  • 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?

  • 0:24 don't shoot your foot!

  • @Tonyhibbs what do you think!? Course it is, it's silent so won't attract attention and it'll go through skull easy

  • Is this good for killing zombies ?

  • they go through plate armor, but not target fluff.....

  • 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!

  • @579sharky

    what sort of bolts were you using (aluminum or carbon, length, age)? Bought one of these recently & and I don't want to die. Regards

  • he has to use the scope from dat close lol

  • 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!

  • when i typed explosive cross bow i thought it would be something off of black ops lol

  • do you think that they will make a Expolsive Jaguar Crossbow lol

  • 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

  • it is not that easy to cock

  • @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.

  • @HecterPlasmic i have one too its a nice bow

  • 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...

  • @Smoman17 i use hair wax or bees wax and my string has lasted for ages, and with the arrows it depends on wat u shoot, they do warp after sometime

  • Is this ok to start off with dont really want to pay much more is this ok ????????..living in the u.k all tips welcome cheers !

  • @lannie100 I'm in the UK too. This is my first and only crossbow. Its so good you'll never need another one!

  • @RG7621 cheers dude ! bought myself some super sharp points as well, bring it on lol

  • with powerful 310fps bs

    I put my mates one over the Chrony 245fps

    You could kill deer at 15 to 20 yards max

  • Do I need license for my crossbow?

  • @MrJohngalang17 not in the US

  • red necks wet dream

  • i have this one it cost me 120€ it's pretty cool but very damageable

  • Ha ha it's just a cheap knock off of the Excalibur .... Not for pros!

  • I wish I owned a crossbow, very cool.

  • does it come with explosive tiped bows?

  • how much $

  • Comment removed

  • tactical Crossbow inbound

  • did u see the object is near t crossbow?

  • 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

  • @donorcanvas I will :)

  • 310 fps my ass.

  • Easy to cock, easy to carry, and easy to put a goddamn hole in your foot! Dont wait, order your's today! :D

  • 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.

  • made in Taiwan by a excalibur

  • dude it doesnt matter red dot sights are pretty useless on a crossbow anways the iron sights were probably more accurate

  • shit by excalibur crossbow

  • Easy to cock!!! i'm a 140 pound sprinter, i can't cock that!

  • Tee Hee. Easy To Cock!

  • OH WAUWWW ITS AN SNIPER CROSSBOW :O

    Woww you must be really good when you can aim with a scope :P

    What skill amazing :O

  • The red thing is as acurate as it's gonna get. How much do you really need to zoom on something 40 meters away anyway?

  • Chinese ones are better

    they can reload multiple arrows at a time

  • @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?

  • = = noob skill :D

  • 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.

    Thoroughly recommended...

  • I have a jaaag

  • wanna make one cuz im boord

  • where i can buy one?

  • i cant believe how powerful crossbows are,my friend gave me one the other day, steel tipped arrows are so powerful!!!

  • i want one!!

  • I like it!

    cool scope btw

    realy cool

  • Wow. I want one :P

  • you mean the swiss twin bow 2

  • Amazing! =D

  • I like the swiss crossbow

  • just ordered the 175lb version, cant wait. It's not 310 FPS though, it's up to 240, still good for the price.

  • 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.

  • Reply to: norcorneliocastrogom

    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.

  • what possibly skill with a crossbow could you have If you shoot with that optical zoom, or that thing

  • what do you prefer to use norcorn?

  • @norcorneliocastrogom

    cant agree with you more it takes hardly any skill to be proficient with any crossbow

  • @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,

  • @agentgfh

    thats because ur an idiot.

    every1 click on his name and u can see a cool video of world of warcraft.

    have u ever fired a crossbow??

    to say it takes no skill is a joke

  • @knotcrazy

    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 not as easy as you think.......

  • @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

  • @mike12703 oh fuck you men fuck you you dont even what im talking about

  • @norcorneliocastrogom yeh i kinda do your jsut sayin it takes no skill to use one with a scope

  • @norcorneliocastrogom theres no zoom. its just a red dot sight. and its a bitch to get used to, it takes skill.

  • @norcorneliocastrogom oh just forgot it, it just is that a medieval crossbow dont need skill, the same with a modern one

  • @norcorneliocastrogom Idiot it's not a zoom it's just the same as a standard fibre optic 3 pin sight but its a scope instead.

  • @norcorneliocastrogom you still have to judge range, wind and, elevation difference, dumbass.

  • @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

  • @norcorneliocastrogom KK fine then u stand roughly 20 yards in front of me and start running and we'll c if i can hit ya with the scope on

  • @norcorneliocastrogom my cross bows aim is just a screw and a little ball and i shoot fine

  • @norcorneliocastrogom dude, a crossbow is designed to make it easy to use. if you want to use your skillz for something, use a bow and arrow

  • 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.

  • yeah but the draw weights 100 more lbs than my bow and I've taken deer with it.

  • 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

  • yeah but it's from the sportsmans guide so i'm gonna try it lol

  • look out world,some maniac just bought one of these

  • OMG THAT IS KEWLLLLL

  • 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

  • Sights are for lame people1!!1!!

  • Sights is for people who actuelly wants to hit something.

  • im buying that soon, and putting a video up when i do!!!!

  • What lb is required to take game as large as large squirrels and possum?

  • Is this able to take game larger tahn a rabbit?

  • 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.

  • @georgexr40 i wouldnt doubt that but many people today dont have the skill people did 200 years ago

  • just got the jaquar 175lb boy its awesome usin it for target pratice for now

  • 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.

  • 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

  • cross bows are fucking chepp u need noo talent to shoot them i shoot a bow with no aimer and its needs a lot!! more talent then this shit =[)

  • Mean matchine!

  • this shit of crossbow can t even kill a man

    i mean the arrow is fast at first 15-20 meters after a shot but after that is slowing down and

    fall on ground........................­......

  • 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.

  • You should be hitting about 400fps

  • That makes sense, I know they're really moving fast and it sure shoots flat.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • I have to use a hay bail, or the impact ruins my arrows.

    My Xbow hits very hard.

  • Do you use any optics or lasers, or just iron sights?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • cool, might give that a go, but just got fixed zoom,so maybe that will be easier anyway

  • my cross bow has a pull of 150 pounds this is crap it looks like its a toy

  • can this kill

  • 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!

  • did anyone see the black kid eating the corn dog in the gerd tree?

  • 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..

  • Fuck who made this commercial? Napoleon Dynamite and fucking Pedro,

    disgrace to the epic cross bow

  • When i 18 i buy this thing!

  • The site doesnt tell the price??

  • widać że amerykanskie gowno

  • 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?)

  • 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.

  • Anyone know if a convicted felon in Minnesota can own a crossbow? Do ya need a permit to own?

  • 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.

  • sick

  • 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 ).

  • IT means 175 pounds behind the arrow. *175 pounds of force*

  • thanks dude, so would a 13 year old be able to hold this with ease?

  • u have a zero 0% chance of gettin a crossbow you have to be 18 to buy one and an if ur parents buy u one they deserve to be shot with it

  • 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.

  • go get a crossbow and shoot it up ur urethra

  • 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

    i'm looking forward to this :3

  • what...the...fuck. AHAHAHAHAHA LMAO!

    Also the exotic/erotic caterpillers interest me, plz post a video.

  • nice comeback dude

  • Yeah, not many crossbows are that heavy, and this looks about 5-15 pounds.

    Just handle with care :)

  • he shoots at the target from 2 meters and isn´t even hitting the yellow target

    is this crossbow so bad? or the shooter because i want to buy it

  • would these arrows stick into a human?

  • 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

  • Comment removed

  • LMAO, of course man! What's wrong with you?

  • sweet. my mum dosent make my lunch well enough hahaha

  • i must have one of those

  • Nice vid.

  • I have just bought the same Weapon, only wooden colored, but how did u build this cool target-box? Can u explain pls?

  • a 150lb draw should produce over 100 ftlb of kinetic energy! this jaguar package is around £150.

  • my dad has one he bought for his dad but he passed away now we gonna shoot it some time, u cant wait! :D

  • 150 lbs draw back

  • how much might this cost?
