The actual bolt speed is anywhere from 208- 237 f.p.s. I measured approx 237 fps average and somebody else more accurately measured 208 fps. Some web sites advertise this exact same crossbow at 280 f.p.s. instead of 310 fps. Sportsmans Guide should actually measure it instead of just taking the manufacturer numbers at face value.
It would be 310 f.p.s if it had a longer power stroke or was a compound instead of recurve. It is a great bow and a great value. I love it and recommend it to anyone
It is conforting to know, that every vid and topic has at least one viewer asking the same as I would... is it kickass against zombies? =D Taking it a bit more seriously, does anyone with reliable hunting skills recommend this one for hunting in accuracy and #power?
the jaguar 175lb i bought nearly freakin killed me! Instead of the bolt firing out it flipped upwards allmost going thru my neck..it shatterd into 3 pieces sending shrapnel everywhere. also the string kept turning around the notches. the kick from it was like the back of my head being slapped.Very powerfull ..but cheap and dangerous!
150lb is £60 at Bowsports at the mo for those of you in the UK. Great little crossbow, sure there are much better ones out there but you'd have to spend far more money to get one. Oh and says 210fps on the box mine came in!
150lb is £60 at Bowsports at the mo for those of you in the UK. Great little crossbow, sure there are much better ones out there but you'd have to spend far more money to get one.
There's no way 150lb recurve produces 310 fps...Everyone of sportmanguide's crossbow adds say they are much faster then they really are...the fastest 150lb recurve was the barnett commando which was 225 fps...But i guess its all about marketing, more fps sells more crossbows
@MegaHorselover4life I agree. First time I tried to cock my Jaguar I nearly put my back out. My son is twice my size and even he had problems. 175lb recurve is never gonna be easy to cock.
Do you need special wax to maintain the string? And how is it with the arrows, do they break quick or is it unnecessary to order spare ones? Considering to buy one...
I wish youtube would get the search fixed, I searched Archery to see skilled people using a traditional and powerful weapon of war, now I see advertising for a stupid laser sighted, unskilled, crossbow, even ancient crossbow users were called crossbowman and not considered "Archers" so why am I seeing this on a search for archery? jeez... Fine people wanna use them, its just like gun hunting and all I understand, but don't think "Robin Hood won't have anything on you!" as they arrogantly boast.
@miles305678 mate have you ever actually been involved in archery to any extent cos it seems to me you may just be dribbling shit, i spent a lot of time shooting competitively for an archery club and see nothing wrong with people shooting crossbows as a sport, it is a valid sport, it is based on consistency just as traditional archery or even rifle or pistol shooting are, if ya gonna be judgmental at least be well informed as you do so
@donorcanvas Yes I have studied archery to a huge extent and have shot 3 different bows so far, but realize I was being a total ass that day, the same reason I have been in a bad mood is the same reason I cannot buy a bow or shoot anymore, been looking for a job for months even applying at every little sandwich shop and store, not one call back, so been grumpy, sorry if I offended this actually looks rather fun. I still think "Robin Hood has nothing on you!" is a stupid though. :P Good day :)
@miles305678 all good mate, ya right about the robin hood comment, it is a bit of a wank, i hope thing pick up for ya with work and hope ya get back into archery, it is a very rewarding sport, anyway take it easy and have fun, cos thats what its all about
why is everyone talking about zoom with a red dot scope? you guys are idiots there is no zoom at all with a red dot. don't you see the 3 red dots...that's for different yardage / arrow drop.
@chingchong110 true but the chinese crossbows aren't accurate enough. It was more like a last reserve , at least thats what I heard on some show about it. These compound crossbows are boring, take every natural part away and make sure that everything i measured out for you... what fun is that?
um buddy you don't need a 80lb longbow, lmao? a 50lb bow will bring down more than enough, though i recommend 60lb. And comps are the way 2 go these days my bows a 2007 tomkat model by bowtech
Mine arrived today, I must say, after using a 50lb pistol crossbow, this is in a whole other league. It's unnerving to unpack, and the power of it is amazing. Really commands respect. It's much bigger than it looks on pictures or in videos too.
I dont have anything against you, but look. as you may know, Crossbows were made during the middle ages, a crossbowman could be trained in 2 or 3 weeks and recruited for the army. medieval crossbows did not have any system of zooms or that things, so a modern "crossbowman" have less skill than a medieval one, and the medieval one have very little skill, so image what skill could a modern one have!! (its not against you, is against the olimpic tournaments of archery"
@norcorneliocastrogom fyi, the crossbow wasnt invented during the middle age. It was invented in China. Infact they had already developed a reteating crossbow by the 4th century b.c.
@agentgfh thats crap, its just that with a crossbow proficient has a different meaning, like rifle shooting its about the groupsize, and it takes a lot of practice to keep reducing the size groups you are shooting, ill admit that crossbows will shoot tighter groups at average ranges but that doesnt mean anything because even if the groups are smaller than that of a vertical bow its about shooting smaller groups than the otherguy with a crossbow,
wow your a complete dumbass one its not WOW two the last video i posted was just about a year ago three they were my little brothers and four i fire both a compound and long bows which actually requires skill you can be able to achieve some level of proficiency with a crossbow in a matter of hours but in order to be able to hit a target at 80m+ with a bow 9/10 times that takes months of practice so get the fuck off you retarded pedophile who takes videos 12 year olds at carnivals
@norcorneliocastrogom uh dusch bag its the same thing as a rifle with a scope and everything and its like a rifle and a bow in one wtf is wrong wit u "what kind of skill does it take' your a asshole
@norcorneliocastrogom you need no more skills to hunt with a compound bow... with all the modern rest, sights, strings and peeps, they're not difficult to use
i got the jaguar 5 weeks ago im truely impressed with it for only 150$ the scope broke so i use open sights wich are better i shot open sights at 40 yards and it hit dead on its very powerful and an definatly take down a deer
i tell ya what i cant stand every one using cross bows .unless you're disabled then that is fine .but all these kids are using these crossbows and they think they can shoot 65-70 yards but alot can affect an arrow from that far so i think its bull shit
Unless you have an insatiable hunger for whale meat, you'll never go hungry while it's functional. You can spend 4-6 times the cash but you wont get 4-6 times the crossbow.
I prefer iron sites and was glad they were included in the package. Maybe when I get older and my vision starts to fade I'll mount the rdscope.
Would it kill a deer? The price of it in the catolog seems ro good to be true and the description didn't say anyhting about hunting so I'm a little uneasy about buying it until I know it can bring down the game I hunt.
@timmythefishingguy before guns came out everyone used to hunt with bows or crossbows, crossbows are stronger and modern crossbows are even stronger. So it would surely take down a deer if you shoot well 1 shot, if not 2 or 3 shots :)
@Timmy, unless you hit it in the head I'm pretty sure it's got a too short power stroke for killing deer. You should concider a dedicated hunting crossbow like a TenPoint or Excalibur for deer hunting.
I shouldn't have judged the Jaguars Power stroke by watching the video, it looked so short, but after looking up it's specs, I guess I was wrong. 14' and 175lbs is certainly enough to take down deer.
But, I just know that for me, I'd rather buy a crossbow that I know is build to meet quality standards rather than a budget. Had a Barnett Quad 400 blow up on me once and I'd concider that a "Higher Quality" bow than the Jag.
All I'm saying is, be careful buying cheap crossbows with high draw weight
is there much diffrence between the 150lb and 175lb? i have never shot a crossbow but not sure what power to go for and is it best to use a scope? whats the sights like on the jaguar,thanks
i`ve got one of these thier not that good he says on here 175lbs 310 fps but thier 242 fps150lbs are about 220fps thats why the price halfed i bought mine as a spair.if you look around you can pick one up for under 100. If your going to buy one spend a little more get a top end barnet or excaliber for between 400 and 600 quid you`ll love it..however crossbow hunting is illeagle in the uk unfortunatly bastards
An 80lb Longbow with a good broadhead will take down anything on the North American Continent. Saxton Pope and many others used to hunt that way in the early 1900's, many people still do.
So far the only problem I have is its to powerfull..I'm shooting bails of hay and because there is so much force behind the arrow the quivers are comming off..My shots are between 30 and 40 yards..
I picked this bow up a few days ago. After shooting through a few 1/4 inch plywood sheets I've decided to go Javelina hunting with it this weekend..I'll let you all know how much power it has after the kill or loss.
Nice! Unfortunately i am in UK and can only get upto 175lb max ( unless i get a compound at 185 lb, but thats just silly ). I have 150 lb just now, and about to get 175 lb prod. Will be fun to see the difference on several layers of laminate flooring.
Thats pretty useful and must save the fingers for cocking it!
I can only dream of the power of a 220 lb.........
Im thinking about geting a 3 red dot sight when i get the 175 lb prod.The guy i got the crossbow from said he was splitting bolts about 40/50 yard also with it
have on its alright the bolts that come with it are cheap!! but to buy more is still cheap good for target and havent hunted anything else with it except chickens. have a pse compound bow for hunting!
I bought one of these back in December from the SG for the price of $135.00. Not very acurate over 14 yards. The bolts that come with it are junk, plastic inserts had to be replaced. After 50 shots string needs to be replaced. The jaguar collects dust now with no plans on shooting it ever again. Not worth $135.00..
What is the maximum shooting distance? What is the maximum distance for lethal penetration? Is this crossbow for target shooting, or hunting, or both? And, what animals are this weapon designed to kill?
It can be used for target and hunting. Not sure about the max distance and lethality distance but 350 fps is pretty strong and judgeing by other crossbows I've seen I would say max distance for a lethal shot would be any where from 30-40 meters, Just and estimate. And since the bolts are smaller than arrows I would say a good lung shot would be your best option.
. You can use it for most big game animals such as deer, moose, elk and bear. I had a bow last year that i bought from the same guy that sold me the Jaguar and it was only 150Ib but i still nailed my deer with it. A good distance is usually 20 yards to sight in for and you're guaranteed a kill at that distance if you go for the lungs. Even 30 yards will get you a kill but that should be the max distance you should shoot from.
i dont get it, so does it way 175 lbs? cause i want to get one, but i dont think i can hold 175 lbs that easy ( please dont call me stupid, i dont know about cross bows ).
shut up u slimy wanker!!!! all parents should give crossbows to children, but at the same time educate them on how to use it!! just because your inbred swine parents don´t have the responsibility to teach you, you 11 toed chimp.
you beast, hunk of a man, i like a man who knows his vocabulary ;)
will you be over later so i can strip you naked, grease you up with cat food and raspberry jam, then have my marvelous collection of exotic caterpillars nibble you till you go a shade of purple ? =D
lolwtf man? are you insane or are you just gonna climb your nearest clocktower? cause if youre gonna climb the clocktower i prefer a high power sniper rifle

That is a red dot sight on top of the crossbow and has no zoom. Alligning that up alone is a skill in its self.
Crossbows these days are intended for fun, not for killing people in wars - we have guns for that now.
The point is that shooting a crossbow requires more skill than a modern gun.
But surely its good that people have a choice of what to learn to shoot - and not have to shoot just what ever it is that you like to shoot.

If your going to buy one spend a little more get a top end barnet or excaliber for between 400 and 600 quid you`ll love it..however crossbow hunting is illeagle in the uk unfortunatly bastards

You can take large bears with a suitable 175lb crossbow

An 80lb Longbow with a good broadhead will take down anything on the North American Continent. Saxton Pope and many others used to hunt that way in the early 1900's, many people still do.

tinyt2009 2 years ago
So far the only problem I have is its to powerfull..I'm shooting bails of hay and because there is so much force behind the arrow the quivers are comming off..My shots are between 30 and 40 yards..
Dissonant1975 2 years ago
I picked this bow up a few days ago. After shooting through a few 1/4 inch plywood sheets I've decided to go Javelina hunting with it this weekend..I'll let you all know how much power it has after the kill or loss.
Dissonant1975 2 years ago
well actually its not that hard to shoot acurate with a bow with no sights and im pretty accurate and ive only been shooting for a couple of months

If this Xbow has a draw weight of 150 lbs and gets 310 fps, I wonder what kind of fps my 220 lb. draw Barnett Commando is producing.
Conan568 2 years ago
You should be hitting about 400fps
Dissonant1975 2 years ago
That makes sense, I know they're really moving fast and it sure shoots flat.
Conan568 2 years ago
At 310 FPS. the draw weight would have to be 175 lb.
150 lb draw produces more like 220/250 FPS.
220 lb ( depending on if your crossbow is recurve or compound ) is something like 350 FPS. less if your cross bow is compound over any distance.
Always go recurve, most quiet and most powerful.
theguywith1face 2 years ago
My Xbow is a recurve.
I have a 175 lb. prod and 2 X 220 lb. prods, 1 of which is on the bow.
It cocks like an air-gun, you fold it.
Conan568 2 years ago
Nice! Unfortunately i am in UK and can only get upto 175lb max ( unless i get a compound at 185 lb, but thats just silly ). I have 150 lb just now, and about to get 175 lb prod. Will be fun to see the difference on several layers of laminate flooring.
Thats pretty useful and must save the fingers for cocking it!
I can only dream of the power of a 220 lb.........
What kind of things have you shot?
theguywith1face 2 years ago
I've only target shot with mine.
I put a bolt through a huge Wasp nest a few years back, and those bastards were buzzing me all afternoon.
Conan568 2 years ago
Im the same, only target practice.
It took me 3 times to read and understand your post, i thought you said you shot a wasp ha ha.
I was like, how and why would he do that?
Im testing mine just now so i can see the defference in max penetration between 150 and 175 lb.
You should make a video of 220 lb firing at soem thick wood or something.
must need a serious backstop for your machine !
theguywith1face 2 years ago
I have to use a hay bail, or the impact ruins my arrows.
My Xbow hits very hard.
Conan568 2 years ago
Do you use any optics or lasers, or just iron sights?
theguywith1face 2 years ago
I have iron sights right now, but I did put a 22 rifle scope on it for a while.
I was getting some very tight groups @ 40 yards, and even hitting the other bolts shafts which of course isn't a good thing for either bolt.
Conan568 2 years ago
Did the scope have magnifier or just fixed zoom?
Im thinking about geting a 3 red dot sight when i get the 175 lb prod.The guy i got the crossbow from said he was splitting bolts about 40/50 yard also with it
theguywith1face 2 years ago
Mine was a 4X scope, and with the mechanical draw on my bow, I hit the other bolts often.
I ruined a lot of bolts that way.
Aluminum bolts would bend and glass bolts would just explode.
Conan568 2 years ago
Glass bolts? never heard of that before. Did it still aim well when you used the zoom? or did you need to adjust your fire?
theguywith1face 2 years ago
Fiberglass bolts, they split into bits.
I just adjusted the scope like I would if it were on a rifle and I was getting some pretty good groups.
Conan568 2 years ago
cool, might give that a go, but just got fixed zoom,so maybe that will be easier anyway

I bought one of these back in December from the SG for the price of $135.00. Not very acurate over 14 yards. The bolts that come with it are junk, plastic inserts had to be replaced. After 50 shots string needs to be replaced. The jaguar collects dust now with no plans on shooting it ever again. Not worth $135.00..

I'm interested, BUT.
What is the maximum shooting distance? What is the maximum distance for lethal penetration? Is this crossbow for target shooting, or hunting, or both? And, what animals are this weapon designed to kill?
(Apart from idiots and assholes?)
goldenscales 2 years ago
It can be used for target and hunting. Not sure about the max distance and lethality distance but 350 fps is pretty strong and judgeing by other crossbows I've seen I would say max distance for a lethal shot would be any where from 30-40 meters, Just and estimate. And since the bolts are smaller than arrows I would say a good lung shot would be your best option.
gorillailla202 2 years ago
. You can use it for most big game animals such as deer, moose, elk and bear. I had a bow last year that i bought from the same guy that sold me the Jaguar and it was only 150Ib but i still nailed my deer with it. A good distance is usually 20 yards to sight in for and you're guaranteed a kill at that distance if you go for the lungs. Even 30 yards will get you a kill but that should be the max distance you should shoot from.

1) Don't admit to anyone you are a felon. (Convicted or otherwise.)
2) Keep your nose clean and stay out of sight. What the Man don't know, he can't bust you for.
