Advantages and disadvantages
- One of the most powerful crossbows pistol type. The tensile force is 36 pounds. Is relatively easy. All-in-one bow, made of reinforced plastic, is secured by a bolt with a small allowable backlash. Therefore, extreme accuracy cannot be reached.
- For convenience, there is a tension stirrup and, most importantly, arm (right and left of rail) by which the crossbow can be cocked even children.
- Fuse auto, its check box has an outlet on both sides of the body, so a crossbow handy and left-handers. The trigger mechanism unregulated, with one sear. The descent is tight and not informative.
- Established sights – adjustable in two planes and adjustable rear sights and fixed front sight on the front safety clip – not equipped with colored fiber-optic strands which complicates aiming.
- There is a level weaver for mounting optics, but with such an effective range (up to 15 meters) – it is rather a tribute to fashion. Mounting optics is possible without removing the rear sight.
Package does not include stringer – auxiliary cord to install the bowstring, so the Assembly process is quite complicated, many users manage to bring a crossbow in a combat situation only with someone’s help.
At distances up to 10 meters crossbow threat to people and animals. Therefore, to trust to his children, and inadequate personalities is not worth it. But you can get real pleasure of owning a weapon that can make a hole in the plate fiberboard.
