Bunjie (The O.B.) is a 2010 Excalibur Axiom Crossbow. After more than a decade of killing deer, hogs, squirrels, woodchucks, and even a bear, Bunjie is now semi-retired. Enter Bunjie III (or Bunjie '21, Bunjie 3.0, The Slick Black Cadillac of Crossbows) a 2021 Scorpyd Deathstalker 420, the result of trying various models and looking at dozens of them online for characteristics I liked. It is, in fact, a gift from a Friend of Bunjie, which goes to show how important Friends of Bunjie are to this channel and what an impact they can have. Bunjie III is a testament to modern crossbows, producing over .7 slugs of momentum and almost 140 ft-lbs of kinetic energy with stock arrows--at nearly 400 fps!
Bunjie, Jr., is my daughter Genevieve's crossbow, an Excalibur Micro Suppressor 355. This crossbow was also a much appreciated gift from a Friend of Bunjie, and it changed Death by Bunjie forever by inspiring Genevieve to become a part of our story as a second-generation crossbow hunter, and it also convinced me there is a benefit to a newer, faster crossbow (see our 2020 Maryland Doe Hunt).
Again, I am not sponsored by these companies. I am sponsored by Friends of Bunjie! (I'm not asking for gifts whatsoever--please don't feel like you should send me stuff! But I do appreciate the support I've received over the years! I'm just trying to express my appreciation for that.)
This channel is the result of combining my interest in filming and hunting...and music, too! My related channel, Yankee Militia, showcases my music. Some of the music is hunting-related, so check that out, too! The soundtrack for this channel is provided by my band, so the two are intertwined. The albums "Live Free or Kill" and "Zombies Gotta Eat, Too!" are available on Amazon.com and elsewhere. A third album is in the works.
All Hail Bunjie!

What are you using for the Swat replacement Strings and Cables?
A new set from the same company, the ones they sell now are the right ones. I bought this extra set when I bought the crossbow. Unfortunately it's not uncommon for manufacturers to put stuff out there without them being thoroughly tested in this day and age, I guess. But it really likes the sets they sell now.
Rich! I hope you read this comment~ Because of your review I laid aside my Ravin R26 and bought this bow. Also bought the Trident pure silicone grease, and too found it very hard to apply. So, I went in and found one of my older bolts, looked through my gun cleaning attachments and found a "30 cal." swab that actually screwed right into my bolt! Long story short - cocked the bow, dipped the swab in the grease, ran it up the rail track one time, totally lubed the rail areas needing lube, job done! Swab can be removed from the bolt, placed in a small plastic baggie and can be attached to your uncocking bolt in seconds, totally transportable resolution to lubing the rail on this magnificently designed bow. All that said, I still have my R26, however this bow seems much more "carry friendly" and love the added bonus of foot stirrup serving as a stand. Watch all your and Genevieve's videos I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to them. Thanks for your efforts!
Hey stwrtscot The purchase of the swat will not disappoint!
I do have a challenge for you however. Get a B E Zombie S and cut it down to 17” add a lighted nock and a 150gr..swhacker. Forgot to mention a 80gr brass insert and everything should be just inside the limbs
Mine are darts with over 20% foc
I'll try this and let you know~@@MichaelLakota-vc4tk
Looks like to .much .one and work..an excall you only need a spare string and get out there. Many yrs never changing scope. String. String up night b4 and go fill a tag. And no worries of SHTF BECAUSE IF ITS NOT AN Excalibur. Ya got to Cary a heavy annoying press a string can do. Yep I'll say it again.everhthing is work and garbage. Buy all those older Excalibur's👉🧠🧠
SHTF and your battery dies on you.. your ass not be in my squad. And I'll use my 75 grains. Just don't be an enemy.🤷
That crossbow set up is definitely worth the BUCKS pun intended.😊
Lol indeed 😄
Rich I must say, I just ran across your channel about a week & a half ago & I'm addicted to your videos w/your dry yet hilarious humor as you seemingly 'naturally' add; along with your daughter as your sidekick (Very cool), while giving such fantastic & detailed 411 plus sincerely am impressed by your personal replies to as many of your responses as possible. BTW both nice bucks with your shhhweeet new X/Bow Setup man💯 I'm looking up that scope setup as soon as I quit typing my reply. Luv your shows, keep em 'coming 👍 - JW, Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
Well, thanks for this! Hope to keep them coming. Good luck down there!
Those SWAT Magnum broadheads are awesome too! Shot a deer a couple of years ago and made a small fist size hole in a deer
Thank you for putting out teching quality and entertaining videos.
Terrific!!! Thank you for the info about the arrows
Thanks for the tips. Very informative.
Rich, another great video, I really appreciate your candid and honest opinions.
Very nice info. Thank you.
Great video, I have to get one for myself. Thanks for the series of fantastic crossbow videos you shared with everyone, they were very informative, and I look forward to more of them.
Awesome video, thanks for all your research and honest opinions.
Thank you for this, and for understanding that really I'm not trying to sell anybody anything but I'm really impressed with something and when I like a piece of gear, I will tell people about it LOL
Awesome video Rich! Mine (Xena) took a nice PA rifle doe today. Crossbow perfection indeed. Glad I could help you with the S&C change. Thanks for the shout outs and the awesome battery tool. It makes it SOOOO much easier to get that blasted cap back on. 😃👍
I bought the swat x1 on ur recommendation and I love it took my second deer with a crossbow this season. It is very accurate out to 60 yards with the scope that comes with it
That's great, I am also very happy to hear about the scope! Congrats on the deer too.
I’m happy for you man I just can’t seem to get away from my excaliburs mag340 been great and my new 380 loving it too
Thanks for the info. I really need that tool for the Burris . Great video. been working so much. I can’t get out myself but I will try. I just have until December.
The link is in the description for that tool, not too pricey! Good luck if you get out and I hope you do soon. I know all about working too much these days haha
This will be my first time hunting big game by the way
Good luck!
when you were looking into a new crossbow and bought the scorpyd i had recommended the x-1 as i knew you would love it. Glad you got some good bucks off it.
I really liked the SWAT XP back when I was trying out all those different crossbows, but wasn't allowed to shoot one at the shop I went to. For that reason I didn't look any further until I shot the X1 that a friend owned. I was hooked from day one I think. Lol.
All Hail Bungie! I got my first buck yesterday! 7 point. Right after i took the shot with my crossbow, i heard your after-shot music playing in my head. Thanks for teaching me enough to get my first buck!
LOL that's fantastic, congratulations!
My son and I had a great first ever crossbow hunt in Indiana with the Killer Instinct Boss 405, and harvested two beautiful bucks. We chose the Swhacker broadheads because of your videos and they performed perfect. Had it not been for your channel and website I don’t know if we’d have been so successful. Thank you, looking forward to more informative videos.
P.S. since we flew from Alaska I didn’t like the size of crossbow hard cases so I took my crossbow apart and put it in a double rifle case. After putting it back together we checked zero and it was spot on.
That's great to hear, congratulations!
Sweet bow
I’m very excited for you in finding such success with this rig! Lightweight, smooth handling and great performance.
Aren’t crossbows awesome!
Indeed!
I suspect (Jim) one-eyed archer is one of those guys who can fix anything.
Ha! I wish! 😂
I'm using custom bolts from brokholder archery an they like 2 inches shorter but they still stick out enough to stab or cut u . So I will trim them up a little. Thank u for info. I bow hunt for 40 years but this crossbow stuff is new to me.
I have been shooting an Excalibur since the 405 came out. It has shot nine bucks since my wife got it for me on our anniversary. I had to replace the limbs after the first year and it's been good since. I'm now looking for a new one and I think it's going to be a mission the main reason is because they put bearings in the cams instead of the limbs I don't know of any other crossbow that does that including ten point or raven that's how I made my choice it should last me the rest of the time I have left. I love listening to your videos keep it up thanks .
Had a limb coming apart on my two year old K.I. Ripper 425. So bow shop did a trade plus a little cash and I got the Vital X. I like it better. Also bought the Death grip. Have a great day
I do like that Vital X, good luck 👍
The smaller size has been so handy for me in the treestand. That alone was worth the purchase.
I had no idea all these years how helpful the smaller footprint is
Thank you for putting out very in-depth videos I'm a beginner crossbow Hunter first time ever i purchased a Killer Instinct crossbow Fiery 400 for 200 bucks at bass pro shops seen a lot of UA-cam videos on all the other ones play the only UA-cam video I received from the manufacturer on mine but not from the real other people that bought one did I make a goodbye or a not very good bye but thank you so much for your intake have a good blessed week to you and your family Daytona Beach Florida Mikey😊 and if anyone can let me know about that if it's good or bad
Nothing wrong with that crossbow in my opinion, for $200 that's a pretty good deal! Good luck out there!
@@Deathbybunjie thank you sir yeah I feel a little bit more confident that it'll work good love watching your videos keep up the good work I just started watching your channel so I watch a lot of yours that are years ago good luck on your new job look forward to new videos have a good blessed week my friend all hail Bungie🤘🤘🤘🤙🤙🤙
@@Deathbybunjie Mikey Daytona Beach Florida
Check out some g5 megameat broadheads! I bought a new 400fps crossbow and am amazed at the performance with the megameats!
all hail bunjie
Indeed!
Rich - that’s a hell of a blaze you’ve got going on behind you!
It’s a tv lol
@@jeremyskoczelak2262 Yes, i assumed that was the case. Still a hell of a blaze, though.
I’ll put those videos on my tvs during holiday parties for ambiance. But I haven’t found one that blazes like that. Not even the Hallmark Yuletide log!
Great video! Probably too expensive for my social security budget! 🦌
They're coming down in price this time of year and there are other good xbow options out there too
Pile drivers, 150 grn Magnus buzz cuts, mine is pushing 362 ish,hence speed ring setting
Accuracy very good way out there,if need be
Happy Holidays!
Can't beat that!
@@Deathbybunjie No Sir
The Burris Oracle X is the best piece of equipment I own. What a game changer! Also, KI has a sale on the Swat X1 and the case for $799
I agree, game changer for sure! That $799 is a great deal, plus you can get a coupon code and another $100 rebate and get that price down to about $619 I am told!
@@Deathbybunjie wow thanks for sharing
I'm really glad the Swat X1 is working out great for you. Killer Instinct has left such a bad taste in my mouth over the years when it comes to quality control on their crossbows. Having owned 4 different ones and 3 out of the 4 not making it pass say 50 shots on each of them with broken limbs, cables breaking etc. Going from heavy arrows to light arrows, nothing would make them shoot or perform correct for me. Plus, their customer service is non-existence. Heck even their own FB group is mostly issues with the crossbows they make. I just had to look at different companies to see what else was out there. I really like the look and style of the Swat and would love to get one to see how it does but so hard for me to spend the funds on a company that I personally had so many issues with their products in the past.
I totally get that, that's why they make different ones, good luck out there!
I purchased 4 Centerpoint crossbows, the Wrath 430, 2 Wrath 430X's, & an Amped 425- so far no issues with them. Made in Taiwan, so far, so good.
So I bought my new crossbow Wrath 430X and found out quickly I need a new target! My compound target just doesn't stop this bolt. Maybe a video idea could be on crossbow targets for faster crossbows and heavier arrows.
That is a great topic and it is coming during Crossbow Appreciation Month!
Thanks for posting the video. I can’t tell if the serving near the loops on the cams is coming off…they are spread out but not loose. But I think I will get the string replaced. When I get back from my work trip, I’ll bring it to local pro shop that services KI. Kind of disappointing to tell you the truth as I just bought this bow a few months ago but, I guess car manufacturers sell you new cars with tires these days good for about 30k miles max. Nothings ever really “perfect” anymore.
Yeah this isn't the only crossbow with issues right off the shelf either I'm sure but I will tell you that once you get the strings and cables replaced you won't have a problem long term with them if you Lube it well. It seems to be working very very well.
Hey Rich
Nice to see the bubble level installed! Tonight I shot a nice buck at 51 yards with my R500. He was perfectly broadside when I shot. In one shoulder out the other! Perfect right??? I’m shooting my self built arrows at 440gr. With my favorite swhacker 150gr broad heads. What concerns me is that when I field dressed the deer I only had a single lung hit🤔🤔. Never had that happen before. The deer still didn’t even go 60 yards but a single lunge hit is really confusing
How did it get around the other lung? But congratulations!
@@Deathbybunjie Thank you
But we will never know the answers to the elusive lung! lol how ever I do have a theory ,
I will let you know after some research. Have a great day!!
Decided on a Ravin 10X for my first crossbow we’ll see how it handles.
That's a classic for sure! Good stuff, good luck!
I’m a big fan of the Ravins,especially now that I have a press to change strings and cables. The 10X is a proven machine,I’m sure you will be very happy with it!
Hi Rick, just a thought. I am 72 and recovering from cancer surgery. Missed archery season this year for that reason. Looking forward I see a limited number of seasons in my indefinite future. I love my Excalibur crossbows but I think I need to go to something lighter and more compact. I do not want to spend a fortune with it being uncertain if or how much I can expect to hunt going forward. What I would love to see is some reviews (that can be trusted) on lower to mid price range crossbows. I would love to see such reviews from someone trusted - such as yourself and your daughter.
For what it's worth I am having a lot of fun with Killer Instinct this year and they make all variety of prices that's for sure in January we will start looking at new offerings from different companies also
you might be interested in a finnish study archery vs bullet checkout joerg spraves latest upload, also the faster the bow the deeper the arrows goes into the ground. it is very strange that the bruising of the strings didnt get caught before final release of the bow, thats not exaclty quality control, thats what i would call a defective design and should be on them to replace the strings.
How do you choose the other Bunjie family members over this rig now?
I enjoy your dry humor in your videos. I must tell you, I wanted to be a comedian once too, but I was afraid people would laugh at me .
...
😄🤣
Great video rich and congrads on the bucks. My question is on ur schwacker broadheads is it better using 125 gran or 150 gran with 150 lb draw weight. Thanks for ur helpful tips
Accuracy is number one, so make sure you are sighted in for whichever one you choose, but the smaller cutting diameter might be easier to push out the other side of the deer.
Thanks rich for the reply. New to crossbows used to shoot compound. Whats ur option on the Omega III scope looking at a Vital X combo with that scope. Thanks again for all ur helpful information.
My mistake it was fatal X ore the boss 405.
@@EarlScyoc-km2qs I haven't used that scope personally but from what I've read it's a great option, Killer Instinct seems to really like them so they must set up nicely on those crossbows
Thanks again rich.
Could you do a short video about fletching? Went to buy some lumenoks and they had 2" and 3.5" fletching.... hmmmm idk what one is better. pros and cons?
100% will do this this year, I'm gonna make some customs and this is a big part of it
Great video bud hey do u know or recommend company for after market string and cables I have different crossbow than u
I've had really good luck with America's best bow strings over the years
@@Deathbybunjie thanks I will try them for my new strings and cables
Are you attaching the Scorpyd quiver to the X1 or just carrying it in? I still haven't figured out how to attach the quiver that the X1 came with. A big congrats on your very successful season!
Thanks! I just clip that quiver to my bag and then to the treestand or whatever. I don't like them on the crossbow usually.
I also don’t keep my quiver affixed to the bow. Carry it with a pack or use the case to carry it. The case wears as a backpack.
You know your serious when your scope is almost as big as your crossbow!
LOL I know, an interesting combo
@@Deathbybunjie looks very effective.
Nice crossbow I eating my deer tag this year didn't get a deer
Sorry to hear that but hang in there, also hope you had a great time
I started out with a tenpoint vengant 440 and sold it for a tenpoint stealth 450. Love it for turkey but after watching so many archery videos I decided to get a compound. I got the hoyt torrex. It's been very expensive to learn and get the thing dialed in but I'm hitting bullseye at 100 yards now. Have a month left to get my deer. I have 2 tags so I'm going for a doe first and a buck later. Love that you do these videos. I bought a camera and a tactacam that fits under the scope or onthe stabilizer. Kinda shy about filming myself though.
Definitely a benefit to filming the shots...I learn a lot from that and retire before making tracking decisions. 👌 good luck!
@@Deathbybunjie I started to hang a cheap yard sale Go Pro off to the side or down on a ladder rung a couple years ago. I also hunt black powder and the entire shot and aftermath is smoked out, can't see anything. I check go pro before getting out of stand and there is my shot, the aftermath, and where I need to go direction wise tracking the deer later. I would be lost without this tool, and it's great for crossbow for the same reason.
it's close enough to turn in the direction I need, not spooked a deer yet doing it either.
@@jeffhays1968 yes, I totally agree, you can't be having footage to look at before you decide when and where to track, that is a highly underrated benefit of filming!
@@Deathbybunjie Should get a better rig than a yard sale go pro, LOL. Works for me though.
U give a lot good info. I have question. On that crossbow when u have it loaded does the arrow stick out in front of the bow. My wife has raven 26 an it does. It's kinda annoying an little dangerous
Can you shorten the bolts
Even with the long swahacker, I think you can see in some of the videos that it does not stick out past the end. It definitely doesn't go past the stirrup. I know what you mean about safety and I like it the way it is. I don't like it sticking out either!
I cut mine down to 17 inches and they are darts!! Best part is I was able to go heavier with my broad heads without losing speed! Switched to Zombie Slayers too
Would u have a link or name to the racket tool used for set screws?
Try this amzn.to/3QTJD7G
Good luck!
I just watched your rant about Excalibur and have seen some of your other misgivings in other videos. This year I am hunting with my father in laws Horton just to prove that I actually enjoy hunting/want to continue before I drop real money on my own setup. I had been leaning toward Excalibur for the simplicity and so was surprised by your video. Is the whole lineup problematic? Or is it more an issue with their higher speed crossbows like the assassin extreme?
My local archery supply only sells Excalibur because he got tired of dealing with the warrantee on strings from the ultra high speed models from various manufacturers.
Our bad experience was with a 355 micro. New limbs are an improvement maybe? We'll see. But I prefer more speed with a heavier arrow than the excals can provide anyway, and I don't want a crank...so there's that, too. Different strokes for different folks!
So I pre ordered my X1 before they were available. My serial number is 31. I’m still using original strings and limbs. This is my 4th year and I’m just now noticing the right limb is starting to delaminate. I purchased two sets of limbs and strings two yrs ago just in case. I’ll change them out b4 next yr. What strings are you using?
That's still a pretty good run! When I bought the crossbow I bought an extra set of strings and cables. I just put those on and threw the old ones away. The ones that the company sells now are the right ones.
Please tell me, I wish to buy that scope cover but there are 2 sizes to select from. Do you remember whether you chose the 12" to 17" or did you select the 14" to 20" scope cover?
I use the medium, 12 to 17 in, hope that helps!
@@Deathbybunjie, it helps perfectly. Thanks
So when do we get a reverse draw Swat X1?
That is something that people have proposed by the way kind of interesting
What kind of recommendations you give on the Oracle? Out of how many have you had issues. I don’t want to waste money if it has a lot of issues?
The good thing is it has that forever guarantee which means no matter what happens to it they'll replace it or fix it. Forever. Regardless of who owns it. Pretty cool. That being said, I bought two new ones and one refurbished one. One of the new ones started acting funky and they replaced it in 2 weeks. The refurbished one wouldn't power up and they replaced that in 2 weeks. The other new one that I bought still works. So I have three. They are all working fine right now, knock on wood. I've done a bunch of videos on that scope, make sure you watch them before you spend money on them. But I really love them.
@@Deathbybunjie okay thank you so much
Looks like an awesome setup. Alas I live in NY land of crossbow regulations. The Death Stalker would be legal but this setup would earn me a fine lol. Maybe NY will eventually step out of the Dark Ages. Live the fireplace b the way😂
Fireplace lol, yes that's one reason I do like the death stalker, good luck up there!
@@Deathbybunjie Thanks. Took my first decent buck with my xbow this yr.
Have you had any troubles with the scope not range finding in sub 30 degrees?
I have not had the opportunity to use it in those temperatures yet, and not sure I want to haha but I will see soon I'm sure. Have you had issues with it in those temperatures?
@Deathbybunjie Yes, my last three hunts it has quit rangefinding when the scope got too cold.
Central Michigan
Are you at all apprehensive about all the failures, poor customer support etc with Killer Instinct. I'm a lifelong Excalibur guy who ventured into the dark side with a Center Point crossbow and after one short year I scrambled back to Excalibur with my tail tucked. Shit kept me up at night man!
Not really, I think they all have problems these days. The only crossbow we've ever had here that broke a limb was an excalibur. But if you hunt with one long enough it's probably bound to happen. Except if it's Bunjie LOL 😆 Genevieve asked me to add that last part haha
I know crossbows are capable of yardage but I would not recommend shooting past 30 are you going to do or possibly do wounded deer
Who did you get your replacement strings from? My serial number starts with 1130
I bought my replacement set directly from the company when I bought the crossbow just so that I would have them and it turns out I use them sooner than I expected haha
@@Deathbybunjie I went ahead and bought a pair from killer instinct I plan on getting them put on soon as possible no need to risk it! I love this crossbow!
It’s got to be a bit overwhelming to carry this compact crossbow around and reap the benefits when your traveling or hunting in a blind, or in a stand after all the years of a gigantic crossbow. No more bumping things or the risk of running out of room.
I am certain that my history with the big crossbow has affected what I think of the small one that's for sure, you are 100% correct
So how much do you have wrapped up in this set up. Being on social security i would be hard pressed to convince my wife to purchase this setup...lol.
Totally get that, the Scopes can be had for under 700 bucks now and the crossbow itself you can get for around $619 with coupon codes and the $100 rebate from the company, really not bad considering what's involved and the fact that you have a lifetime warranty on both
I duplicate you enforcer. Much appreciated, I enjoy mine also. Had same problem with cables
Good to hear, best of luck to both of us
Wow i have a x1 that is made in 11/01/2020 of 1500 looks like ima have to get it restringed
Keep an eye on them and make sure you don't see serving separation or fuzzy strings sticking out and maybe you're okay, good luck
@@Deathbybunjie can you please post a link of the lumenox that you use for your swat x1 there's so many to choose from I'm trying to get the right size
@daltonisom6265 lumenok.com/ depends on the arrows that you use but if you use that nock selector you will be able to figure it out for sure, I use the GTC Style
Poor OB....relegated to gathering dust over the mantel, having been replaced by the new girl in the stable. LOL After much deliberation, I decided to not replace my old Excalibur (ExoMax.....basically an updated OB) this hunting season, in favour of going back to a compound bow.
The OB will still get some use, good luck out there!
It is my understanding that Burris has a software update that fixes the battery drain
Yes, that is what I am told also! I guess you have to send it in for that which is a good idea to do in the off-season perhaps.
Hey buddy what is differences between the do and x1 you have
The xp and. X1 what is differences
The X1 is the newer one and corrects some problems with the xp, i believe. It is a bit smaller and easier to handle, the crank system is better from what I am told, and it is a lot quieter. The XP shoots a little bit faster but that was one of the reasons they had problems with that model, I am told. I really like the feel of both of them. But the X1, the only one I've owned, no real complaints so far.
@@Deathbybunjie thanks buddy
Hey Rich, I think I have something for a new video
Can you have TOO much power?! My buck had a perfect entry hole however being a 3” cut my exit hole was shy of 2” inches 🤔 I went through a couple ribs going in and even had a vane caught up in one. I think the blades broke off at contact. Too much power??? Maybe! First deer I’ve shot with the R500. All my others were shot with the R20 and R29X. Fixed blades on the 29X. 🤔🤔🤔
This is a great topic and I just recorded it this morning. Should be out this week.
@@Deathbybunjie I can’t wait to watch it!!
Happy New Year!!
Mike
Now if Burris could figure out how to put a “on/off switch” to power the scope off. Removing and reinstalling the battery at the end/start of every hunt is silly!
I just leave it in there, mine don't drain really fast but I have noticed the difference from one scope to the other, one of them that I have basically can go almost a year but the other one is only a month or so
What happened to the Scorpyd?
I must have missed the video when he got rid of that crossbow also
Still have it...just really liking this setup these days
if i have to go on an unknow planet with only a crossbow I will take an old excalibur
There should be no drain on the battery when you aren’t using the scope!
Agree 100%, I am told that it is a firmware update to fix it but you would have to send the scope and have that done.
👍😃✌️🦌
Como fazer pra ganhar uma de presente
I have no idea! Lol.
Does this mean the slick black Cadillac Scorptd is permanently benched? Lol
Nothing is permanent in this world haha
@@Deathbybunjie when should we see Bunjie 3.0 again? Lol
Man my wife is not gona be happy when I buy one of these lol
Lol it's the holidays
Me getting several moose with my $700 crossbow setup…..
Enforcer good, aint you bradfords D.A. now? Or the prosecutor, guess they mean same thing more or less
It's official in January woohoo!
Too expensive for us poor boys lol
I get that, the crossbow though you can get for around $619 when it is on sale and you use a coupon code and a $100 rebate from the company. And the Scopes are really coming down in price now as the season winds down.
Get you some lithium batteries..may get more life out of them
Just rub it in
😆 lol just really liking this thing AND sharing some issues with it at the same time...don't forget it was a rough summer with the scope and all, getting to this point!
I was more or less talking about the two nice back to back bucks lol
@@melvingreen7733 LOL that's great, thanks, I have to admit that's mostly luck on my part and just picking the right place and time, but I do take credit for making some decent shots haha
Thanks for posting the video. I can’t tell if the serving near the loops on the cams is coming off…they are spread out but not loose. But I think I will get the string replaced. When I get back from my work trip, I’ll bring it to local pro shop that services KI. Kind of disappointing to tell you the truth as I just bought this bow a few months ago but, I guess car manufacturers sell you new cars with tires these days good for about 30k miles max. Nothings ever really “perfect” anymore.
