Has anyone shot one of these bows? I saw a couple today ans was extremely impressed! One looked like a Barret .50. Cal receiver and stock.... Very cool bow 350fps and a 4# trigger. Gonna try to shoot one tomorrow!!! The front end cables and string reminded me of a ten point.

this is the fastest bow out at the current time.
It is a heavier bow and really more of a bench shooters bow. The Tac 15, Ghost 410, Fire Force are all bigger heavier bows as well. This is the most shootable of all of them.
There are trigger issues on this model do to bad batch of springs. The manufacture is fixxing them on a first come first served basis. About a 3 to 4 week turn around.
the new one have this issue taken care off.

If speed and accuracy is waht you desire, this is the the bow to get. This is definetly not a bow for the novice.

This bow has a ton of well thought out features, rubber coated stirrup,,, scope rail is as solid as it gets, with has some type of spreader for the hooks so they don't bind when bow cocked. Several other little things as well. I am headed to shoot it today, will post my thoughts asap.....

yup i am lost, i was thinking he was reffrering to the real Velocity bow.


Sorry folks vary limited time at lunch. No time fro deep surfing.



I have never even herd or seen these before but.....yes they look imported to me as well. like said many....... times the recipes for slow shooting bows are popping out of the wood work........here is more proof of that.



Dam...the third one down looks pretty good. It has the rubber grip off the sz 380 and the back portion of the stock is off the stealth ss. I love plagiarism or or i mean capitlasim...the second one down is the looker.

Nope, just a bow Hunter that saw something in a store.... Lol. Just had some wow factor to it once I picked it up. I found a YouTube video of the company, they wer at the ata show I believe, saw one video of draves archery whit a lower end model. I can't wait to shoot it tho!
One thing I found that I didn't like is the optics seemed to be crap, small field of view and awkward....

these poor Bas ---s have no clue the power bashing they will likely under go. I hope none of the stickers peel off or anything.

The owner wasn't available today for me to shoot the bow (like I want to) hopefully tomorrow I will get to spend some time with it. The more I fondle it (Haha :) the more I like it! The goon at the shop had no idea about the company, warranty or much of anything for that matter... Lol
From what I could put together by going over it part by part was they took every good feature and meshed them together into the bow that is at the top of there page. String & cables are same size in dia. as a ten point.... Serving was flawless has pic,rail on bottom that the fore grip attaches to and endless room for accessories in front of that. I love the bow.
However I am a 2011 SZ380 victim so I am not going to jump on this wagon until they prove there selves in this market......

the Armageddon looks sick, i like the tactical look anyway, but this bow
looks great., at 350 fps, it is probably more reliable than if they made it
380-400 fps..just my opinion, i like it, shank'em, if you get a chance to shoot it,
post yourthoughts on it, the trigger, scope, noise, vibration, ect..
does anyone know where these bows are manufactured?

I just talked to the owner of the company. Come to find out his operation is only 50 miles from my store. Supper nice guy he use to work for Bear Archery and saw crossbows were hot and went off on his own. The bows are from over the pond but it sounds like he really knows about quality and cares. Im going to shoot these in 2 weeks at his place and talk more. That bow sells for 499$ Shoots 20 inch Half moons. Comes as a complete package. This bow was speed rated with a 497 grn arrow. He said they shoot between 348-355. He also said his trigger is 4lbs.

Sweet info! Ya, guys as soon as you pick it you can tell that its a quality piece..... I wa shocked that ide never heard of them and for it to have that solid impressive feel to it. I'm sure I will be scolded for this comment but it feels & looks a sound ans solid as the $1,999.00 Ten point the was in the hook next to it.... I own Stryker, bowtech, hoyt, prime by g5 and just sold a z7 Mathews so when I say quality and solid its based off of those manufacturers. Time will only tell about the issues crossbows present, like design flaws and limb materials. Being seen shooting the Armageddon would be equal to sporting a 10 on the hot chic scale..... That thing will def have you staring and fondling every inch of it. Lol...!!!

Grrrrrrrr!!! I've been waiting patiently for someone to return my call from the shop that has these bows so I can actually shoot one... Well that didn't happen so I called and the A** HAT that runs the place now actually said to me if you want to shoot it you have to buy it....
I may have slightly told him how ignorant that was and a few other opinions I had of there business plan.
Very annoying, anyone else ran across these bows and actually shot one?

Too bad they didn't figure out how to make the crossbow shorter than 37 inches in length:-( I couldn't see myself hunting with the PSE Tac....for the same reason.

it is confirmed that they are made over the pond, I'm seriously thinking about guinea pigin one of these just to find out..... it definitely has a level of quality to it for sure. I honestly love everything about the bows. Just wish that turd would let me pull the trigger on one, just one shot.

The ad I saw listed the tactical version as a whopping 37" in length. Nice looking bow but, like Joe Tex said in his song in the 70's ..."ain't gonna bump no mo wid no big fat women":laugh:

LENGTH is becoming more of an issue then speed now a days.

after using a folding stock fro a while now everything seems to long.

35" is about the limit fro me......+ the bigger ones gut is the harder a long bow is to cock
