![]() 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. Best Recurve Crossbow: Excalibur TwinStrike TAC2.Best Value: Wicked Ridge Raider 400 De-Cock. ![]() So whether you want the flattest shooting crossbow or the most bang for your buck, you’ll be able to find the best crossbow for you. They’ve all been thoroughly tested and represent the latest in crossbow technology. In this review, you’ll find crossbows with speeds from 368 fps to 515 fps and posted prices from $550 to $4,000. This is refreshing after the speed race of last year, where two top crossbows surpassed the 500 fps mark, but struggled to shoot tight groups. The best crossbows of 2023 strike the right balance of speed and accuracy. I’ve tested crossbows that check a few of those boxes, but manufacturers have had a hard time building bows that check them all-until this year. It has to be accurate with field points and broadheads. We welcome feedback on our rules and are always seeking to improve them for better clarity and creating a friendly, social environment here at /r/DnDMemes.A good crossbow needs to do a few things well: It must be easy to load and unload.

![]() ![]() Mobile video editing apps aren’t precise or full-featured when compared to desktop computer apps. What’s more, we found we could do more - and have more fun - with our test videos in Filmora Video Editor & Maker than in any of the other apps we tested. Also, when we purchased our Premium monthly installation for testing, it took a little digging as the monthly payment option wasn’t obvious to us at first.įilmora Video Editor & Maker is a feature-rich program with the largest and most varied content libraries installed with the app. What we didn’t like about Filmora Video Editor & Makerįilmora Video Editor & Maker doesn’t support Dropbox, Google Photos or other third-party cloud storage for import or export. In addition to removing the watermark, the Premium version includes 1GB of cloud storage. The Premium version is $7 per month (billed monthly) or $30 per year (billed annually). The free version of Filmora Video Editor & Maker generates watermarked videos. We liked that Filmora Video Editor & Maker exports directly to Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, TikTok, YouTube and, of course, your smartphone’s gallery where you can share via any resident app. Of course, Filmora Video Editor & Maker has a full range of tools for adjusting exposure, shadows and colors and much more. However, you can also let Filmora Video Editor & Maker automatically generate the beats, a function not available in VlogNow VN Video Editor. The beat icons can guide you in your editing of your video so you’ll have smoother transitions. Like VlogNow VN Video Editor, Filmora Video Editor & Maker lets you tap to indicate beats on the music timeline. We were able to extract audio from a video and edit the two separately. Similarly, the app has a wide selection of stock photos and videos, predefined green screen clips, stickers and graphics, special effects, music, sound effects and so forth. Filmora Video Editor & Maker offers cool text effects, templates with predesigned fonts and animated texts, in addition to a good variety of typefaces. The scores of transitions include both optical and geometric effects (such as the rotating cube we used in our “Good Boy, Gizmo!” video that we discuss later in the “How we tested” section). While you can download additional content for other apps, most notably in Adobe Premiere Rush (which has access to Adobe’s extensive holdings), Filmora Video Editor & Maker has the largest and most varied libraries installed with the app. The dedicated YouTube channel has short how-to videos featuring quick edits to create unusual effects, such as replacing your shadow with one that mocks you. We had no difficulty selecting, moving, expanding/shortening and aligning/coordinating clips. ![]() ![]() What we liked about Filmora Video Editor & Maker Everything is responsive and clearly laid out, with thick, easy-to-manipulate, color-coded ribbons representing auxiliary tracks. We found Filmora Video Editor & Maker (formerly FilmoraGo) to be the best video editing app overall due to its interface that was intuitive and quick to master. $7 per month, billed monthly at Wondershare We noted things like ease of installation and setup, user interface, editing tools, features, content, graphics libraries, import/export and sharing options and availability of tutorials, among others.īased on our testing, Filmora Video Editor & Maker came out on top as the best video editing app to use on your smartphone. We put the video editing apps through their paces, building two different video projects featuring a Pembroke Welsh corgi named Gizmo. Over the course of several weeks, we used our smartphone to test five different video editing apps - Premiere Rush (by Adobe), Video Editor & Maker (by InShot), Videoleap Editor and Maker (by Lightricks), VlogNow VN Video Editor (by Ubiquiti Labs) and Filmora Video Editor & Maker (by Wondershare) - to see which one is the best video editing app on mobile for you. But before sharing videos on social media sites like TikTok and Instagram, via text messaging, on websites or through email, the most savvy mobile videographers should know they can quickly and easily edit their videos right on their smartphones using a video editing app. These days, everyone seems to be creating videos of their friends, family, pets and nearly everything they see or do.

The fictitious land in which Chris Colfers the Land of Stories takes place. Once upon a time, the kingdoms of the fairy-tale world lived in perfect harmony under the guidance of the Happily Ever After Assembly. Froggy wasnt froggy anymore, he was a man. He wore a dapper three-piece suit and carried a large glass jar of lily pads. ![]() He was tall, with a wide face, big, glossy eyes, and shiny green skin. On the run since childhood for vandalizing the Three Bears' home, blond Goldilocks lives in the lawless Dwarf Forests with her horse Porridge and friend Hagetta, a red-haired witch. Standing behind Alex and Conner was what could best be described as a frog man. Discover her origin story and more in this brand new, lushly illustrated full-color graphic novel, as she takes you on adventures where she may or may not break a few laws along the way.

This is a much better track record then previous versions for sure! The only gripe is the worsening of automatic entries with Memorized Payees having a mind of its own but I suspect that is more about my bank (PCF) not being consistent in the labels. I have been satisfied with the current subscription releases (R1 H&B edition v26.1.1.112) and not experienced any failures or crashes like I used to on previous versions. Overall, Quicken will loose many of there long time customers for their new practices today. Spending other than those is entered after, usually ACH transactions since I do not use cash anymore unless I need to. I usually enter up to a month of transactions (recurring ones) ahead of time to watch and track bills and expenses. I do have a 401k, and a mail order business online, so my finances are always entered manually. I do not buy or trade, but did at one time. I'm looking for a Quicken replacement, but like many, it is part of your financial day to day habits and needs in today's economy. ![]() Subscriptions are only $30 USD (not bad, but still.) You can no longer get upgrades and patches to older virus protection software by McAfee. BTW, McAfee has gone this route a few years back as well. We all paid good money for these programs, often spending more for newer versions, and to be told we now have to pay annually, that is a killer. No more updates, bug patches, etc., and possibly no more data entry to older versions. That is the part that all older versions will be caught on. I have just today gotten an email that I need to register again and create a new Quicken ID and password due to the sale, the Intuit ID and pass will go obsolete soon. I did not call as I had fixed the problem as of now. Quicken help even emailed me to call them when I complained on their Facebook page. My email is on another older computer, and not on at the time. I eventually had to email for my information, and that caused issues as well. When this auto update ran, and locked me, it took me hours to figure out how to fix it. Many of the posters in this thread use older versions, even older than my 2015. Even copy and pasting has been made harder at many online websites, since they make the transactions links to more data (PAYPAL for example). ![]() I only use manual entries of my transactions (many using copy and paste from my online account access to the financial entities I'm working on at any time. I did not need to since I stopped using auto updates and downloading of transactions from my accounts. After the update, I restarted it, and was stuck with the LOGIN popup. I have had many issues lately after my Quicken 2015 Home and Business Edition went on its own and updated itself after I closed the starting popup about a new version (2017) being available, and 40% off offer. As these extras undoubtedly drive up the price, we do wish there was an option to price these extras, which are more ‘Nice haves,’ and are not an absolute requirement for remote access on an a la carte basis. These can certainly be useful, and in fact represent a good value, as users typically are in need of cloud storage, an antivirus program, and a password manager. GoTo stated it has since increased its security measures considerably in light of the above incidents. LastPass, another GoTo property and previously one of our best password manager recommendations, was also breached at the same time, with users' vaults stolen - passwords were encrypted, but other sensitive data wasn't. Passwords may have been stolen too, but they were hashed and salted, so the threat actors cannot discover them without knowing users' master passwords. GoTo, the parent company of LogMeIn, was breached last November, with cloud backups affecting users of its various products, including LogMeIn Pro, stolen.
