I stopped shooting thorns because they won’t replace blades any more, and the price. Sevr packaging is amazing. They will run a buy 6 get one free and the blade replacement is pretty simple and affordable. Just seeing your thoughts and if you have looked into those yet or not?

I haven’t. I have to stick with thorn until someone makes something similar that has zero protrusion from the blades until impact. The high speed of the bows can’t have the wind interference. It creates big challenges for consistency in grouping. They definitely look like great broadheads.

@@zumaconcepts1200 I shoot my sevrs out of ghost 420 previously which has way less blades exposed than rage. I shot them out of my ghost 420 up to 60 yards hunting successfully. Pass through heart shot. And that was free handed. I even attempted an 86 yard shot where I missed low… I was attempting to guys yardage as the crossbow I had, the farthest pin was at 70 yards. I had no deflection of flight or anything. Just hit low. Again free handed shot. And the arrow buried with a flat line of impact. I can test it out at 100 yards and let you know if that’s something you’re curious of?

@@zumaconcepts1200 you can also buy sevr individually for testing. They have a set screw when shooting into targets. So will let you know if it’s due to early deployment of blades. Or if it was actually the little tabs. But I haven’t had any issues at 420fps. My ravin r29x shoots at 450. So will have to see how they will do. But i strongly recommend taking a look. I believe $15-$17 for one head. To me it’s worth trying for ya. Especially considering the upside.

@@michigangrownoutdoors7254 thank you for all this information. I will have to give them a try.

Best of luck. I’m sure you will be good. I’m very particular about my results. Beyond necessary. Hahah have a good one.

So… It depends on your bow. Mine in this video shoots 420 fps. The penetration at 100 yards is more than enough. I have not shot a deer further than 85 yards with this setup but it was a straight pass through at 80.

First of all thank you for your support. Second, I used limb savers and didn’t see much of a difference. They actually kept falling out no matter how tight they were in there. I eventually removed them because I was concerned it was affecting my accuracy. So long story short I don’t personally think there is a good option other than shooting from inside a sound deadening blind. It is one of the sacrifices of the performance in this case. Range needs speed and speed makes noise.

Up to 12 days. I cut the hide down the spine and chest and peal each side separately. Works great.

The scope I have on the video is no longer available. Here is something similar amzn.to/4eggsGq Also I have a full how to video on my channel. ua-cam.com/video/JErK7u0RQLM/v-deo.htmlsi=-IQAz2YUR1hWXjOw

That’s awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!! I’m happy to have helped!

Thank you for the follow up

You can order it from Ravin.

You have to order it from Ravin. They aren't cheap. Mine wasn't anyway.

@@brandondauzat6992 you can use the link I added. They are expensive but you can get them on Amazon.

Check my other video out on cam lean. It might be your issue. Usually that is the cause for one side in and one side out. People will say “as long as it’s in there it’s good” I disagree I make sure it is dead center on both sides. It counts for consistency. ua-cam.com/video/u-tq_b_gTsw/v-deo.htmlsi=45ir3GRS4siVwi3R

Everyone that does use them say if you have a brand new string they work fine. I personally don’t trust it, but if they’re working for you, that’s great.

Yes.

@@zumaconcepts1200 I've killed one 8 point with THORN RIFT... how have they performed for u on deer ? I switched to SWAT X-MAG HYBRID (COC) 4BLADE after sending the 2 blade RIFT Just under a big bucks heart & I think if I'd had a 4 blade I would have had a dead deer cause I would have clipped the bottom of the heart I want to believe...

I have never lost a deer using them. They perform extremely well with the modification I recommend.

20”

Yea. That would be a good fix for that. Thank you for input.

I just checked them out. They don’t have any significant differences from the standard version. Maybe more durable to the point you can use them a second time… They definitely look cool.

Exactly!!👍

No problem. Feel free to reach out anytime. My email is in the description.

For starters, thanks for checking out all the videos and I appreciate your compliments. I would stick with Ravin brand nocks. The main reason I say that is it’s the most critical part of ensuring that the bow fires correctly and safely. My other videos will show you how you can change things out as far as the arrow goes, but I never mess with the nocks. It’s a far too important piece of the puzzle to mess around with.

@@zumaconcepts1200 did some further research online it seems that you can use things like the Firenocks but you “must” have a fresh string. The Raven nocks indent the string creating a loose fit and apparently the fresh string resolves this. However I still think clicking on the string like Raven has done will create more consistency and accuracy. So I’m forging ahead with your recipe.

I couldn’t agree more. Well said.

@@zumaconcepts1200 quick question. I tried installing the Ravin lighted nocks. It they don’t seem to insert all the way into the bushing. Is there a trick I’m missing?

@@LoweKeyPewPew-px9bk no trick. It’s one of the things I dislike the most about the lighted nocks. They are very tight and difficult to turn off because of that. If you try to sand the nock down or the bushing open be very careful, if it isn’t perfect it will mess with the accuracy. I quite using lighted nocks for all of these reasons plus without them my groups went from 10 inches at 100 to about 4. I have 5 lighted nocks sitting here if you want them. Just shoot me your address and I will ship them your way. For free!

I buy aftermarket nock bushings and use the Ravin nocks. I actually quite using lighted nocks because they cause an inconsistent pattern in the arrows. You can find the bushings on line through this guy on FB. I have his link in my description.

Thank you for the info. Have a safe season.

Great to hear! Thanks for the post!!

You could be right. I used my video somewhere to indicate sound levels at the point of impact. I’m definitely not going to challenge your math... The way I tested it and recorded it, it should work. But maybe do some of your own testing to be sure. Thank you for watching and sharing your knowledge.

I don’t know much about the fire nocks. I recommend not using them. I stick with Ravin brand nocks. Sorry I can’t be more help.

I apologize. That was an old link. I had some made but I found someone that was selling them for less than I could. I updated the link. Should be good to go now when you look it up in the description.

It was used in a flower shop prior to the conversion. It’s definitely bad to the bone. It was a great build that was very useful. I would check local auctions. You can usually find them for pretty decent prices.

Build Ravin Crossbow Bolts .001 Same Weight and Flex, Re-flech Ravin Bolts, Nock in, Vane Master Pro ua-cam.com/video/7Bxb69PIUaA/v-deo.html This video contains much more detail on the topic.

Are you comparing them to the .001 precision arrows from Raven? This video is to build your own precision arrows not the standard arrows.

Glad it was helpful!

Sounds like a great setup!!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Wow, you really made a mountain out of an ant hill there didn’t you sir. The data was collected from an article written about compound bows and I use the exact same information to make the comparison to Bose then versus Bose now. Don’t shoot the messenger. I just read the article and translated to equipment being used now. Further, I’m not telling anyone to shoot deer at any range that’s their choice. Thanks for watching. Have a good one.

Yea. There are a lot of cool uses for a drone. My preference is a second IPhone with a tripod and FaceTime. Real time feed of the shot. Be safe out there. Thanks for watching!!

That works too.

I’m happy it helped. Have a good one!

Awesome!

R15

No. It is a custom setup on an R15. The sniper pack is very similar.

I don’t use any lighted nocks. I simply looked into a product that was being talked about. With the nock being the primary source of failure on Ravin arrow builds I’m comfortable with the information I have provided. Thank you for your input.

Yes you could hook it up to the battery. I wanted it to be 110 so I could use it with the generator in less steep loading applications.

No problem.

No. The drone has GPS and it transmits to the controller. You would be good to go.

Speed didn’t make a difference. They failed when at 420fps out of my Ravin.

Definitely a great time.

I would ask in your area to be sure. There may be rules on when and how you can use a drone. I don’t want to mislead you, so you should definitely check the rule book and ask the DNR. You might be okay depending on the situation.

I use the same arrows I hunt with for practice. It ensures consistency. Can you clarify what you mean by safe distance to be shooting?

@@zumaconcepts1200 meaning can the arrows be damaged at a certain distance? Should I ever be worried about the arrow reflecting back or being damaged causing broadheads or parts flying off when hitting the targets?

I haven’t experienced any issues with too close and rica shaded. As far as too far… I would only worry about the deer ducking the shot. With your R10 I wouldn’t shoot past 60 yards. I have another video that explains the longer shots. Close shots should be fine.

@@zumaconcepts1200 awesome thanks for the tips!!

I use the HHA dial mount and a CCOP scope. I have videos on my channel about it. ua-cam.com/video/xOBCrdEUHCE/v-deo.htmlsi=_XL-_UilttqnuwGA

Thanks

I like to use JB weld quick set.
