[QUOTE="FlGunner, post: 1925014, member: 94240"] I know it’s an old thread and I’m late to the party..... I just started using a crossbow this post season. No reason other than it’s legal for private lands here and I like to kill deer. I bought a Scorpyd Nemesis 480. Advertises speed is 480 fps but real world hunting speed with 22” black eagle executioner’s with brass inserts (forget the total weight) is 465 fps. It absolutely blows through deer. Killed a heavy buck out of state this year that weighed 275 lbs at 61 yds (rangefinder verified before shot). Blew through both shoulders using a Swhacker 100 grain broadhead. Buck ran 30-40 yds and died. A close friend has 2 Ravins, a R20 and another I’m not sure the model. They are sweet and compact. However, they cannot duplicates the speed of the Scorpyd I have shooting the same arrow weight. Not bashing them just comparing. Now they are better in terms of being a compact bow and that can be the difference in a shot or not if you’re leaning against a tree in a stand try to get a shot behind you (width matters lol). But if you can pull it (mine is a rope pull/no crank) it’s beast and lethal at distance. And hold 1” groups off a rest at 100 yds. [/QUOTE]
