    Buy one, have fun! Inexpensive pistol xbow with an intuitive and easy to use cocking mechanism that allows rapid loading/fire. Use the metal bolts (as opposed to plastic) as they are slightly heavier and penetrate deeper. I have found it to be consistently accurate at ranges of upto 50 feet. Ideal as a fun gharden shooter, home defence or even hunting small game, particularly birds i.e. pheasant, pigeon, duck etc. Although of course it may not be legal where you live so check the legalities of h ...

    The Cobra 80lbs Self-Cocking Pistol Crossbow is brilliant crossbow should definitely buy! Very good range I found it could reach 102 meters really nice grip. With a scope i could hit a ten pence piece from 40 meters!!

    If products are imported there should be a way to order parts. If a retailer sells this product they should have replacement parts readily available. The bow is great but now useless.

    I make a stringing device called the ReStringer that makes installing and changing the string on one of these real easy. They are for sale on eBay. It is called ReStringer RCP. Check it out if you have one of these

    Very good for shooting rats at a distance of about 40 feet. The string has to be changed after about 300 shots. VERY VERY GOOD.

    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 ...

    This crossbow comes in two different types; plastic or aluminium. The one I have is the aluminium version, which is a bit heavier and studier, but more or less the same as the plastic one.

    On opening the box I was surprised at how big it was; the pictures seem to make it look smaller than it really is, but it was still easily held with one hand. Beware that while assembly is fairly straight-forward, the instructions are a little vague... I wasn't sure if I was supposed to fit the end caps ove ...

    A nice pistol bow more powerful than the discontinued Barnett Trident .
    I've attached a Crosman laser sight to complete the package (laser sight costs more than the bow!)

    Compared to most crossbow pistols, the Cobra 80lbs self-cocking Pistol is more powerfull and accurate. I was able to hit a 8cm grouping at 20 meters, shooting one handed, using the standard sights.

    The hardest part is fitting the bowstring... but even with that it doesn't take longer than 10 minutes to assemble the crosbow.

    There is a mount for a scope or dot sight. I'll advise using the dot sight. With a pistol it is no use trying to shoot over 30m, so a red dot sight is perfect.

    Imag ...

    I had bought the Cobra 80lbs self-cocking Pistol for $36 at a gun show and was really pleased with how it worked. It is easy to cock, inexpensive, aims pretty good, nicely balanced, at 80lbs is fairly powerful for a pistol crossbow.
    Prod (bow) is easy to break when changing strings, if you don't know what your doing. The one I had was made out of an alloy metal so it was a little heavy.
