Overall this is not a bad crossbow I have had mine for a couple of years and it is still working I made a new string for my cross bow. This crossbow is accurate within thirty feet but with practice you could probably get good accuracy at further distances. THis crossbow is potentially deadly to rabbits and squirrels within reasonable range. Overall it will get you the idea of whether or not you like crossbow shooting or not and will help you decide on whether to get a more powerful model or not.

The Chinese 50 lb Draw Pistol Crossbow is amazingly inaccurate when shooting from medium distances. It is worth the peanuts you pay for it, if you can find a bit of extra money I would suggest buying a cheap 150lb crossbow, you won't be dissapointed.

A lot of fun to shoot this little pistol and actually could be very deadly to squirrels and pigeons etc out to about 20 feet... limited by accuracy and not enough power however.
Well worth the money although all the guys that have spent big bucks on high power deer hunting crossbows will regard it as pure junk.

It is cheap enough to be a gag gift for dads and nephews etc. but secretly they will really have a lot of fun with it. Do not shoot indoors thinking this is a toy however.
