Good Points
Powerful, Accurate (for a pistol crossbow), Price.

Bad Points
Some of the pre-assembled parts were loose and needed a tweak.
Not amazing build quality.

General Comments
I've been shooting mine at distances of about 35ft and am able to hit beer cans fairly consistently, 7-8 out of 10 shots.
It's more powerful than other 80lbs draw strength crossbows due to the extra couple of inches pulled back to load it.
The increased accuracy over my other similar model is due to the slightly longer rail travel for the bolt.
My target backstop will have to be upgraded because even at 1 inch thickness of fibre-board, the points are sticking out the other side.
I like this crossbow and am waiting to fit a red dot sight to it..
