I did not expect this to be such a powerful weapon. It was exactly what I was looking for, even better!! I live in New York, I just moved into a new area, low security and wanted something on hand that I can use to defend myself with. I did not want to go out and get a gun license since there are so many laws around it, especially if I even had to use it in a moment of need. Using a gun in New York, regardless of self-defense in your home is a very sticky legal subject, and I would not want to be penalized for defending myself

This was very easy to put together. I fired a few practice rounds in a secluded piece of land, that I own with capture targets, and the arrows were unrecoverable. That’s how serious and strong this weapon is. It’s not your basic bow and arrow set up. It’s a real weapon, I’m kind of surprised they sell this on Amazon but I am grateful. Having this gives me such a sense of security and defense. Any single woman, living alone should definitely buy this item and get comfortable firing it. It goes beyond pepper spray and a taser gun.

Light weight, and very fast little crossbows. A lot of accessories are available for it. Tough crossbows and are a blast to hunt with. Customer service is top notch, very responsive and I even had one touch base with me to make sure everything was working out. Highly recommend.

My first review was was made out of frustration and I only gave 1 star. I was finally able to get in contact with the warranty department and the problem was solved. It did take almost 2 weeks before a part was even shipped out to me. It turned out that for some reason my crossbow had extra bolts screwed into the firing mechanism. I think designed to keep it from firing. Instead it let it fire, but jammed the down so it couldn’t reload. In case anyone else has a similar issue. For the size of the bow it does produce some impressive power. Could be use on small game, I imagine. I’m setting my bow up for fishing. Should help make that a bit more entertaining. Made my friend laugh when they’re all setting their poles up and I busted a crossbow out. Of course, everyone had to try it out. So you’ll want plenty of arrows. I called it a desk prob in my first review because of a reliability issue and concerns. However, after getting that issue fixed. It’s a solid tool, that will mostly be used to get laughs and curiosity involvement. The compatibility in its size makes for a perfect backpack fishing bow. I wish there was a model set up explicitly for that usage. That way with the price point wouldn’t out weigh the bow. Since there wasn’t I had to drop over another $100 for the real, adapter, and 3 arrows. Could of purchased a good fly rig or very nice rods and reels. But that’s not for me, when doing some Louisiana fishing is an option.

Powerful for its size, seams fairly accurate I like it, but string broke on the 22nd shot while sighting in, arrow went flying, it came undone at the left anchor point. New string is $40 from ballista, how long will the new string last? Might go to my local archery shop and see what they can do for me.

We bought this do our disabled son can hunt with the other boys from school. Very powerful, good quality. They also have a bow fishing attachment. The only complaint I have is they need more dart options for hunting.

I have four different crossbows this thing is fun very lethal very powerful it is great to keep in your bedroom for protection, Hunt, fish, or just shoot around and have fun with your target bags. I would give it a 10 overall

Arrows have a heavy insert that accept regular broadheads. With a 100gr 3 blade broadhead it is very heavy. My Mini Striker crossbow pistol had a 4–5-inch drop at 10 yards. I found less drop using a 100gr 2 blade broadhead and better penetration. Less wind drag and cutting surface I guess. I got better penetration and less drop with William tell arrows and 100gr 2 blade broadheads on foam target.
