"After owning the smaller 50Ibs crossbow and shooting it countless times i thought id upgrade to this type of self cocking crossbow, Pure luxury! Cocks easily, the safety comes on automatically with cocking it and a pleasure to use. Very powerful aswell, fired over a 20 yard distance you cant even see the bolt flying through the air! sights take some getting used to but i just \\'zeroed\\' it in after about 5 shots no problemo. Its made from strong lightweight aluminium and the limb is a nice recurve type limb, not too wide. Definately the best and most powerful hand crossbow i have fired yet, for the price. Compared to my friends 80Lbs one (wont name any brands but its made from a very reputable, old company) this one is far better. Even he agreed after firing it! Overall, excellent quality, well worth the money and you even get a few bolts for free in the box. "
