Overall Rating
- Value for money
Pretty accurate, fun to shoot, amazingly cheap.
Bad Points
Rear sight needs to be glued in place. Bolts break easily.
General Comments
I bought my Chinese 50 lb draw pistol for shooting rattlesnakes in dry brush where a firearm might start a fire. I made a double sling for it and wear it on my back. I made a quiver out of 3/4" PVC (the really thin-wall stuff) with end caps and it holds 5 plastic or aluminum bolts. I attached this beneath the crossbow (along the frame) with 2 cable ties. I keep a sixth bolt on the rails under the string. I fired one of the platic bolts up a moderate grade about 300 feet and have never found the bolt! Both the plastic and aluminum bolts break very easily so now I make bolts from 5/16" dowels (about 6 or 7 inches long) with archery field tips on the end (heavy, not hollow tips) and NO fletching. They go right through tin cans at 10 feet and so far have not broken. I guess the weight of the point is enough to keep it flying straight. To sum it up I bought it for a specific purpose and now have fun target shooting with it. With shipping I paid about $17 and I think I got a great value for my bucks.
