It was a pleasure having you and Genevieve at the house Rich! We will have to do it again sometime for sure! The OG was cool to shoot. Piece of crossbow history right there!
I have a lethal 405 that bangs out x rings at 70 yards with the cheap bolts that came with it. It might bust a limb in a few years but I’m very happy with the performance at this point.
This is the second time I’ve seen you guys shoot out of that garage. Makes me cringe. You have zero peripheral. Unlikely anyone will step out if you know who’s in the vicinity. But still really dumb, no? This is an easy safety issue to rectify, just move forward (out of garage) but still in its shade.
where did you get that cover for the oracle?
Great great videos especially for us novice crossbow hunter's just getting into crossbows Any thoghts on Killer Instinct crossbows durability or any idea how good Killer Instinct crossbow company's customer service reputation is? There was no two single more important reasons I spent big $$$ buying Excalibur crossbows then thier well established reputation for making near bomb proof crossbows and thier rep for excellent CS the fact you do not need a press to work on Excalibur crossbows sold me on them
PEASE HELP! I just picked up one of these Killer Instinct Vital X crossbows last week and looking to shoot some heavy arrows with it. I recently subscribed to your channel and have been enjoying your videos very much. I ordered some 251 Swhacker broadheads and Bought some 20” Gold Tip NITRO 500 but now I’m having trouble finding illuminated nocks to fit the .272 ID that these arrows have! Should I switch them out for the 425 Ballistics or something else altogether? I would really like to use a heavy weight for sound, efficiency and to protect the bow limbs.
Im glad you did a video on this xbow, your impressions on it are appreciated, I just bought the KI vital X up here in Canada without looking up reviews so its nice hearing confirmation on my choice. The compact size really caught my eye and the price (599 canadian) was to good to walk away from, if all goes well tomorrow i may go sight it in. I havent fully decided if I'll be selling my CP sniper elite 370 or keeping it as a back-up lol thanks for your insights, cheers.
I love those tru glo broad heads I got some from a place half off and there super accurate I love your videos by the way talked to you a while back on FB but keep making great videos
You are a coward shooting inocent animals.
I like the. Grip my Vital X did not have the grip would like to have one like it
I have the KI 415 ripper i shoot 400 grain bolts and i love it. After 4 seasons of harvesting deer i found a spot on the limb that was splintered took it to my local dealer and they replaced limbs strings and cable for free because of the warranty. My local dealer told me i got a good crossbow from them but that he had been geting alot of warranty work from the new ones. Guess its like anything else you get good ones and bad ones but i do enjoy shooting mine.
Hey Rick do you go over there and do anymore pig hunting at the ranch I would like to know the next time you set that up I would like to come to that I think it would be pretty cool to meet you and your daughter Don
A good video, the author has a good comfortable speaking style.
Hey Rick I'm at vital X crossbow you shot were did your buddy get that grip on there that doesn't look like the grip that comes with the crossbow
I think this one is illegal in NY still..
I have a Barnett Wildcat but I don’t think they make the strings anymore for them, are there any crossbow replacement strings that are just based on length instead of crossbow model?
Hello Oneeyedarcher and Rich, question, do you fine the safeties on the KI bows a little too loud, especially for hunting? My Diesel X is pretty stiff and loud even after oiling it,also did you notice any downward pressure on the string against the rail?
What's all this stuff about cock width and un cock? And also roping cock? Uncock must be pervert zombie stuff! Is it something to do about un-cocking zombies?
