One smallish guy's take on hunting, shooting and outdoor gear. JJ isn't a Navy Seal, but he stayed in a Holiday Inn near the beach once.
Honest Review: Testing TenPoint's Evolutionary TX 440
For years the Ohio-based TenPoint company has produced some of the best crossbows money can buy in terms of quality, accuracy and ease of use. And they might have been somewhat guilty of "If it's not broke, why fix it?" But for 2024, the company debuts two crossbows, the TX 440 and TRX 515 that literally broke its own mold in. These crossbows utilized more modern CNC machining and less molded polymer to produce a new line of X-bows that have more features than ever. In this video, JJ reviews the TX 440, what he believes is the current sweet spot in terms of speed vs. accuracy.
Whiles it's likely the all-around best crossbow for hunters that TenPoint has ever produced--which means it's likely the best crossbow ever produced, period, surprisingly it's not the company's most expensive. That doesn't mean it is cheap.
JJ's purpose here is to make sure you know what you are buying, and what to expect, before you buy. View the whole video to see the unboxing and discovery process and testing protocols, or just watch the conclusion.
The bottom line is that it's fast, quiet, accurate and has multiple features that have been improved to bring the serious crossbow hunter a bow he or she can depend on. If you have any questions, be sure and ask JJ in the comments. He is beholden to nobody except you, the viewer. Thanks for watching!

RAVIN R18 Full (HONEST) Review
Переглядів 3,8 тис.6 місяців тому
Ravin's R18 from 2022 changed the crossbow game in terms of compactness which is commonly thought to be the crossbow's biggest drawback to hunters. For its radical design that departs from tradition and incredible engineering, JJ gives the R18 due credit. But as you'll see in this video, after full testing and in-the-field hunting use, he hopes the R18 is a launch pad from which Ravin will laun...

That’s a sweet looking crossbow
I like your in-depth Videos on the coverage of the Specs tords potential consumer/buyer ..well done on the Viper 400...I Hope You have the Time with your professional experience to Go over The Newer 430 Viper X-bow ...I'm looking forward to it ...Great Job ... 👍 Thanks
1st mistake gun too big. 2nd mistake not keeping it in your pocket. 3rd mistake don't put your self in a situation you can't easily draw from unnoticed. Play the unarmed victim back up then draw un noticed.
Hats off to you Sir. Great video.
Loved the video. Photos from customer looked really familiar. Lol
Wow. I'm impressed in so many ways, but overall is your thoughtful nature on what you know and don't. And you know a lot more then me, so I learned a lot. Merci
Uh... Mr. Rudy Etchen entered the chat and then promptly and politely walked out smiling about oh 50 years ago.
The first shot is tighter than the second, assuming the attacker would be closing on the defender. The right way to test is first shot farther, second shot closer. I carried these for many years before Kimber got involved. The manufacturer is Piexon, and the original product was the Guardian Angel, without pistol grip or sights.
Thank you for doing this, I've never hunted in my life and would like to. I don't have alot to spend on a rifle and ammo. Thank you for showing this it helps me understand what not to waste money on
Pass through is not better dog
6:59 you can actually pull it back with your thumb still through the hole, at least in SA config.
I paid as much attention as I could trying to multitask this morning, but did I miss the push pull method?
Do you feel any sciatica pain?
🇮🇱👍💋🤗❤️👌🇺🇸
Most right handed people will use the left hand as their distance keeper. So they can punch or use the right. I like the idea of the back carry tho for a lot of scenarios. I think you could train some good sneaky draws plus if you have to suck for cover you can get to it.
For those who dont already know Wyvern Creations gives a lot of extras when buying this bow. 6 more arrows , a case, broadheads. Great place and best prices on crossbows, and tax free
Good info! Thanks!!
Great info indeed!
I want this bow so bad, but my wife would literally kill me seeing how i already have 3 Tenpoint bows.
The struggle is real!
@@BullShooterswithJeffJohnston I ordered it, lol
@@iBleedStarsAndBars Atta boy!!! lol I don't have any skin in the game, so not trying to sell product. But I believe you bought the best crossbow, all around, that money can buy. Please let me know what you think about it, after you have it set up and doped out. I'm just one guy and I'd love to have more data. I'd say bite the bullet and order some extra arrows! Also, for hunting, i recommend Sevr broadheads. Titanium, go with the 150 grain. They actually quiet the bow and are tough. They're the only mechanical I'll shoot with a crossbow now, and you really need mechanicals after about 350 fps because fixed blades start flying squirrely. They lock open after impact too, and can be locked so you can sight in with them. Just my 02.. but man they are pricey!
Great review on the Yildiz. I would add CZ and Weatherby to the list and I must also give Tri Star a shout out.
Thanks again for your fantastic and honest review. I’m seriously considering it.
My pleasure sir. Thanks for watching.
Dude... you think spraying gasoline into your lake (or somebody else's lake) is a good idea?
If they say made in USA they should use all USA parts including scope. Great review as all ways. I watch your reviews before I buy there the ones I can trust.
The scope is a tough one. Only a few American optics companies and all of them are expensive. Thank you for the kind words!!
5/21/2024-Jeff great review. I am buying a TX for my son. Really nice review. I had a Ten Point 505, took 3 nice bucks, and I am looking for a smaller crossbow for myself also. I may consider a TX or TRX. thanks for the review. Terry - Pittsburgh Pa area
My pleasure sir. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
"A perfectly Average shot" LMFAO!
This guy has a serious hate on for Türkiye.
Technique is probably the biggest thing to consider… training
Good video glad you got the ranch fairy and rocket man to help with your testing. Was you shooting field tips or broadheads in your tests? Shooting around 475 grain arrows "bolts" and my crossbow is quieter and its easier on the longevity of the crossbow.
You discuss a lot of good points and offer great tips on how to reduce felt recoil when shooting a shotgun. I shoot 12-gauge slugs 90% of the time and I'm sure these tips will help me shoot more comfortably. I've just added 1/2 inch to my LOP to improve my sight positioning, but I think it might reduce felt recoil a little too. I may try a LimbSaver recoil reduction pad at some point as well.
Great Review!!! Worth the price!
Cool
it really isn't hard to prove, you dump the same energy in a really short distance with a greater force or longer distance with a lower force. any spring element in the equation will reduce the amount of force the shooter is exposed to but the total energy won't change. very similiar to automotive suspension.
Although I've heard it's perfectly safe appendix Carrie scares the hell out of me I always picture that gun going off into my femoral artery
There is a reason why .300 Blackout (7.62 x 35) has gotten popular since its introduction around 2009. It pushes past the limitations of 5.56 x 45. It can use 85 to 220 grain bullets, and the 110 grain supersonic rounds work well for hunting medium game using most of the standard AR-15 components. I used to have a .300 Blackout but I sold it off for a 7.62 x 39 AR-15. 7.62 x 39 is not as versatile as .300 Blackout but it is cheaper and it allows me to get more ammunition.
I disagree that the x39 isn't as versatile. If you hand load you can load up to 220gr. Unfortunately there just isn't as much load data due to lack of interest.
hard to buy a Mossberg, my first shotgun was a Mossberg back in the late 70s, it was crap, swore I'd never buy one again.
I understand that! Tough to dive back into the bath that burned you.
Why xbows suck!
haha!
I love this video Jeff.
Thanks Mike!
Thanks for sharing this. I feel pretty good about carrying in side the belt, 4 o’clock . I’m left side dominant. Easy to draw left handed from the back for me. Secondary I draw with my right hand from the front. By moving my pistol, say to around 3 o’clock I can manage to comfortably sit in my vehicle. Not so keen on appendix carry for all the obvious reasons.
I get a lot of crap for this video. Guys saying I'm going to fall on my back, when I can fall on my head at any time!
Can we switch the stock ?
sure
I still try to get a fast bow so I can use a heavy arrow and have more ke and momentum. I know for deer sized game, it doesn’t matter too much but for elk and moose which I go after every year, it’s just an insurance policy.
I can't argue with that. I think the key is finding the heaviest weight that you can also pull when you're cold, tired and in a bad drawing position, as often happens when hunting.
Great video, very informative. 👍🏻
Well done! I appreciate your respect for the wildlife.
Great review Jeff... having two xbows and being a tent hunter . . . I can absolutely agree with all of your criticisms....this for sure is a revolutionary bow. You are absolutely right, it should be reviewed by a serious hunter, from the field, and dont hold back. Cuddos. Pay attention Ravin . . .
Excellent explanation. You did in less than 4 minutes what many UA-camrs take more than 20 minutes to explain.
Whatever happened to Small arms technologies?
The proprietor, a genius of a man, died. He was the one that made the UTS 15 shotgun, as well as high end side-by-side shotguns and everything in between. Ted Hatfield was a one of a kind. His nephews are trying to run the company, but I'm not sure how it's going. I haven't heard anything from them in quite some time.
What happened to Small arms technologies. Did they close their doors?
Full review please!
You can read the full article in May's issue of American Rifleman magazine. I lost my video editor and am running behind on the videos. But I'll try to get it out.
@BullShooterswithJeffJohnston understood and I appreciate the response!
I think the 725 Browning Feather 12 gauge I bought with 26 inch long barrels is my all around shotgun. At 6 pounds and 7 ounces I use Trulock blackened stainless steel ported extended improved cylinder and improved modified chokes making overall barrel length about 27 inches. My legacy shotgun.
Man I appreciate your video, very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Dude you should have a few Wilson combat 10rd magazines by now if you Ben playing with 1911 for a wild now
oh I do! but i try to use the factory supplied stuff in the videos.
Does your hat have Korean characters on it? 😮
Great video….but the background music was very distracting.
