Dude! I believe I’d go back where I got it and demand that hat. Whoever built that got your hat. lol.

It can be dangerous, for sure. They are both great companies and great crossbows. Always a tough choice.

Where’s the instruction ignorant? Opinions on crossbow use is one thing but how they operate is not.

There are different versions of the acuslide. The models with the shorter “collar” require two backwinds then another with the button pushed in. The newer gen with the longer collar require 1.5 backwinds.

I restring those Horton Havocs every year. I’m amazed how long those last. It’s a tank. Thanks for watching.

@@TrinityWild it is,a Tank,Bernard himself is on my Social media page, 100 grn buzz cut, 18 inch Zombie slayer, shoots spot on at 60 yrds=priceless..

You will love that R10X, solid choice. I’ve got a 4th video I’ll have ready soon. Maintaining and troubleshooting will be the last one. Thanks so much for watching.

Dang, that’s a really good deal. I think you will really enjoy that model. Thanks for watching a good luck this year.

It is pricey for sure. Only reason I have one is because that’s kind of what I do. lol.

You just made my day. That kind of feedback is exactly why I wanted to do these videos. Thanks so much for watching and let me know how your season goes.

Almost the same crossbow. The R5X has a silent crank, that’s about the only difference. If they discontinue the R5X it’s just because they are upgrading it to a different model. It’s a very solid performer.

That’s so great to hear. That’s why I made the video. To be honest that’s why I started the whole channel. So glad to know it helped. Thanks for watching.

People always come in and just want to try something different. Not sure why you want to change what’s working.

Absolutely. Face the issue head on and be honest. As many as I’ve sold there has still only been 1 to come in with limb issues.

I may send some with Patrick to check next time I see him. Thank you though.

I do not disagree. I have fewer problems out of Mission crossbows than any other.

Yup And due to its “ unique” some say unneccessary sizing. There aren’t any accessories or parts for them.

They just put accessories on their website. Vanes and such. I guess you will only be able to get it from them. Imagine that. lol

That’s what they are hoping. I can’t imagine they aren’t great arrows but my match grade Axis 4mm are pretty great too.

Is there away of contacting you

That’s true. Gotta make that first shot count.

Yep, it’s tough to get that broadhead out. That one in the video is still stuck. Lol

@@TrinityWild the morrell High Roller with broadheads is not as easy to get out as FPs with the BSE500 but it looks far easier than the BS foam that i've seen videos of folks using with BHs . i have a barnett drt 405 crossbow and i only shoot my HR to confirm BH sight in and the weight makes it nice for coming back after the hunt . BHs will tear up any target over time . my BSE500/HR combo works great for me . but everything isn't for everybody .....

Are you looking for how much saddle weighs or all the accessories? But yes, it’s kind of hard to find info about them.

Thank you so much. And thanks for watching.

I am the better bow shop. lol. This was one a guy brought in and I wanted to show people what to look for after their bow has sat up since last season.

I’ve done several red/black with a grey pinstripe, it looks really good.

@@TrinityWild i have another suggestion, Carolina blue, grey, and white

@@TrinityWild or another option would be the ole red, white, and blue 🇺🇸

@@jmceason4952that would look incredible. Never done one of those.

@@jmceason4952our local high school has red, white and blue colors so I’ve done that several times. Looks really sharp.

They do it right for sure.

That’s a great way to look at building a company. You are very blessed to be at a place that.

The Megameats have been our most popular broadhead over the last couple of years. Make sure you use the red collars on them. The blues are for a compound bow. The HDX are good ones for sure. I’ve been a Muzzy fan for many years.

It’s a good problem to have. Lol. When I sell a hundred of them they have no problem helping me out.

Absolutely agree. Best (barely over) $1000 crossbow out there.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I’ve been working on #4 for about a month. People bring new ones in every day so I’m getting lots of good content. lol.

Dude! That’s some great information I really appreciate that. I think that Ironman is probably better suited as a crossbow target. You don’t shoot it nearly as much so it would last forever. We had the Spiderweb here for years and it worked great. In your situation as much as you shoot I think that would be a great choice. Thanks again for watching and your analysis.

That’s so awesome to hear. I’m glad I could help. Thanks for watching and Keep me posted on how it works out.

It is a good one.

I do. I started with the 29.5 but I just like the way the 33 feels better. It feels like home. Lol

@TrinityWild you looked real excited with that hoyt.. so I was wondering lol

@@shod2652when Hoyt gives you a bow, you get excited. Plus I changed and went back with the Kuiu on that one.

10 years if you’re lucky. Lol. I used to say anything over 350 you are just showing off. I’ve changed that to 400 though.

Stuck between the wicked ridge m70 or the tenpoint titan m1…any suggestions

@@BwififnsI think if it’s going to be your main hunting tool I’d go with the M1. If you just shoot the crossbow for part of the season then grab the gun for the rest then the WR is the one I would suggest. Good luck this year and thanks for watching.

@@MonkeyTime-kq1bs

I appreciate the advice and you answered my question. Thanks

Good to know. I hadn’t checked anywhere yet. Thank you.

Definitely a nice setup got to check it out before it was available for purchase at my buddy's place

@@leemarkley3323I really like it. Hopefully I’ll have my display up tomorrow.

That’s awesome. That Turbo lineup has always been a solid one for Tenpoint. Took me way past my second time out to get my first deer. lol. Nice job.

I’ve got the 29X too. I feel like the consistency across the lineup is a little better with the Ravins. I still say these 500 FPS crossbows just can’t hold up to the power they generate. Example, I can swing a golf club as fast as Tiger Woods, but I have no idea where the ball is going. 450 is all I’ll ever need.

@@TrinityWild that is all I will ever need to

Thank you. And thanks for watching.

Most shops can reserve the center serving for you. The problem is most don’t have a string jig where you can put the string under tension which is how they are made originally. So they can reserve it but it typically won’t last very well.

As a dealer I will bend over backwards to get warranty work done for my customers. Tenpoint is usually very helpful. And I believe at 500 + FPS the engineering on these crossbows has out paced the components. It’s difficult to get them to hold up at that massive amount of power being stored in the limbs and cables.

Just like with a bow you want the strings to settle. That’s great advice. Thanks

Again, just like a bow. Heavier bow, heavier rifle or a heavier crossbow are much easier to hold on target. Thanks for watching.

You can’t really twist these Ravin cables. But you are correct, you don’t ever want it to get that bad. I’m surprised he hadn’t already blown it apart.

@@TrinityWild you most definitely can twist the cables and the string as well. I do it all the time to tweak everything just right so I can get the most out of my crossbow .You just can’t twist the cables as many times as you came the string. A lot of these shops that will put new string and cables on have no idea how to time these bows.

@@charlesbeaver5665I think some places don’t even know you have to get cams timed on a crossbow. But those Ravin cables won’t twist more than a time or two. Plus I would only do that when installing them. There was no way twisting cables was going to fix this one. lol

We have it for $359.

That thing is so cool. I’d love to see the grizzly.

@@TrinityWild I know right! It’s soo cool how it’s on the tree trunk!

You could, but this is way cooler.

Nope, I reckon not. Lol

amzn.to/3Yux4Fh This is a small Delta McKenzie bag that you use just to shoot into to de-cock your crossbow. You can keep it behind your shooting house or in the back of the truck. If you want a really good target just for shooting and sighting in check out the Big Shot that I did a video on a few months ago. My granddaughter pulls out the bolt with 2 fingers. Hope you enjoy your Ravin, they are pretty incredible. Thanks for watching.
