I got my predator last november 2010, it has scope mount issue like many. Insted of fighting Barnet again, I bought a Parker Concorde over E-bay for a little more than half the price of Bass Pro Shop. The Predator has Issues that Barnet won't get back to me on... One is the cheek piece being to short the other is the string serving, and now the scope mounting. Also I did order a string from them a month almost ago and just now are they shipping it from what the lady told me on the phone today.
Crossbows or bows, intrinsically it's the same thing. I wasn't referring to just reaching it. Using a range finder would increase the chance of accuracy i.e. without using holdover.
There is a new player on the market. (tecnarm.com) They claim that their SCAR dynamics technology could deliver crossbows (they call them Special mechanical-elastic devices) with "Energy up to 2000J and projectile speeds up to 200m/s". That is impressive. I would really like to see something more than animation.
200 m/s is 656 fps
2000J is 1475 ft/lbs
They will be on the market with something called Ghetrax - it supposed to be quieter than many other bows.
@colbertnation1776 Why bother with a crossbow then and just go with the rifle? I thought the whole idea was to try and get back to nature and back to our Neanderthalian past.
im 13 i dont have real crossbows yet im gettin the 820c crossbow it only fires 200fps that could kill a squirrel in the right place. i aint gonna hunt big game, never. im only small animal specialist
Nice shooting mate. My only criticism would be you really should practise judging range by eye. I know rangefinders are an excellent bit of kit but sometimes we rely on technology too much.
Maybe even putting marker sticks around the field before lying up would assist
@Argyll1000 Give me a break. Use the range finder. Don't listen to this guys criticism. You are doing the right thing. Range the distance before hand. This gives you accurate readings. Don't rely on this guys advice. Make a good clean and quick kill!
@wssidaho First of all if you read my comments correctly you will clearly read I'm using constuctive critisism. A rangefinder is an excellent tool but we're taking the skill out of shooting by relying on technology.
9 years in the British Army and trained as a sniper qualifies me to say this. I won't reply to any negative or rude comments. If you can't be nice then don't say anything at all. 3 weeks ago
great mule deer! I love barnett crossbows. I have a Wildcat C5 (2008 Model) right now. I hit a 6 point right in the lungs and he didnt even take a step! Now i am getting the barnett predator AVI tomorrow! Trust me if your in the market for a crossbow for target or hunting, get a barnett! they`re cheaper or equal in price to other brands and are a lot better in my opinion.
i've got a barnett lightning, i only use it for shooting targets, its too easy to wound with a crossbow. if i go hunting for food or pest control, i use rifles.
If you don't know the first thing about a bow don't leave freakin comments. the broad head point on a bow usually has three points and they are RAZORS they are designed to cut through arteries so thst the deer bleeds to death and thats practically the same thing you do with a gun except bullets expand. its all about shot placement. if you don't make a good shoot no matter what you shoot your just going to wound an animal so learn stuff before posting stupid comments
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Everyone talks about conservation and hunting to avoid overpopulation...we need to start doin this with these so called humans and the world prabably wouldnt be that big of a shithole...killin really really gets these clowns excited..kinda sick really.
I don't understand the big deal against hunting. As long as you eat what you shoot, or someone else does, why is it wrong? I'd sooner shoot and eat some delicious game than stuff steroid ravaged, battery farmed livestock down my neck.
@topspeclt and so then what do u do when all the shops are shut due to unforseen circumstances and your starving and you dont know what to do to feed yourself?? ignorant and stupid comment all too common these days unfortunatly
all the unecessary video effects made me dizzy...
and the guy who thinks anything but a clean kill is cruel, killing is killing and it's always "cruel", grow a pair or don't hunt you fucking hypocrite.
yes but the velocity drops off faster due to the weight of the bolt, so compounds actually have a longer effective range. that being said, im still for people hunting with crossbows.
couldn`t even watch all of this! Crossbows havn`t the velocity to make a clean kill! its cruel! Thats why we don`t use them, or bows, in England! would you rather me shoot you with a high velocity rifle and drop you where you stand or let you run around with a frigging bolt sticking out of you for hours? Bad show Sir!
vegan14, those animals deserved to be shot.. what you vegans don understand, is that when you have eaten meat, you can interact with animals, they are saying 'eat me, im full of beefy meaty tasty steaky liplickingly goodness' so stop being a pussy, and go down on a pig.
the animals dont deserve to be killed. if ur going to eat the animal youve killed then i dont see a problem also its not about being a pussy or not some people just dont like to kill animals.
lol! exactly! and they are way over populated. u dont want elk deer calves and everything else you hunt roaming around in the city do you? think about that while i go gets me somes deer meatssss... =]]]]
bolton7 people arguing over killing,eating,not eating,not killing animals its okay. for me i believe god put them here for us to eat if we choose.if we don't manage the population they will die anyway.
