Like I said,4 years ago when this xbow came out there was an epidemic of limbs melting down with this model and pages of talk about it here on CBN. Have also seen posts from members saying they have never had a problem. Fast and accurate,loud,bit of a kick on the shot. Probably needs at least 450 gn arrow. I was shooting 400 gn and limbs did not hold up. Have not seen any knocks on the 425 model. KI warranty is outstanding.
 
On the 415 , I think there were several contributing factors. Too stiff a string, very aggressive cams and the rail had flex to it. The 425 is designed completely different. With the ki limbs, 450 gn arrows would be a wise choice.
