This video reviews essential bushcraft gear available on Amazon in 2021, focusing on knives, saws, axes, and sharpeners. Key items include the Silky Nata hatchet for clearing, the Nordic Pocket Saw for portability, and the Schrade SCHF59 knife with an integrated ferro rod. It also covers the Work Sharp Pivot Plus sharpener and the CRKT Spark'n Sharp multi-tool, highlighting their specific features for wilderness survival and maintenance.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of a DevTac Ronin armored helmet against various archery equipment, culminating in a test with the TenPoint Siege RS410 crossbow. While compound bows failed to penetrate, the Siege RS410 bolt successfully breached the helmet, demonstrating its superior kinetic energy and penetration power. Ballistic gel tests further confirmed the crossbow's ability to pass through a 16-inch block, unlike the compound bow arrow.
This video provides a detailed review of the TenPoint Viper S400 Crossbow, highlighting its state-of-the-art features. The review emphasizes the Acuslide System, which is presented as the easiest to operate and quietest option available. The video also includes a promotional code for Sportsman's Guide and links to the creator's Patreon and merchandise. The content is aimed at crossbow enthusiasts and potential buyers.
This video tests the ballistic resistance of an RTS Tactical Level 3A SWAT shield against various archery projectiles. While traditional and pocket shot arrows failed to penetrate, a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow at 330 fps caused significant penetration. The TenPoint Viper S400 crossbow, firing a broadhead at 400 fps, completely penetrated the shield, highlighting the limitations of Level 3A protection against high-powered crossbows.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of a TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow against a World War II German steel helmet. The crossbow, capable of 470 FPS and 200 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, successfully penetrated the helmet with both a practice tip and a Muzzy broadhead. The test highlights the significant power of modern crossbows against historical armor.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of various archery equipment against fresh coconuts. A traditional bow at 170 fps penetrated one coconut, a compound bow at 340 fps penetrated two to three, and a crossbow exceeding 400 fps also penetrated multiple coconuts, demonstrating significant power differences.
This experiment tests how many footballs an arrow can penetrate using different bows. A PSE compound bow and a TenPoint crossbow, both shooting around 340-370 fps, stopped arrows in the sixth football. A traditional recurve bow, however, only penetrated the first football, demonstrating a significant power difference.
This video tests the penetration capabilities of various archery equipment against seven stacked Lifetime plastic tables. A recurve bow at higher draw weights and a Pocket Shot slingshot could penetrate the first table. A PSE compound bow with broadheads pierced three tables, while a TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow at 470 FPS achieved the highest penetration, clearing three tables and stopping at the fourth.
This video revisits the physics of arrow flight, specifically testing how far arrows travel when launched at a 45-degree angle compared to a lower angle. It demonstrates that a 45-degree launch significantly increases distance for both compound and traditional bows. The experiment uses precise angle measurement tools and compares results from a compound bow, a traditional recurve bow, and a high-speed crossbow.
This video tests the maximum flight distance of arrows from various modern bows and crossbows in a desert environment. It compares a traditional PSE Heritage bow, a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow, a Hickory Creek Mini Vertical Crossbow, and the high-speed TenPoint Nitro XRT. The results show significant differences in range based on bow type and speed, with the TenPoint Nitro XRT achieving the longest distance.
This experiment tests the penetration power of different bows through watermelons. A recurve bow penetrated three watermelons, a compound bow with a practice tip penetrated four and stopped in the fifth, while a broadhead stopped in the third. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow with a broadhead penetrated five watermelons, and with a practice tip, it penetrated six.
This video demonstrates the flight time of arrows shot vertically using different bow types. A recurve bow arrow fell in 8.5 seconds, a compound bow arrow in 12 seconds, and a high-speed crossbow arrow in 18.5 seconds. Specialized whistling arrow tips were used to aid in tracking the arrow's descent, adding weight but providing an auditory cue.
