Vary and packaging – Taiwan more colorful. Otherwise, they are absolutely identical – both in design and in technical characteristics.

Recursive crossbows MK-150 “tarantula,” released two companies: a Taiwanese Man, CIPD and the Russian Interloper. Disputes in the Network who is better and who gets robbed, reminiscent of the debate about what came first, the chicken or the egg.

Description of the subject

• The classic recursive (bow) crossbow medium power.
• The tension force of 43 pounds.
• The bed is wooden, polished, aluminum alloy housing.
• Shoulders the bow and the bowstring is made of composite materials. Perhaps in addition to get reinforced shoulders for YC-150

• Bed polupoltina, good quality, with rubber butt plate.
• There is a stirrup for ease of loading, it is evolving.
• The method of fastening the bow on the body, an elastic clip with a bolt through the two rubber seals – quite adequate for a weapon of such power.
• The automatic fuse, which makes the crossbow relatively safe even in the hands of an untrained shooter.

The fuse box is to the right and move it, so the left-handed may not be quite comfortable.

• The trigger mechanism is simple, with one sear and unregulated, which increases the stress on the hook and affects the accuracy.
• Fighting tooth holding the string, designed for a force of 80 kg – twice more than in tension. This is the optimal amount of insurance against unforeseen circumstances. Any increase in power of weapons increases the risk of using it. Therefore, the possibility of an upgrade is limited.
• The crossbow has a bracket for mounting optical sights, but in order to use it, it is necessary to remove a regular sight and managed not to lose it.
• The rear sight is adjustable, allowing for the zeroing of weapons according to the usual technology. It is not equipped with a fiber-optic thread, so newbies to use them can be difficult. With such an effective firing range up to 50 meters – it is the best sighting device, and a plank for a fiber – redundant.
• When manual tension of the string may be skewed and asymmetrical stress on the shoulders, which increases their service life. In addition to two white lines, marked on the bow for the proper alignment of his body, there is no longer devices and devices to ensure correctness of the position. Weapon of low power is valid, but the accuracy is affected by far.

For weapons of such power weighs too much – 2.5 kgs.

Assembly and use

After unpacking it was assembled.

1. The bow is mounted using two rubber and one metal (from the bolt) gasket. For proper alignment it is necessary to focus on two white risks. The bolt is tightened without fanaticism, not allowing deformation of the gaskets. The elastic connection, for example a small gap.
2. Two bolts fastened the stirrup (optional).
3. For onion sets the stub hooks for the string.
4. The string before installing it is necessary to twist two or three turns to get a uniform burn, which is not divided into strands. Its middle part for the gutter, rubbed with wax or paraffin to prevent abrasion.

For shooting, you first need to draw the string back, holding it with two hands and while holding the crossbow in the stirrup with a toe. If you have a lot of energy, then it can be done without the stirrup, just resting the butt plate in the chest. The disadvantage of this method is that so you will surely percocete the string.

Put your butt plate in his right shoulder and point your arrow at the target, fixing the line of sight notch rear sight and front sight on the front bracket. Slide the fuse box with the thumb of the right hand forward and hit the trigger.
