BAT Reverse — reconditionnée

Excellent quality Better than Expected

Love the crossbow it’s versatile and packs a punch. So compact yet has enough kill power. Only problem I’ve noticed is the original string it comes with is cheap center serving is already coming loose on mine it’s only been shot 10 times and I always maintained my crossbow before firing with wax and such.

Absolutely love it! Great power for the size.
Super fun and easy. It made my summer so much more enjoyable. Plus I can hunt with it.

My Old Man gifted me a BAT Reverse for Xmas (2024), because I live in the city and target shooting (anything) is my escape, and I’m a dad now and can’t just dip out and do my thing on a whim anymore (worth it btw… girl dad x2 life is humbling for sure, but so rad). Plus, there’s a brood of coyotes that don’t miss many meals here in the Kessler Park area of Dallas that, and based on the claw marks on my fence and the whining in the alley when I take this parlor dog outside for a midnight leak, there’s little doubt they’re intent on turning it into coyote scat. Long story short, I’ve taken it on my last two South Flexas whitetail hunts, and after bagging a big boi each time, I’ve taken the BAT Reverse out to the stand instead of that .308 medicine… full pass through w the lighted knock hunting bolts on a proper old/big doe at 25 yds (Rage broad heads that radly match the orange components on the c-bow pistol btw 🤌🏼)—total devastation, fell at 20 yds and never moved again. Similarly, a small but respectable buck in Feb. at 35 yds w same type of bolt and unwittingly the exact same already-rib-dinged Rage b-head. No pass through, but total devastation again. Fell at ~20 yds without even last rigors. These Ballista BAT Reverses are not the flaccid crossbow pistols we ‘80s babies used to order out of the back of Boy’s Life Magazines back in the days of Peak American Childhoods ™️, listed next to the quail egg + incubator package deal… like, not at all. Speaking of quail, it’s so quiet when shooting that it didn’t even phase the covey that happened to be under my blind when deleting that doe—two quail got snuffed too at ~5 yds, almost straight down from ~10’ verticality… for science (or smthg). As accurate as they are, can’t recommend using Rage b-heads on those little nerd-birds though, at least if you’re wanting to delete then eat. Also, mine is rigged with the L-shaped telescoping stock, bottom picatinny w the choice fore grip, the junior varsity red/green dot, and the hunting bolts w the white fletching. Spend the MFn money w confidence. All 5 of my boys that had been spittin venom at me for wanting to try to get a toy c-bow bloody bought one while standing there watching me sight it in before before even taking that doe. These things are silly (in the gnar way, not the disappointing “you’ve gotta switch to a Blackout kind of way 💆🏻‍♂️). I’ve since screwed the bipod on it too and it will literally split bolts at 25 yds… I have multiple vids. Also, my 7-yr old and my 5-yr old daughters each bullseye’d their first shots ever (with anything beyond a squirt gun) at 35 & 30 yds, respectively—proud father moments 🥹. Just get one y’all. They’re literally like 8” wide when caaacked, and they bring the heat… those two deer fell nearer & expired sooner than the bucks I helped shuffle off this mortal coil w the .308 custom earlier in the morning of each Reverse BAT deletion too btw. And the pull weight! JFC, I’m 5’10/140 lbs and it’s stupidly easy even for me and my twatly wrists & musculature… the draw length is a couple inches longer than one might expect, but when it doesn’t matter. Oh yeah, I had to put the string back on in the field due to the limbs hitting the sides of the archery shooting window when carried away Raging the aforementioned quail, and with that field press it took a jack-🫏 like me maybe 90 seconds to accomplish. It’s just too sick not to be the next thing that angers your wife… trusss, just do it… DO IT. [Alluring Ballista-laden deletion pics of everything described above upon naysayer request btw] 🫡 🏴‍☠️

This crossbow is every bit as powerful and accurate as advertised very happy with my purchase would definitely recommend

This unit is 5 stars love shooting it .. Also customer service is great I’m going to buy a hawkwing when they get in stock this unit is very compact easy to transport .. no complaints about it I do see a lil string wear but i literally shot it about 60 times and dont see it being a problem ..

Ordered a refurbished unit and it arrived already needing a string as the one that I received was badly frayed.
Took over two weeks to deliver in USA.
Horrible customer service, replaced string but expects me to purchase the press to replace the string that should have been replaced perfore shipping to me.
I will NEVER do business with Ballista again. I really wanted to like this but the customer experience was the absolute worst.

Started with the bat reverse with magazine then ordered the bat reverse single with stock ,topped it off with the Ballista Bat. That was just for me. Turned around and got my son and grandson one also.

Torsion cable came out with in 50 shots, alsoI used wax every time.

I'm giving this 5 stars even though I didnt get it sighted in before losing everything to a housewife. I had purchased the regular bat with the L stock a few months before and never had more fun shooting any other crossbow. It was so fun to line up and shoot. Even my boys and girlfriend could hit bulls eyes! I will be buying the reverse bat as soon as I can get back stable. It will definitely put food on the table!

Giving it a 4 star instead of a 5 because this thing eats cables. I haven’t gotten more than 50 shots out of a cable even with string wax and lubricating the rail before every plinking session. So like another gentleman on here said. When you buy this thing go ahead and grab the cable replacement tool and extra set of cables($120🤦‍♂️). Otherwise this thing is wonderful. Easy to cock(I’m a former infantry Marine- so might be hard for other to cock at 50lbs), super accurate, and hell of a good time to shoot. I just wish the replacement cables weren’t $60 a piece, or atleast lasted up to 500 shots like Ballista claims. There’s absolutely no way it’ll last that long. I’m on my third cable🤷‍♂️ but I would absolutely recommend this thing to anyway looking for an end of times goat. It’s my squirrel sniper; but with the larger hunting bolts you could definitely take down large game. If you’re even debating on buying it? Do it you won’t be disappointed other than the cable life.

Day one, while zeroing in the scope I got for it, the cable jumped off the pulley as shown. Apparently this can happen when the cable isn't twisted properly during manufacturing/assembly. Fixing it requires you to buy the restringing tool which costs a surprising amount.Still, if you enjoy it you'll need to restring it eventually, so it isn't really a waste. Just be prepared to spend the extra early on.Overall a pretty solid little tool. I can't vouch for its accuracy since I was zeroing it in at close range when it fouled, but it's lightweight, seems well made, and the drawing mechanism is fantastic.

This mini pistol size crossbow is amazing. I attached a small scope. With the power of this crossbow it’s a silent slayer. You can reload in about 7 seconds. Very quick quiet and easy.

Wasn’t sure what to expect honestly. Terrible feedback on equipment, customer service and affordable quality products might be a thing of the past. I have a very strong reputation being an honorably discharged veteran starting in 2003, and this was a hurtful disappointment. I’ll wait to see the manufacturers stance here, as I believe in due process as our constitution firmly adheres by. I’ll keep you posted.Update** Great customer service from Ballista. They are sending a new tool and string for the rare defect free of charge. This doesn’t seem to be a usual issue, their engineers also are ensuring all future shipments can be further inspected after my photos submitted and it was very refreshing to feel like an entire team is behind you.Thank you Ballista and 5 stars. Hopefully this sting comes soon!

Perfect

I need to get one It’s beautiful cross bows must be very popular for hunting

Libs crack .. Not just mine but my grandsons too ..
How do I get replacement limbs or get it fixed?

I can't wait to shoot it

I bought the reverse Bat with the fish bundle . I prob have $700 in so far because I picked up the red/green reflex sight for it . I haven’t tried bow fishing yet but it has so much power for what it is & I’m certain that it will deliver .

Such great quality build, quick delivery and excellent customer service. Highly recommend.

Purchased the bat reverse was pretty geeked about it but once I put it together the draw back for cooking the xbow will nit move at all I can pull the bowstring so not that assuming mechanism jammed hopefully I can get a replacement quick and not have to wait to much longer for a working product.

Why don't you put sling attachments on them for the price???
