Good, but maybe a little complex for a first timer.
At first, I was going to give this a 4 star review, but I figured something out that I think many other people didn’t realize. The little rubber pads it ships with are used to keep the bow in place and you need both in to keep it stable. I am no markswoman, as you can tell by the picture, but with this crossbow I have been able to land all my bolts on the target at least. The same cannot be said about the recurve bow I used to use.Putting it together was a little difficult but once I figured it out it was a breeze, relatively speaking. It ships with a bow stringer which is VERY convenient.My one complaint is probably that the bolts it ships with feel a bit cheap and flimsy. Do what I did; buy a pack of target bolts. You can get 60 of them for less than $20 on Amazon.I would reccomend this crossbow to most people, just be aware that it’s not going to be on par with a $300+ crossbow.

Great crossbow! Very accurate and powerful. However, the assembly wasnât easy at all.

Impressed
The crossbow was easy to set up and quality looks good. Shot it the first time, put 3 bolts almost in the same hole at point if aim. I was surprised at the accuracy. Just ordered another fir a gift.

Could have killed my 16 year old daughter Christmas morning!!
DANGEROUS!! So, wanted to have this ready to go for my daughter Christmas morning. First time crossbow is all she’s talked about for 2 years. So, I wanted to be able to have a mother daughter moment by knowing all the ends and outs to be the one to teach her confidently . I also wanted to make sure it was working correctly and safely, and in addition know exactly how powerful it was before we set up targets to shoot. All pieces were there and everything worked smoothly as it should with ease. HOWEVER!! ON THE FIRST SHOT, THE END CAP THAT HOLDS THE STRING ON ONE END SNAPPED ON RELEASE. THE PIECE WAS A HARD POLYMER THAT BECAME A PROJECTILE THAT SHOT OUT SIDEWAYS WITH SO MUCH FORCE IT LODGED INTO THE ALUMINUM SIDING OF THE BARN NEXT TO ME!!!!!!!!!! THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MY DAUGHTER ON CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!!! or my daughter could have killed her mother Christmas morning with the crossbow she begged me for!!!!!! Who the?? why the hell would knobs be separate pieces on the arm anyway? Why not all one piece of fabricated metal? Or at the very least a screw on metal piece? Who the heck thought it was a good idea to use freaking hard plastic as the material for the part of the crossbow that is under the most pressure???!!!!!! I am so rattled, angry, and in utter disbelief that this product is on the market!!!!! The bolt sunk into the target completely- very powerful, but not safely engineered to handle all that power!! All I can think about is how my glowing smiling daughter would have been close next to me watching closely, anxious to make her first shot that she would have never gotten to take ð¢ and I would have killed my daughter with a weapon she convinced me to get that i finally agreed to after many no’s because of worry!! Give my baby a gift that I end up killing her with on Christmas for my big bonding mother daughter chrimas moment??!!!!JESUS!!!!mother’s and fathers, everyone beware! Even if the projectile didn’t land to make a kill… permanent disfigurement and or disability at the very least to any living being beside me!!! The blunt plastic shard BENT METAL SIDING SO MUCH ON IMPACT IT STERTCH THE METAL UNTIL IT WAS COMPLETELY LODGED!! Had to use a knife to dig it out!!!!Thank God I tested it first and thank God my partner or dog was not on that side of me when I did… THE VERY FIRST SHOT!

Easy to assemble, a lot for a little
Many years ago I paid nearly this much for a simple pistol. This is far superior!Some tips on assembly as I noted some had issues. The stringer maybe a tad long, this will leave you with a struggle getting the bow string over the molded end. If this happens to you, no worries, just undo one of the knots on the stringer and retie it (with a knot that can easily be undone once pressure has been applied, think ‘clove hitch with a tag end’).Next tip, look at all of the parts. There are two rubber pieces and a metal piece in the bag of screws. The rubber pads go on both sides of the bow, and the metal piece goes on top of the rubber piece for the screw to hit against. You note a divot on one side for the screw to settle in. I had the whole thing assembled and when I went to put the handle on, noticed the pads and plate (duh, forehead slap).Nicely designed, easy to assemble. Easy to use and seemingly well made. A large improvement over what I got thirty years ago!
