 Not deadly enough. April 23, 2009

This product seamlessly integrated my two favorite things: the deadly precision of a crossbow, and the conveniently sized carry-on pistol. So you can imagine how upset i was when i learned that it failed to penetrate a human skull or police-grade kelvar vests. but overall nicely constructed and durable, while non-lethal. you get what you pay for. it also does not support explosive-tipped arrows.
 not that strong! impossible to string! February 3, 2009

The bolts tend to break- so fire them at soft targets. the sights are worthless- buy a cheap $10 scope. this helps with aiming immensly. the pull is indeed 80 pounds- weighed on a fishing scale. but the length of the draw is so short, the arrows dont have that much power. using one of the arrows provided, i sharpened it on a bench grinder and shot it at a piece of ballistics gel- an accurate representation for live flesh. it penetrated about 4.5 inches, not bad but not enough for most small-game hunting. good for rabbits, birds, and squirrels. this product is priced well, but is not as strong as i expected. by the way, the crossbow is relativly easy to cock thanks to the foot-stirrup.

hard to string, but once you have strung it, it shoots well. don't bother with an expensive crossbow

I got one of these from sportsmans guide also. Wanted to try it out so I took it outside and shot a bolt into the lawn. The bolt penetrated the ground almost the full length of the aluminum shaft but the black plastic flight snapped off. Next, I took the cardboard bullseye target, that came with the crossbow, outside and leaned it against a maple tree. I stood back about 20 feet, took aim on the bullseye, and let her rip. I missed my mark by about one inch to the left. The bolt stuck into the tree about a half inch but, again, the black plastic flight snapped right off.
Next, I was curious about what kind of distance this thing would shoot. So, after making sure nobody else was around I took a near verticle shot in the field behind my house. It shot nearly out of sight before returning to earth. For a cheap little crossbow pistol this thing zings pretty good.
To me it is easy to string. I just loop the left string loop over the left limb tip. Then, I place the left limb tip on a carpeted floor, holding it at about a 30 degree angle. I place my left foot about 6 inches up from the left limb tip to secure the bow while I pull the right limb tip back toward me and loop the right string loop over the right limb tip. Like somebody else mentioned, wax your string about every 10 shots.
If I need replacement strings or limb tips I will contact sportmans guide customer service. I don't know if they have them for this crossbow but they did for a full size crossbow I got from them.
I would recommend this product.
Rather versatile, good value December 12, 2008

I bought this mainly to use for caving. I'm modifying it to shoot 4" glowsticks, but it can shoot many other things too. The metal bolts it comes with are decently durable, but I warped one after three shots. I've tried various projectiles, ranging from airsoft BBs to .22 caliber bullets(just the bullet, not the whole cartridge. You can buy them via reloading suppliers). I haven't killed any vermin with it yet, but I'm certain it'll do the job if needed. Overall, you can't beat the power/price ratio provided by this product.
