Diesel X is awesome, I don't know why there aren't more videos about it.

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Tim! Yeah the Diesel is legit for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@timbo749]

​@@mountainbuckGreat vid!, I can't believe the Vital is heavier .😮

[@trophyhunter8615]

Great comparison video buddy. We enjoyed it

[@mountainbuck]

Thank you Trophy Hunter! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@masterofmanythings1]

Bought the deisel x months ago and love it. K.i has great customer service as well. Side note don't use the standard bolts, use heavier ones to preserve limb life

[@mountainbuck]

Hey MasterofManyThings! Thanks for the input 👍🏻

[@QdMaster]

Good to know, the factory ones I bought actually lost half thier feathers just sitting in the box un fired....

[@ArmyK5Guy]

What do you recommend

[@QdMaster]

I love my diesel x. The scope is pretty sweet, if you have different bolts setup with different weights, like for turkey and deer etc the scope has a speed setting, as long as you know the flight speed of the bolt when you adjust the scope it changes the distance between the reticle distances so they are always on point at your yardage! Love it!

[@mountainbuck]

Thanks for adding your perspective 👍🏻

[@DougGrotler-lf2cu]

I have the Fatal-X model, and it seems to be an awesome X-bow. It is a very easy bow to cock and it's accuracy surprises me!

[@mountainbuck]

Yeah that’s a nice one! I’ve checked it out. Thanks for the input! 👍🏻

[@driftlesshunter9200]

Seems like all the Killer Instincts crossbows (X series) have similar front ends. That would include the Vital X, Fatal X, Diesel X, and Swat X1. Since the Vital X & Diesel X are the same width uncocked (10.375"), the difference in cocked width may be the powerstroke length. The Vital X has a powerstroke of 14.25", & the cocked width is 6.75". The Diesel X has a powerstroke of 15", and the cocked width is 6.25". The Fatal X, however, has a shorter 13.5" powerstroke & same 6.25" cocked width. The Fatal X achieves that with higher poundage. Likewise, the Vital X is at a slightly higher poundage than the Diesel X to achieve the same 405 fps speed. What I find interesting - regardless of the poundage & powerstroke all four "X" type KI crossbows shoot 405 fps.

[@mountainbuck]

Hey DriftlessHunter! Excellent breakdown and information! Thanks for sharing that. Really good stuff. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@jonathanyates5198]

Still loving my Vital X!

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Jonathan! Great to hear and thanks for watching! 👍🏻

[@MicahHarford]

I understand that there's a narrow and a wide version. Do both of these use the same cocking-crank attachment?

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Micah! Both of these take the Narrow Sled Crank. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@Assumerevents]

Very nice review 👍🏻🦾

[@mountainbuck]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that 👍🏻

[@paultrimble9390]

Im have rewatch trying to chat took me to google learn to stream. What are there Any fish in there. Only streamin ill be doing is fly fishing 🎣. Stock any trout in that stream. Fall stockings right around the corner lol. Look out cranberry. Trout fall stocking and bow season with a fatal x, who am I kidding. Be lucky if get diesel or fatal X. But either of 4 be good. 4 ,4 you say yeah swat X1 fine for me too lol Great stream, well i think it was. sounded good lol. Im go back watch again to see what one i should get. i have the speed ring scope bought new 3,4 years ago. Going put it on crossman dpms full auto bb slinger. Didnt put it on it. I did put it on recurve style crossbow jaguar last fall. Can hit golf ball 20 yards.about everytime. But thats about as far as it will go . 25 to 30 max yards shooting mart of walls 20" bloodsports and mossy oaks arrows 100 grain tips. Does good for less than 30 yards and got two almost new one for 110ish last fall. At local pawn. i want something that will have the capability to sling arrow 80-100 yards. So if i ever take 50 maybe 60 yard shot max i know if make good shot be no problems getting there. And doing it under 500-600 bucks would be great.300 to 400 be awesome deal. I Love ur crossbow reviews there really good. Well I've rambled on enough for this comment. Catch ya next episode. Stay safe keep ur arrows straight and on target 🎯. From ur ole hillbilly buddy. No bo like a xbow.

[@mountainbuck]

Good Stuff Paul! Yeah you really can’t beat these for the price. That speedring scope you have might be a nice upgrade if you end up getting the Vital. It’s only $399 on Amazon. Best of luck this season 🦌👍🏻

[@pjbiggleswerth8903]

How many ftlbs do those bolts carry? Is that what they're called? Bolts? Arrows lol? 🏹

[@mountainbuck]

Hey PJ! These Hypr Bolts are 390 grains total weight with 100 grain point. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@michaelowen6197]

No adjustable butt stock, Major fail on Vital X. I’ve had crossbows a lot cheaper than the Vital X that were adjustable.

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Michael, there are of course, cheaper crossbows out there. However, it is a challenge to find one this compact that shoots over 400 FPS. Let me know if you find one.

[@donwilson350]

man bud you got this review all messed up the diesel X's a pound heavier than the vital x the diesel x has a longer Powerstroke than the vital x but the weight you've got absolutely wrong and the diesel x has 180 lb limbs the vital x has 185 lb limbs

[@mountainbuck]

Hey Don, check the Killer Instinct website: killerinstinctcrossbows.com - That has the most up-to-date information regarding the weight of each crossbow. The Vital is 7.8 lbs and the Diesel is 7.4 lbs. you might have had old info. thanks for watching.

[@jimowens381]

I think the Diesel X is way to front heavy

[@mountainbuck]

Hey some guy! I mounted my foregrip all the way to the end of the rail to help with that. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@bhebert62482]

Bought the Vital x and this morning opening day I’m sitting in my blind and hear a loud crack. One of my limbs snapped after maybe being shot 10 times. Hunt ruined and not happy

[@mountainbuck]

Oh no!!! Sorry to hear that!! Please reach out to KI customer service!!!

[@bhebert62482]

@@mountainbuck thanks buddy. It was a brutal sound to hear first thing in stand. I’m reaching out first thing tomorrow morning
