But I don’t recommend shooting field points into a foam broadhead target-especially from the 500 fps crossbows- unless you’re looking for a workout. For broadheads, we used a Rhinehart RhinoBlock, which worked great at stopping the bolts, and the broadhead-tipped bolts were easy to remove. The Extreme 500 reliably stopped arrows throughout our accuracy testing, and we never struggled to pull bolts. We used the Big Shot Extreme 500 because standard targets aren’t up to the task of stopping bolts from the Ravin R500 and the TenPoint Nitro 505. Gear We Used for Testing Target: Big Shot Extreme 500 We tested accuracy from the bench, but that’s probably not how you’ll shoot when hunting, so we also tested crossbows offhand, kneeling, and off a tripod to see how they handled. We also took note of safety features, the nosiness of cocking mechanisms, and each crossbow’s manual of arms. We evaluated each crossbow for how easy and intuitive it was to cock and load. Accuracyįor every crossbow, each shooter shot three, three-shot groups at 50 yards from a lead sled. You’ll also see momentum calculated for each crossbow instead of kinetic energy because momentum provides a more accurate figure of an arrow’s lethality and ability to pass through an animal. For context, the bolt weight and momentum are also listed for each bow. Each crossbow was shot three times, and we averaged the speeds to give you the spec listed for each crossbow. We measured crossbow speed using a Labradar Doppler chronograph. How We Tested Crossbows A Labradar doppler chronograph was used to get an average speed for each crossbow.
