforts to show we want to work with them so I’m just going to keep messing around with bows and having fun 💪🏼
So it’s not a fixed broadhead over mechanical. For me it’s what the job requires. If I go buffalo hunting or giraffe/hippo hunting then im going fixed blade all the way but otherwise all plains game in Africa with a decent arrow weight is soft
@@outdoorswithtravis I'm asking why the mechanical. I hear good things about sevr but what do I gain over a fixed? Is the flight better? Can you get more distance? What's the advantage?
@@SavagelandHuntingI’d say more forgiving in wind and stuff cause if you tune a fixed right ofc it’ll be accurate but smaller profile exposed to wind means less chance of a change in flight path over longer distances and over just a solid broadhead
1. You clearly haven’t hunted africa on foot, I don’t sit in tree stands or cozy hides I walk, so if a buck offers a shot at 75 yards I’m going to take it. 2. You don’t get iron sights for a crossbow, so you risk injuring the animal if you aren’t accurate. 3. If you have the money to break 30 dollar bolts while learning to instinctively shot a cross you can definitely go ahead and remove the scope😂 4. I don’t hunt with crossbows ever, never have and never will. I just do reviews and help guys with buying decisions 🙏🏼🙏🏼
CBE makes a picatinny clamp that fits your sight brother. You should check it out. I’ve been using it on my Ventum Pro 33 for the past couple of years and it’s a rock solid connection.
@@outdoorswithtravis Oh wow! That should be exciting. Please post some videos of your hunt. I just had a knee replacement the other day, so I’ll have to live vicariously through other’s hunting trip videos until I can fully recover from the surgery.
It was a spine issue, we figured it out. Spine was way too stiff but we were waiting for our Easton shipment. We tried but I think we always knew it was gonna be an issue
Id say you have a 100 spine and probably no way to align the spine either as you have two arrrow spines inside each other. Penetration is not your problem 😅
Thanks so much my brother, really appreciate the support man🙏🏼🔥 Sorry for taking so long to reply, I took a week break to catch a breathe and now we back 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Three things that come to mind with such a heavy arrow ! A quitter bow and much less shock to the limbs ! As long as you know your distance and pin setting out to 35 yards the kinetic energy is your best friend when going through bone !
What cams were on the bows? Doesn't that matter. I know the PSE has different cam options that change speed, feel, etc. Is that true for the other bows as well? Seems like a noteworthy metric.
Very very true🙏🏼 will keep it in mind for our next bow battle thank you for that 🙏🏼🔥 Sorry for taking so long to reply, I took a week break to catch a breathe and now we back 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow wow wow this flirting needs to stop buddy, you have someone I have someone, I don’t think this is couture 😳 😂😂jokes aside thanks so much guys, loving your videos, loving how much content you putting out. You inspiring us little guys 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Sorry for taking so long to reply, I took a week break to catch a breathe and now we back 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
100% busy building myself a Alpha X for a Botswana hunt - Sorry for taking so long to reply, I took a week break to catch a breathe and now we back 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@outdoorswithtravis man I shoot Xpedition. I have a Smoke & Xscape. The Smoke is unreal smooth for a speed bow, but I love all bows, except maybe Mathews I’m not crazy about. I’d love to get me a Hoyt Alpha x or rx-8. Elites are top of my list too !
i've been using the 2.0's for a few years. They never fail. But I've moved on to the single bevel ironwills. I used a magnus stinger non mech for years and never let me down.
As a point of conversation why do you use a mechanical head? I also believe the Sevr design is as good as it’s going to be for function and reliability. Even the original design by the Ulmer brothers worked great for my son. I know you can and have taken game at extended distances partly because these heads fly so well. In all my years I have never used any mechanical head. I prefer smaller fixed blade heads. Back in the day there wasn’t any mechanical heads and with my continued success why change? On a good day I have shot my fixed blade heads, Magnus Black Hornets, inside a 5” group at 80 yards. Showing me they will hit behind the pin. Now I won’t shoot a game animal past 40 yards because of the inherent possibility of it moving. Point is a fixed blade head in itself will not fail is my thoughts on which head to use. I surely enjoy your videos.👍👍
Honestly it’s partly who I was trained by partly because I have never had a mechanical fail me. I choose between mechanical and fixed based on the task at hand. Hippo/ Buffalo/ Giraffe I would only shoot with fixed blade All other plains game in Africa with a decent weighted arrow are actually soft animals.
Looking forward to see these arrows at work. Remember they are for hunting and you need the momentum at longer distances - especially for broad mechanicals. The lighter you go the more you lose momentum at distance. No good reaching the animal with enough energy to wound. How much more do you think a 570 gr arrow will drop compared to a 500gr arrow - at 60 yrds? There's a video for you - 450, 500 and 550 gr arrows shot at 20m, 40m and 60m and lets compare the drop. Sight them in for each arrow weight and misjudge distance - shoot at 35m and 45m when using 40m pin.
1000% - they worked perfectly I can’t wait to show what it did🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Sorry for taking so long to reply, I took a week break to catch a breathe and now we back 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
