Quick look at the Walmart Special Center point Patriot 425 crossbow package. The package comes with crossbow scope, two blaze vane 20" bolts, rope cocker, four bolt quiver, and crank cocker.
Dang the 425 is sweet, I just picked up the Centerpoint Sniper Elite 385 at Blain's last week on clearance for $199.99, I got a hell of a deal on it from $375.00..It was all set up except for the scope being put on, I can't wait to fire it..Good luck on your hunting trips and great video..👍😁
i think i paid 350 dollars for mine on sale from walmart, i normally use a vertical compound bow for hunting but at that price you can't beat it! i have a small pop up blind when I'm not hunting from a tree stand that's why i bought it, only problem i have is the bolts messing up the fletchings from burrying themselves too deep in my target.
I shoot the factory center point that came with it and I also shoot carbon x bolt. Both are 20" bolts. The x bolts have a little long vane. I think a 3" compared to the 2" on the center point ones. They both shoot amazing out to 30 yards it's nothing to have the fletchings touching
Thanks for the video- what do you think are the best bolts for this powerhouse? i have the same crossbow but I'm leaning towards shooting something heavier like in the 500 grain range
I've heard good things about the carbon Xpress piledriver bolts. I've actually been thinking of trying them in mine. They are a heavier bolt, I think the 20" weighs in around 442 grain. Let me know what you decide on. Thanks for the comment.
@@931livin8 well, since my last reply, I have found that Black Eagle Executioners with a 150 grain tip and a nocturnal lighted nock is the best FOC and weight for this powerhouse crossbow
Any crossbow case that fits those measurements should work. (12x6x31). I wouldn't go any bigger than an inch or 2 from those that way it doesn't take up a lot of space that isn't needed.
If you use the cocking crank it will break the stock off and center point will not stand behind their warranty they will not even return your phone call and you get stuck with a broken $400 crossbow
Wow that's not very good customer service. I used the cocking device once or twice then I just shortened the cocking rope. After doing that it wasn't bad at all to cock. That's good information to know. Thanks for the comment
Sir. What center point crossbow do you have that broke the stock off. I have all the center point crossbows with cranks I had no problem with center point crossbows. I get a new one every time they come out with one and after I take a buck and max out my 3 doe tags with the bow I hang it up and buy a new one. That's the AR style stock you shouldn't have any problem with it. I love center point crossbows and carbon express and Barnett crossbows that's all I mess with and own. I had so many I started selling some for a hundred dollars each just to make room for new ones. I even have the PSE copperhead viper crossbow 150 lb draw no problem took deer with it also. So I'm curious why and how this happened to your bow. I mean all mine are different poundage bows with these cranks and I'm still using them.
I noticed that you posted this 3 months ago which was around the fall season. I would assume that fall is the busiest season for any bow company. with that said, my stock did break in January 2023 with using the crank and it was all my own fault because I was not using it properly. But guess what; I called CP and had the best customer service a guy could have and they shipped me the new parts for FREE! So please don't say that they don't stand behind their warranty when they do!! Thanks
@@kurtglo the problem with the crossbow we have is where the metal tube of the stock bolts onto the crossbow the composite material was defective it had an air bubble in it when they poured it into the mold making it weak and that whole piece broke off when we call they took our information and said the would call us back in two days they didn't and we tried to call them back several times and they wouldn't answer the phone so I'm glad you got through and your issue was resolved good luck with the new parts stay safe
I just bought this patriot and I’m replacing my xp 350 with it. Well sending the xp in for a restring before rut and didn’t want to be down and out but if it performs well the XP might be the new back up
I don't think you can go wrong with any of those. Crossbows are a lot better than they were just 10 years ago. The only issues I read are with limbs but a lot of it is caused from too light of a bolt.
Use a heavy bolt with killer instinct or youl be without a bow .. I'm telling you now...they can NOT and we're NOT intended for light bolts... Easton fmj crossbow bolts are the way to go with fast xbows such as these unless you wanna go all out adding inserts and all that stuff for the same outcome . Half dozen of Easton FMJs are around 80 bucks. And they hit like sledgehammers on our past 30 yards. And they stack up nice
Killer instinct aren't bad bows my friend has the killer instinct ripper 415 that thing hits fast and really hard I was going to pick some different ones up to collect them. I just don't like the fps it says 415 fps it doesn't do it. It says 425 doesn't do it. It's way under that have to use chronograph and find bolts that will get you up to that fps or closer then it does. The 415 came in at 390 fps I think with chronograph testing which still will kill still fast we swapped out different bolts to get it up close to there claim fps. But my friend was happy with the fps and left it that way. Hey he got a twelve point buck 3 days after opening day of archery this year with that bow at 63 yards with the killer instinct valuable speed ring setup witch shoots out to a 100 yards with no problem and accurate so regardless of fps you should be happy with the killer instinct bows.
