   Wow! I’m impressed. I thought this thing would be a toy. I was way wrong! I can shoot it open sighted at 30 yards and hit 4″ in any direction of the bullseye. The penetration is phenomenal. If shot accurately, this thing is lethal to just about anything that gets in its way so be extremely cautious. This is not a toy. Although, it is extremely fun to shoot and hard to stop shooting. I don’t want to put it down. The sights are cheap. Once you get it sighted in don’t touch, bump, or breathe on it because you will knock it out of alignment. Eventually, I want to get a laser sight for it. I just bought a .22 air rifle that shoots 1,200 fps. I have barely shot it. I have been too busy shooting the mini crossbow, which I actually bought for my brother for a Christmas present. You know, I had to sight it in for him. It’s the decent thing to do 🙂 I have read that there are cheap knock offs out there. Mine says it is from KingsArchery and is labeled a self-cocking Cobra Pistol Crossbow. It seems pretty sound except for the sights. For the price, I would buy it again. I’ve read that the metal arrows that come with the bow break after a few shots. They are comprised of three pieces. Tip, shaft, and veins. The vein to the shaft connection seems a little weak but I lost the first arrow and have only shot the plastic ones since. So I never broke one. I lost one plastic arrow while sighting the bow in. Broke one by hitting the plywood backstop while sighting in, and have shot the 3rd plastic arrow about 20 times at a cardboard box filled with flattened card board boxes with a pretty consistent grouping and that one plastic arrow has held up fine. It goes through 8 layers of cardboard very easily. Yet not enough to to lose the arrow. It’s kind of hard to see in the photo but at 30 yards I hit 1″ away from the bullseye.

   On arrival the box looked more like a cheap toy but thankfully the contents were much better than the box led me to believe. Inside is everything you need except line wax, you’ll need that if you don’t already have any. As to how to put it together use this along with the information that comes with. First take one of the rubber pads and a couple drops of superglue and place it center of the rear side of the bow facing you. Next do the same on the other side with the other pad. Next if you do not have anyone to help bend the bow you can do it yourself. First unscrew the nut in front at least half way so there is plenty of room to push the bow through the hole. Next push the bow, without string, through that hole. Do not tighten the screw down or put the metal plate in yet. Next once the metal bow is in remember to put the two plastic tip caps on at each end tip. Then put on loop of the line on one end. Next put the end of the bow on the ground/floor. Then use both hands and all your weight to push, bend, compress the bow so you can get the other end of the line loop onto the top of the bow. It took me about three tries to get it but it wasn’t too hard. Just takes a bit of patience. Once done then put the metal plate inside against the rubber pad. there is a small divot on one side of the plate. that faces out so the screw pushes into that. line it up best you can then start to tighten the screw down using the included tool. once the bow is flat against the plates and fully tightened your work is done. Having gotten past that part what is not shown is how to use it? I know how a crossbow works but this one is a little different. First above the handle or above this round ‘snake emblem’ is a small black plastic piece. You need to press down on it to pull the string back and cock it. I have to push the bottom tip into the floor and then push that tab and pull the handle back to pull the string tight. Once you’ve done that it is ready to use. Above the grip, below the sight is the scored copper color ‘safety bar.’ Once cocked you need to push the right side forward with your thumb to release it and fire. i included a short video to show that part out. The three arrows that come with are nice little metal arrows. The extra couple dozen that are included too are a little different. those are all plastic in construction and about an inch longer. Regardless just put the arrows in the groove, slide/push them back until they click under and behind the metal clip that’s directly above the trigger. Just slide into place, click in place and ready to use. Overall when compared to others sold here I think this is a good choice. It is reasonably priced for what it is. The materials are very good for the most part. Being able to put it together by yourself without needing someone else like most others is great. The inclusion of the extra mini arrows is nice. It is light and well balanced in the hand. That makes it not only easy to hold but easy to aim as well. The biggest negative is the absolutely terrible instructions to get started. It is as if they didn’t even try? that’s the reason for four not five stars, it all comes down to those horrible instructions. All said I would purchase this again and would recommend this to anyone looking for a small handheld crossbow.
