      Most of the time, you just have to keep your firearms/ammo locked up without her being able to access them, to be legal. Check your state laws first. Biometrics, finger print/retina scan, is ideal. Two other options would be; 1. Any fiream that uses black powder. Pistols, rifles, shotguns that have to be loaded manually by using a
      2 or more steps. Think Revolutionary/Civil War era weapons. These devices can be delivered straight to your front door with no background checks, because they are not considered "firearms" by the aft.(Lulz) Some pistols actually can fire modern cartridges with the addition of a special cylinder adapter. Black powder does have a learning curve and can be somewhat tedious, but there is plenty of videos and info out there, that will help you tremendously. 2. Air rifles have come a long way! Check out some YT vids and you will see. The caliber selection is insane!. Big bore air rifles that range from .50 cal up to .72 cal!(Yes I'm aware that the period before the number identifies the caliber! I only used the caliber abbreviation, for those who aren't familiar with the American/Standard of caliber reference. Also, it's for all the jerkoff trolls.) Air rifles can also be suppressed without any aft bullsh*t as well. Several videos show wild hogs being taken down with 1 shot. Hope this helps add to your choices. Cheers

    For those that are comparing this to the Mey Interceptor, this is what I have gathered so far:
    Pros to the Interceptor:
    - Slightly more powerful at the same limb power
    - Larger magazine capacity (18 vs 7 or 12)
    - Can take any bolts (this is a big one)
    - Bottom loaded magazine means top rail is closer to groove
    Pros to Revo7:
    - Looks more compact and breaks down smaller
    - Appears much easier to cock due to leverage
    - Slightly Cheaper (but cancelled out by cost of bolts)
    - True dry fire protection
    - Lockable trigger
    Negatives to Interceptor:
    - Larger... Though this is only slight?
    - No dry fire protection, but can handle dry firing even at 120lb so is slightly negated
    Negatives to Revo7:
    - Only takes proprietary bolts; this is a big negative for cost
    The power stats I got from both videos:
    Interceptor: 30lb, 8.4J. 60lb, 16J. 90lb, 24J. 120lb 33J.
    Revo7: 30lb, 7.8J. 60lb, 13.8J. 90lb, 24.6J. 120lb 27.8J.
    There were FPS numbers for Revo7, but none for Interceptor. Would be nice if this was consistent.
    Unknowns:
    - Accuracy at different ranges, both look pretty good to be honest. From the video a balloon was hit at 50m with the revo7, which the Interceptor was only tested to 30m and he landed 3 shots and missed 1 on a larger target. It looks like the Revo7 is more accurate, but then its unfair as the Interceptor was using the cheapest training bolts available.
    - Ergonomics and feel (e.g. Stinger ergonomics are generally reviewed as being better than Vlad)
    - How much size difference is there between the two? Dimensions and weight
    Revo7 got more accuracy testing while the Interceptor got more penetration testing; would be good to see a consistent comparison between the two if possible?

      That magazine is revolutionary. No longer the draw length is limited by the length of the bolt. Since most "pistol" sized is limited because the tip of the bolt may chew on the bow string going down. You can 3d print an adapter to a full size crossbow(with a power stroke 3x more than the bolt length) and maybe push for higher speeds. Heck you can slap that to the adder's rail and use an even longer power stroke.

    The Revo 7 would be a lot of fun for recreational shooting and hunting small game. I would imagine that it could also take down a deer or wild boar as long as you didn’t hit a large bone. I’m just not sure if it would penetrate the rib bones. I like to see it tested on something equaling the density of rib bones of deer and boars.

    • @chadh3441

      Well, I know archery hunting regulations for deer in AL, had a minimum of 48 lbs draw weight for recurve/long/compound bows. At least this was the standard regulation in the 1990's. Crossbows were illegal to hunt with until just a few years ago unless you had a specific type of handicap. I have no clue as to what the current crossbow regulation is, regarding the minimum draw weight for hunting deer. I would check your local state laws or the state where you are hunting. Cheers

      @MrMatthewhg Місяць тому +1

      As a general rule of thumb, responsible hunters in the USA generally advise a minimum of 15 ft/b K/e for small game and 25 ft/lb for medium game.
      This would make it fine for one but insufficient for the other with the 90 and 120 lb limbs, at the given bolt weight.

The Adder can also go upto 190ib limbs whereas the Revo 7 appears to be limited to 120ibs which may be the result of having less leverage on the clocking lever. Either way this looks like a great crossbow but I wouldn't consider it over the Adder (hopefully a future iteration of the Adder will come with a similar magazine though.

    As an owner of 1 Siege, 2 Adders and 1 Vlad I say that IMO the look is very nice but totally secondary. The arming mechanism seems nice, but clearly it is all to be seen its functionality and stress resistance. Moreover this new xbow uses some all new non-standard parts (the bow and the bolts), so it has NO back compatibility with the other EK products. At least Steambow had the decency to make its M10 model fully usable with the modular bases of its old products. Last but no least, at 400+ buck the price is (always IMO, obviously) simply crazy. Ah, BTW, how was the story that the Mey Interceptor was a superior Xbow because it has a bottom-feed magazine?🤔

    13:18 as the saying goes - there is no such thing as can't.
    If the path for the pump action is long enough and correctly geared, it should work just as easily with a pump action mechanism. It may be that a pumping distance of 30 or 40 cm is necessary for this, but it should definitely be possible with the right gearing.

Especially because then, both the red dot and the laser sight would fit easily on the picatinny rail.

    Very beautiful pistol crossbow! For real!! But 250 fps is still too slow imo. I believe 280/290 fps is a must (like the adder, even if it has shorter power stoke) otherwise you can’t even hunt with it, and spend 700-800 euros for the whole kit just for recreational purpose on your backyard is not affordable imo. Are you planning to release stronger limbs??? (like the 190 venom extreme for the adder) In this case I will be really glad to give you my money!

      @averageoutdoorsman9342 4 місяці тому +1

      Absolutely not. With field points, you can achieve flight stability with no fletching. In fact, a properly tuned bow will be tuned with field points and no fletching. However, after tuning, when adding a broadhead (especially two blade broadheads), you want to add fletchings to maintain the stability achieved by the bareshaft tuning. The fletchings only help to maintain stability during times of turbulence during flight. Two fletchings are ample for stability on many properly tuned bows.
      Edited to add that three fletcbings will mask an un tuned bow by "correcting" the flaws in the tuning process. However an experienced archer can watch the arrow fly and know that the bow is not properly tuned.

      @aaronbest747 at long range the arrow will have more time to "experience" turbulence. Thus you absolutely want fletching for all ranges of shooting. My point is that the stability is not "created" by the fletching. It is created by the tuning of the bow. The fletcbings should only be maintaining that stability. Always shoot with fletched arrows.
      A short/super high speed bolt also doesn't require as much surface area of fletching to maintain the stability as a relatively slow moving wobbly arrow does.
