Crossbows will be rendered illegal weapons very soon both to buy and own, they don't want a population that could defend themselves against all these dystopian regulations and the police state we are heading towards but getting tooled up seems a logical route to go down nowadays. All the best to you and say hi to Darren for me.

[@regagrey3680]

Yes . I watch a video of a guy who apparently was going to assassinate the Queen with a crossbow with no sights on. I would ask everybody note where the sun and hence shadow should have been at 2pm on the 29/11/19 over London Bridge. Then go back and look at the photos of the "terrorist knife attack " It's so easy to see the lies.

[@user-jd7jw4zv4r]

Nice toys 😊 I'd like to drop by and check out the bows, but I'm in Idaho USA 🇺🇸 😎 This may be off poin however I have noticed that crossbows seem to be selling faster than ever according to the limited numbers on Amazon. I'm currently working on acquiring a few items that I have taken an interest in recently. We have a fare amount of Yard Food here. This is to say that I usually have 2 or more deer 🦌 walking through my yard per day and sometimes during the warmer weather 6 ÷ across the alley in the neighbors yard eating apples, apricots and the garden. One thing I am looking into is fishing 🎣 with a pistol crossbow I have. It's 150 lbs draw weight. Lucky we can still have the AR s and the other loud stuff , For now. 🤔 Thanks for the video 👍

Get the one with the magazine if your going to get it 5 bolts at a time it holds

The cocking arm is too long is there any way to shorten it? Looks aesthetically ugly to me but seems to function perfectly.

Can the adder be used without the magazine? And was also wondering if I could use 15 inch bolts with the r9?

[@punisher288]

Can you shoot 16 inch arrows? Since 15 is not common. And can there also be different arrows be used then jus from ek archery?

[@eldiablo5092]

I see the 90lb comes with short bolts can the 15" bolts be used for this also with no problem.

[@TheBugOutShop]

They will work as well.

[@rjonnyg]

Great vid what other arrows are available to use with the RX as the Adder version can only use one type of bolt which are very expensive to buy as extra ones .will the RX fire a a variety of different maybe cheaper alternatives ? am looking to buy the RX

[@granite676]

You can get the standard arrow head straight round point or the broadhead type.

[@svenschwingel8632]

The R9 or RX will take standard 15" bolts with 100 or 125 gr. tips, either the standard Field Tips, Bullet Tips, Bodkins or Hunting Broadheads. The Adder will only accept 7.5" bolts but there are quality alternatives to the rather pricey EK Archery originals.

[@samdunn717]

the adder only fires one type of bolt? That's news to me, I hope you're wrong, I've gone and bought all sorts of bolts, broadheads, bodkins ... I think you can even shoot long bolts without the mag. I see no reason why I can't fire 7.5 inch bolts with any head on in the mag, as long as only 2 vanes

I have a question. Quality wise is the adder the way to go for a repeat crossbow? I am concerned about rate of fire and ease of reload

[@Gk2003m]

I’ve put a few hundred shots thru mine, and the original string remains in great shape. I’ve had no misdeeds or other malfunctions.

[@bonvoy3432]

The adder, can you use long arrows in the mag?

[@TheBugOutShop]

There is a specific blot(arrow) for the magazine.

[@bradchez1908]

If I had a cobra r9 , could I purchase the magazine separately that goes onto the cobra adder and it would work ? Or is it a slightly different design ?

[@nikofrost8552]

should be no problem

[@jameswigginton5509]

No,it's unique to the adder unless you're able to make/modify

[@zeelowsguys]

Do you know if I can shoot the 15”R9 arrows through the adder? Obviously loading individually?

[@TheBugOutShop]

I’ve never tried it but I can’t see why not.

[@svenschwingel8632]

Yes, that is possible. Just lift the dry-fire dafety, cock it and insert the arrow from the front between the magazine and the rail.

[@MrTimmmers]

The adder needs shorter bolts, only with the magazine. They all fire longer bolts.

[@TheBugOutShop]

Correct Tim, when buying the bows i was just pointing out which bolts come with the kits. Many thanks for watching.

[@joe_souls]

You can check out the KZbinr "Andy Solutions". He has designed an open magazine for the Adder, with which you can also shoot the long bolts. He also sells these crossbows, but probably only in small numbers and on request. But he also ships it to England and the USA as far as I know. Best regards from Germany

[@glyngibbs9489]

Hi. When will you be restocking the underlever style bows?

[@TheBugOutShop]

Very soon I hope. I have the R9 in stock but the RX and adder should be in stock soon.

Thanks I fancy the EK Archery Cobra RX Adder. I'll keep an eye on the shop. Feel free to message if you like when they're in or due.

[@andrewhart503]

This crossbow looks great, do you post out to customers?

[@TheBugOutShop]

Yes we post to uk customers

[@silverbullet2008bb]

THE Ek Archery Cobra Adder is a better option. It's the same as the RX but with a 5 shot magazine which auto-loads the bolts when you cock it.

[@davidyates7835]

Can they be fitted with a bigger limbs?/ Heavier draw ?

[@nickrudd2568]

My Jaguar crossbows 140lb out the box, Its hard work to cock it but by heck! Worth the effort. Trouble is making something to shoot that actually catches the bolts, They go straight through wet bags of sand unless you double up or shot them long ways.

[@svenschwingel8632]

Actually, you can build a power upgrade yourself by attaching and connecting a second limb to the original. If you combine the 130 lbs RX bow with a 90 lbs limb behind it, you can greatly increase the draw weight and therefore the energy stored. But the powerstroke remains limited to 7.5 inches which would make it difficult to transfer the excess energy into the bolt.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

There is now a 190ib limb available as standard. And it isn't much harder to cock due to its design with amazing materials.

[@spenndoolie]

whats it like repairing these things? how often do strings degrade etc

[@TheBugOutShop]

Strings should be changed every 12 months with regular use or when they start to fray. Easy to change.

[@tartanrambo]

Do you have the X-Bow Supersonic crossbows?

[@TheBugOutShop]

I dont stock these yet but they sure look the bees knees.

[@tartanrambo]

@@TheBugOutShop There is a REV model that clocks a velocity of 420fps. It's also narrower than the standard Supersonic and has reverse limbs. Hence the name REV. I am speaking to a guy in Germany and one in Latvia who makes magazines for them. This combo is going to rock!!!

[@WhySoSerious551]

I have a supersonic i think theres a few vids on my page if you want a look, problem with fma is getting parts, its nye on impossible, and a lot of places are keeping low stock for the impending ban, its not like it used to be, i would say buy one but get parts with it. The fma is a far superior bow to any ive ever used.

[@tartanrambo]

@@WhySoSerious551 I ordered my Supersonic REV this past weekend. I've been watching a German guy on YT (Andy) who makes 7-8 bolt magazines for the Supersonic (he's branded his x-bows as the "Mamba"). There is apparently a big backlog on these crossbows. Perhaps that's why there are not many spares to go around. But, this will change as they catch on. His videos certainly helped me make up my mind on which bow to go for. After days of research, the EK Archery x-bows just didn't cut the mustard! Too bulky, has a huge cocking cycle to reload and has too many parts. His channel is called: Andy's Solutions. If you want a good laugh, Andy shows you how he can cock, shoot a Supersonic (Mamba) and hold off an attacker using one arm. When you find his channel, look for his video: "MP5 Mamba - Supersonic Next Gen". It's awesome! Prices for these little x-bows are a little crazy at the moment. I have decided I need to learn how to make bowstrings to make DIY replacement strings. I exchanged emails with Andy. He's looking at +/- 400 Euros for the magazine components alone and +/- 700 Euro upwards for a Mamba with a magazine. He clearly does put a lot of work into his accessories, but, phew, he knows how to charge an arm and a leg! This is all before Shipping and any Customs Duties. Therefore, I am going to attempt a DIY magazine too. There may be a little learning involved wrto. welding. However, to avoid getting stung by Andy's prices, it will be well worth it. Cheers bud!

[@SciD1]

With the Adder 7-shot, why would you want the other single shot crossbows?

[@TheBugOutShop]

I personally like the more powerful recurve bows. I have a R9 90lb a 175lb recurve and a 210lb compound to cover all bases.

[@svenschwingel8632]

The magazine and red dot scope mount introduce slight inaccuracies so the Adder is really not that useful for longer distances. If you want the best-possible precision, a single-shot crossbow is the way to go.

[@SciD1]

@@svenschwingel8632 I don't hunt. I see repeating crossbows as the best home defense weapon for those countries where you can't own a gun.

[@svenschwingel8632]

@@SciD1 I don't hunt either - at least not yet. But with food shortages and skyrocketing prices on the horizon, I wouldn't dare to say that my current attitude is set in stone either :) Back to topic: my Adder is great for medium distances, no doubt about it. It is easy to handle after a bit of practice, although the magazine makes maintenance a bit harder, especially applying the rail lube - although the magazine can be disassembled easily. It's also fun to shoot with and allows for a natural firing position with the AR-15 stock. But it has its slight disadvantages due to design compromises with the integration of the magazine, one being that the grouping of multiple bolts might be larger than expected. It is not a sniper crossbow so if accuracy over distance is a key component of your personal home defense strategy, having an additional RX (or, even better, a Siege 300) might be worth a thought or two. The question is: what range do you personally prefer for defense?

[@SciD1]

@@svenschwingel8632 the range needed for home defense is very well covered by the Adder. The majority of situations happen at close range, either in the house, or in the yard.

[@vlat18]

are these bows same powerful like medieval crossbows?

Less draw weight by quite a bit but that isn't everything... so they end up more powerful.

There are videos from South Africa where hunters use the standard RX with Broadheads to bring down Boars and Antilopes. So yes, it is possible.

[@videogazer801]

Safety, long cocking arm, requiring full extension so magazine doesn’t jam…. A lot of factors. What is the average firing rate for the RX? Like 7 seconds per shot?

[@TheBugOutShop]

Yeh just a few seconds per shot. There are videos showing this on KZbin

[@svenschwingel8632]

I own a Cobra RX Adder and was - being a rather mediocre operator - able to fire all 7 bolts within 30 seconds after a bit of training. At the expense of some accuracy, that is. It's not the best tool for dynamic IPSC shooting, but it can be really useful for medium ranges. For close-quarters, its 130 lbs bow can be a bit of a disadvantage so I'd rather choose a magazine pistol crossbow like the Steambow Stinger 2 with a 50 lbs bow. Alternatively, there's the Fenris system which turns a standard bow into a fast-fire magazine bow that can launch arrows every 2 seconds :)

[@petersneddon1579]

@@svenschwingel8632 If your talking speed but not great accuracy a fenris can discharge in .9 of a second between shots.

@@petersneddon1579 true that. It also depends a bit on your chosen draw weight.

Sure is... but by that logic you could say you are stuck with late16th century tech to defend your end. These are a lot more advanced than medieval times. Just the principle.
