Range Testing The EK Archery Adder 5-Shot Crossbow - Tactical Archery UK

[@davidchantapanya746]

The crossbow went together quickly and the general fit and finish is a bit above what I expected for the price. kzbin.infoUgkx5B43Qabqt1HedUJyfEqxiwBCfaooIH52 The adjustable stock is a little loose. I had an issue when I tried to cock the bow for the first time with the safety on. The string set in the trap box, held just enough to build up enough tension to rip the string out of my hands when it let go. No significant damage was done, and once I got it sighted in, I wrecked a couple bolts by sending one straight down the shaft of the first. I'm holding ~2" groups at around 50 yards, and I'm not an expert by any means. Best part is that they supply all the replacements parts you may ever need

[@drizza7350]

Out of all the brands Ive seen, I believe I like this best… owning a compound and single shot crossbow. Great work, mate!

[@shardinhand1243]

such a beautifly designed weapon. the closest to a fire arm the bow has ever come so elegant. i really love this thing i hope one day its price drops into my price range.

[@cameronmoughton9933]

Yes I have one, a magnificent tool.

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

Excellent shooting at 45 mate, highly impressive for the sight. Good job geez.

[@OurAmazingSkies]

Great shooting! I've just ordered the Adder with the 7 shot mag. Good luck with the channel, subbed.

[@susanmenegus5543]

👍

[@rodagoose]

How do you like the Adder with the 7 shot mag? Do you get similar accuracy as shown in this video? I have a Vlad (my first repeating crossbow) and I'm a bit disappointed with it.

[@Jones-xx2gc]

Impressed with that at all ranges. Have a standard R9 that I have had great fun with.

[@ianfosterUSA]

I have this adder it's awesome accurate and lethal, brilliant video thanks

[@TheShonuff888]

I seen a video that the bolts was going through a cooking pan, so this is great for home defense.

[@qaching]

@@TheShonuff888 a knife or a bat is way better than this for home defense Unless you get a clean headshot from a moving target

[@nonegiven9579]

​@@qaching using a knife or bat means getting in close where there is a risk it could be taken and used against you , especially if getting rushed by multiple attacker's. That crossbow would dispatch multiple attacker's at a safe range , no fucker is going to hang about when their mate is getting pumped full of bolts are they.

[@qaching]

@@nonegiven9579 i give you one shot before im standing right in front of you you better have knife or bat in your hand

Impressive aiming

[@tacticalarcheryuk]

Thank you!

[@hmcpimpslap480]

I have the adder and the siege and both are fantastic but I prefer the siege!

[@turbosnowy]

Both are great, but yeah the Siege is super fun, probs my fav over the adder just for oomph, but both are fun and cool af. Also in case you don't know the Adder shoots full size bolts fine (15") if you want to use them on it, just need to cheat the dry fire mechanism. Steambow Stinger 2 is also super fun if you haven't tried that.

[@qaching]

the siege is way way too big and clumsy and the adder destroys the siege in terms of looks

[@punisher288]

​@@qaching but less sturdy

[@kaygeehimself9027]

@@qaching But the Siege hits with much more power and is very precise. Its precision is around a 2-Inch-circle on 30 yards. The adder is more fun, sure, but the Siege is really a serious mid-range crossbow.

[@jeffsmith350]

I would love to see someone do a video on hunting deer with it.

[@grim4this]

Just an idea, but if you are going to say something like I aimed high to allow for drop, maybe show us roughly where you were aiming. Like was it the top of the rabbit of 3 foot above it?

[@kevinlowe6467]

Exactly what I was gonna asked😅

[@bonvoy3432]

Practice yourself, there are many factors including your positioning/height, how you're holding the bow

[@onesong2001]

@@bonvoy3432 The video should just be the guy doing nothing and saying "Do it yourself!" 👍

[@vtrndre3728]

this was a very enjoyable video good shooting, quick question do I need any kind of licence to purchase one of these in the uk if not where can I use it in the uk for target practice

[@wolfyshane]

No licence required

[@TheShonuff888]

Yeah I would get one soon before they start requiring a license.

[@KingDomsKingdom85]

Nope, not yet anyway. Grab one quick!!!

[@wilfredosagum8102]

Great job well done ur ready for hunting

[@Hebesgugl]

What would be the broadheads for Adder that would have pretty much the same trajectory as the "blue" target tips bolts? In other words, if I set up my sights with "blue" bolts, what hunting tips should I buy so that the bolts with those hunting tips will hit roughly at the same place? The distance I'm talking about is up to 20 m (red dot). Is this even possible with Adder?

[@nonsheep5823]

Not bad shooting considering wind on the day

[@socrates470BCE]

what's the best target for this bow? i'm on my 3rd and still going in too far, 2 homemade and one shop bought but still going into the veins. i'm gonna ask this on a few adder clips so pay no attention if you see same message

[@NZVideoGuy]

I recently bought an EK Adder. I'm trying to figure out how to make a suitable target. I made one out of layers of foam which were compressed together with ratchet tie-downs, but the bolts disappear right into it and I have to take the whole thing apart to get them out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Paul. Auckland, New Zealand.

[@bronoun8884]

50 shades of grey was printed for exactly this purpose. Honest !😂

[@andrew-martin]

I had the same problem untill I purchased 10kg White Cotton Sheet Lint-Free Industrial Cleaning Rags Wipers Wiping Cloths from Ebay. It comes as a vaccum packed square shape . Perfect for this crosbow as the bolts stick right in but not up to the Fletchins. Easy to just pull out too.

[@qaching]

Buy yourself a target on the internet for $50 Those targets are literally designed for this

[@tacticalarcheryuk]

I would look at getting a crossbow bag target. They are usually filled with wool or old pairs of jeans (lol) but they work great and you can easily pull the bolt out.

[@dudeyfeb88coach]

Licensing inbound .I noticed this company never mentioned here or on their website .Bless .

[@TheShonuff888]

I seen the video that you can shortened the safety pin, so when you crank it, it doesn’t automatically activate the safety. It requires you to take it apart, so it’s best to have the tools to do it, mainly a vice and a hacksaw.

[@contorta960]

Do you have a link for the scope?

[@SD-rn1fn]

Does putting twists in the string increase power ?

[@herrseekadett1172]

100% he have AIMBOT on XD good video 100% Präzision

[@marknewson948]

What I’m hearing with the adder is it jams like a lot going to get one soon but it does seem the jamming is lessened with the v2 magazine Which is online for an extra £100 the jamming is issue tho still and puts me off as I’ve seen people with this now snap strings which is very expensive if it keeps happening pretty cool and I like just it’s tech it’s pretty cool….

[@VR6-Familie]

Original arrows and 0 problems.

[@tacticalarcheryuk]

I think there was a bad batch of adders about 1 year ago as we did have a few problems with customers saying they were breaking but ever since then I've never had any problems with the Adder if used correctly. I personally have never had an adder break on me even after 100+ shots. Cool bit of kit though.

[@MrMarkDark]

That's a different rabbit, the first one died just out of frame lol 👍🏻

[@jasonbuchanan7591]

Mine never jammed And I have had both mags 5 and 7

[@Ezekiel903]

i have my Adder for 6 months now, so far no jamming! btw, impressive the penetration at 45 yards!!

[@EdgyShooter]

Stuck between this and AR-6 Stinger 2 tactical (not the compact)

Can you use longer arrows by feeding the crossbow bellow the magazine?

[@bonvoy3432]

If you take off the 5 bolts could you use full size arrows?

[@jamesmoran3706]

Anyone know the real range of this would it possibly do 80 yards to maybe 150 ? With the proper scope

[@uliotto5112]

What scope/red dot did you use in the test? It is not the original one that comes with the Adder. Thx …

[@qaching]

doesn't matter you have million other scopes

[@thomasericksen6726]

Did you have to buy that scope separately that you have equipped on it, or does that come with the package? Its just that the scope you have looks different to the one shown on the website I'm looking at
