Move that decimal point to the left one digit and I am still out.
That is unless all of those cocking devices can be used for dragging a deer and you can clime in and drive that bow over tough terrain.

Might be our best option when they take away our guns. Lol
I'm glad I can get close enough to game that I don't need that kind of performance

Wow! That cost more than my first truck!! I think who ever buys that ( and someone will!) really wants the latest and greatest so far.

I would still prefer an arrow gun. Still 500fps and only around $900. But not legal to hunt with in my state yet.

That's an incredible xbow just to much cash.

Buddys shop help at won't carry that one unless a special order and a hefty deposit, believe he said 1 guy did order one.
FWIW (personal opinion here). Guys think speed is everything. Once you get above the 330 fps area you get more into arrow flight problems (mechanicals won't plane as much as reg. broadheads do), breakage (still amazes us that guys won't properly nock an arrow or use cheap compound arrows from Walmart and then say it's the bows fault), use the proper X-bow specific nock, never lube the rail, never replace the string, feel to let it down at the end of the day to just put a short piece of arrow in and shoot into the ground (anti dry fires now help but remember it isn't something to put total trust in), hit the limbs against something when shooting, etc. If things aren't warrented (due to owner failure) then replacemnt parts can be costly. I shoot the Mission Sub-1 Lite which was around $1200.00 but with a consignment sale brought the price down to a reasonable price for me. This bow allows me to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) it manually as it cams over to 80% when cocking it so I can manage it. There are other models in that catagory but this one is quiet and shoots 330 fps. which was what I was wanting and narrow enough to go thru the woods.
Anyways just my personal feelings and from what I've seen.

Since one of the optons is an electric drive cocking system, that means it has electronics........so shouldn't it also have WIFI.......with video? And since it will (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) itself, install a magazine and make it a repeater?

Leave it in the woods and control it with my smart phone when something I want to shoot walks in front of the camera?

Wow! 😮I thought my 1500$ skorpyd was high priced!
I get 409fps with the reverse draw.
At 400fps you never see the bolt in flight, it hits target almost instantly at 80 yds

500 fps doesn’t interest me but check out the Excalibur Twin Strike.Fill your freezer twice as fast-more time for trapping!
