Hi mate great video that's why I use the scope that I use it has all the lines in it so you zero it for your distance u like to shoot at but if you ever need to shoot closer or further away it has the extra lines for you to account for that the adder is very accurate at Long Distance especially with long bolts and heavier arrowheads I was surprised that your groups with the adder the red dot sight is for close range really I did send you the link to my scope in one of hour other messages👍 and with the venom extreme limb you'll get more accurate at longer distance as well hope that helps you out 👊😎👍

I'm sure you know that there are crossbows with magazines and cocking aids: Adder, Interceptor, Revo 7, etc. In my opinion, the main problem with these crossbows is the small bolts (or special bolts/nocks). Yes, some of them can be accurate at 30-35 m, but I like my arrow/bolt to have mass (momentum of motion). That's why I use an Adder with 15-inch arrows and a custom 8-arrow magazine. An alternative to that is the Whipshot (bow with a 6+1 shot magazine; you can squeeze one arrow more), which is even better in terms of rate of fire. In any case, a very interesting video!

I used bows for 30 years and always thought bows are better than crossbows if you know how to use them that is , where crossbows are easy to use and almost instantly on target for any random person shooting one , I use a stripped down compound bow like a recurve or long bow with only a arrow rest and a good glove to pull the string set a 50 lb , there are reasons compounds are even more versatile as you can turn power up or down with a hex / allan key from 40lb to 80 lb , also because compounds are shaped like they are your hand never covers the target at any distance , and in a zombie apocalypse because they are always strung like crossbows are ready to use . disadvantage with compound bows , if you want to restring or the string comes off you need bow press and a bit of understanding about the cams to restring , bow press is around £50 and string sets from £50, to take to a shop to restring is around £130, one more disadvantage is price a cheap but good compound bow is around £ 300 with accessories and cheap arrows , the big difference is the more expensive the bow the lighter and smoother shooting the bow is and the cheaper ones usually made of machined aluminium where as the expensive are made of carbon fibre . You need a more powerful bow its not powerful enough for you , Like these vids 👍things and comparisons normal people want to see , thanks for the vid 👍

Hi Dave, thank you for the comment! I agree with everything you're saying, almost anyone can pick up a crossbow and be on target but being accurate with a bow takes continuous practice and time! Interesting fact about your hand never covering the target with compound, I've only shot one once, a friends, at about 20 yards so never actually got stuck into one. Main reason being, like you've so rightly pointed out, they require far more maintenance which can also be a lot more costly which for me isn't worth it atm. perhaps if I end up deeper down the archery rabbit hole I'll purchase one but if I had a spare £300 I'd rather buy a 55lb recurve one piece bow I think. I'm about to upload another video where I'm shooting my (cheap) 55lb horse bow so would be interested to read your comments. Thanks again. Really appreciate the feedback.

I have shot my ek adder for 50 shots without waxing anything, idk how many i did in total on that string but it's still the first one. The m10 bolt problem is known all over. It has a mag so you can reload fast in case of emergency. What use is a crossbow that will disassemble itself somewhere in the middle of the 2nd mag? In a training szenario, ok, it still sucks but you can adjust. If you really need that thing you dont wax or anything like that is has to work and it seems like it will let you down.

Thanks the comment Mike. I think the difference is that for us in the UK, we would never use this crossbow for self defence or hunting as bow hunting us illegal in the UK. In the UK this crossbow is used purely for target shooting, the magazine element is just a unique quality that makes it more desirable from a buyers standpoint. The video was really only to give my unbiased opinion on the "bolt" problem as independent videos on KZbin are good for potential buyers. Thanks again. God bless 🙏🏻

I’ve got this one, really good quality for the price. Works well for hunting big game even. Only problem with mine is that the retention spring got bent somehow, so if I’m shooting downwards the arrow will just fall off the rail… I can’t quite figure out how to fix it properly, almost considering just buying a brand new jaguar altogether lol. Maybe I’ll go with the 2 pro next time.

@@lurid9602 thank you for the comment 🙏🏻 I have ummed and ahhed about the Interceptor, my plan was to wait until regular ppl had purchased them and uploaded their own reviews as Jeorg Sprave has a financial interest in the product. It's quite expensive in the UK too, I think around 500 with a 60lbs (ish) limbset so you'd be looking at another 200-300 ish for an extra mag and a higher draw weight limbset. Don't get me wrong, I want it 🤣 but If I have 800 spare for a new Xbow I'd like to consider which one is best to add to my collection 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Honestly, prior to you telling me I wasn't aware people were having these issues, but I always loads from the top and quite often open the upper to wax the rail. The pin could perhaps do with a slightly better design but for me, given its cost£, I'm not fussed. Still good value for money IMO

@TheAArmstrong 10000% if the Interceptor wasn't so expensive, I probably would have bought it instead. I don't know what MEY's profit margin is but I feel like, if there's scope to, they lowered the price, they'd actually make more sales and therefore increase their overall earnings. £500, one magazine included and then a further £125 for a magazine is just too much when if you're on a budget, you can buy the M10 for £315 and an extra magazine for £63. Adding in strings, more powerful limbs and bolts you're looking at almost double the cost.
