    Hey guys! New member here. Just getting back into hunting and looking to purchase my first crossbow. Kind of had my eyes and heart set on a KI Ripper 415. Very hard to find, but I have found one on sale. Anyone with thoughts, feelings, insights, or experience with it? Any would be helpful. Just...
  2. Killer Instinct Crossbows
    Last week was a good week it turns out. Yesterday I took this buck in my first set in a climber on a ridge top whiteoak plateau. My trailcam showed buck activity so I decided it was time. He came to me about 6pm providing me a broadsided shot at 12 yards. The Ripper 415 delivered the Spitfire...
  3. Crossbow Target Shooting Room
    I shot my Ripper crossbow a September 7th and recorded the results to pick best hunting arrows of the dozen. Then recently last Monday I shot the same Ripper again at 50 yards. I choose four arrows from the test shoot I did a 5 weeks ago to see how they repeated to compare the POI of the two...
  4. Crossbow Hunting Room
    Last evening I did a 1st hunt of the season to check my gear and get some observation time. I choose a 15' ladder stand we installed last December on a finger ridge facing east. The stand is backed to the woods on east side facing a pasture that has a group of white oak on a ridge finger. After...

    It's just under 3 weeks until archery open day season. I did a preparation check yesterday with my Ripper 415 and Victory Xbolt arrows at 50 yards to determine accuracy. I shot 4 groups of 3 arrows then recorded the point of impact from aim point and the direction of variation. This way I could...

    On Monday I shot my Ripper 415 crossbow for accuracy check 80 yards. I attached the results as shown in the order of the photos and shots with my setup/range shown also. The weather was great at mid 80 degrees with a 10-15 mph NE wind. The draw I shoot from was protected from the wind. Notice...

    For Summer Fun and Challenge I tried to video my 100 yard attempt!
  8. General Crossbow Discussion
    🏹🎯 Recently I was challenged/inspired to try 100 yard crossbow target shooting. I started short range (40 yds) with tuning my crossbow and working up each 10 yards increment checking to make sure my Hawke XB30 scope was dialed in to each. As I shot more my skills improved as my equipment...
  9. Killer Instinct Crossbows
    Hi everyone, Since it was August 2 the last time I shoot my Ripper 415 when I made the 115 yard shoot I wanted to follow up for an accuracy check. So yesterday I shoot my crossbow at 80 yards and 100 yards to see if zero was held during the idle time. This might sound odd as it is to me. Not...
