   A steel part arrived broken. A plastic piece for the bow was missing. I took a look at the assembly instructions to see if I could find a way to assemble it without the metal foot holder that came broken and noticed the instructions are not easy at all to understand. Totally missing the list of items with picture and name which is essential to understand what is what. Very dissatisfied

   The directions to assemble this thing is a joke. We purchased this for my son. He was super excited to have his first cross bow until he took one look at the directions. The step by step instructions are masking clarity. It’s so vague. It come with several screws and multiple Allen wrenches, but it doesn’t tell you which screw goes where or which wrench is needed. The images are grainy and do very little if anything to help. We ended up using YouTube to help us figure out what needed to be done. Maybe if we were first time users, it wouldn’t be a problem but we are and this product’s instructions do little to help or makes us feel confident in the construction of this product. Images included are just the first 3 steps. When it says to use the screws, it doesn’t say which screws, there are at least 4 types to choose from. Good luck

   This is a great beginners product. The directions to put together are very flawed but i was able to get through them in about 2 hours without using the internet. I have never owned, put together, or shot a crossbow before purchasing this item and i still found it to be easy. Shoots true for now as well after around 50 shots. Great buy for the price for any beginner. 6 stars.

   The instructions for assembly were a bit hard to understand but I got it done by myself in under an hour. I used blue locktight on screws to keep them from coming lose in the field. It is probably right at the 175 pound draw it claims, and I recommend using the included rope cocking device to tighten the included stringer. It’s lightweight and easy to handle. Center the open sights when assembling to the middle position in case you ever need them in the field (mine were way off center from the factory). Not the best, but good quality for the price- this was my third crossbow from expensive to cheap and this is as about as good as the much more expensive one. I like the recurve because it can be easily restrung in the field if needed.

   Inexpensive, lightweight, fast, accurate. Assembly required, (Two people) but wasn’t difficult. I cosmetically modify it. I like it. Only thing I notice was the head inserts are plastic, and come out fairly easily. I replaced them with aluminum ones. If on the fence, I say get it.

   Thank you

   Very sturdy the images in the assembly instructions could be in better quality but they have a link to watch a video for assembly. You should buy rail lube if you don’t already have some as it will keep the serving from becoming frayed and undone. The string that came with it was very lightly waxed that after 2 shots fibers could be seen from the string. So you will want to lube the rail (with rail lube not string wax) and wax the string before first use. It is very comfortable and the sling has a couple of placement options as does the quiver. Great for for a recurve crossbow. I wanted a recurve crossbow as it required much less tuning and maintenance than compound crossbows. While Compound crossbows might outperform this, in the event of a part failure recurve is easier and can easily be repaired in the field with just an extra string and restring tool. Compound bows require a compound bow press, string press, and require to be re-timed/retuned and balanced. For a dependable crossbow this is great for the money in simplicity, power, and accuracy.

    Very nice and durable I would recommend it for sure it can use better instructions but they aren’t too bad

    This is my first crossbow. I haven’t had it long but it is holding up nicely. Can’t really say much regarding durability since I haven’t had it long, but it seems like it will last. I’ve read the reviews before I purchased it and the biggest complaint was regarding the instructions for assembling it not being clear enough. I would have to agree with that. But I figured it all out and I’m having a lot of fun with it. For anything I had questions about, I was able to find a video on YouTube to help. So it all works out.

    The only complaint I really have is the directions are terrible and poorly illustrated, and I still haven’t figured out how to attach the quiver. That said this crossbow is absolutely wicked, has an incredible amount of power, it’s accurate, quiet as a whisper, and puts bolts through things you wouldn’t think was possible. Definitely not a toy! I highly recommend it to anyone considering getting one.
