   Some assembly is required, but the directions were clear. There’s an extra string that is a tool to use for installing the bow string; it makes it easy. No bow wax was include to wax the rail and string serving, so be sure to order some. It’s fairly easy to cock, and once sighted in is fairly accurate. This is not a toy, and is suitable for hunting small came. You will need a crossbow target for shooting. You’ll probably want to purchase extra bolts as well. All of that being said it’s just a lot of fun to shoot, and is pretty accurate up to about 30 feet. It’s surprisingly powerful, and could be used for self defense in a pinch.

   It wasnt too difficult to put together and its pretty easy to cock. The red dot is a little flimsy and is prone to move a little bit wich throws it off…..but once it is sighted in the thing is dead accurate for 30 yards but then it starts to drop….the botls that come with it are flimsy and very easy to break so im glad i bought some better bolts seperate….while the draw weight is only 60 lbs….it will kill small game…i just dispatched an armadillo on my farm with a headshot for 15 or 20 meters…overall its worth more than what i payed

   Instructions for setup completely horrible. Even worse is the safety, as you can see by the pictures of my hand while trying to string this budget pistol crossbow. The pullback mechanism broke free from the base pistol crossbow and almost took a finger with it. Instead it took a piece of my palm. Unsafe, poor instructions, budget configuration. For the record I have set up many a crossbow and even a few of these pistol crossbows, I know they can be tricky and adapt as necessary, but in hindsight this was just strictly unsafe and should not be on the market as is. If nothing else the safety mechanism is not safe, stay away.

   The bow is not stringable. The stringer doesn’t helps since the bow just doesn’t bends. I even used a motorized winch and it didn’t bend. The instructions are bad, but that doesn’t matter since I figured out what needs to be done. But because the bow just wouldn’t bend it was useless. Totaly waste of money

   This is a great mini crossbow with quality materials. It took me a while to figure out how to string it properly. Here are a few hints : – do not follow the string installation on Youtube. The stringer provided in the package is different. Follow the direction from the provided instruction booklet instead – make sure the stringer is attached to the tips of both ends of the bow limb – if the stringer does not pull the bow limb back far enough for the string to be attached, you can shorten the stringer by tying another dead knot at the end of the stringer’s rope. This was exactly what I did to get the bow strung. Once this is all set, the mini crossbow provides lots of fun for target shooting indoor or outdoor. I would also recommend to get a better red dot sight instead of using the one in the package. This crossbow is very accurate with a good red dot sight.

   It has perfect handle. It also makes it easy for self-assembly.

   The x-bow is good quality and really zings the bolts out there. I shot a bolt at a pallet from about 30 yards. The bolt sunk into the wood and I could only remove it be unscrewing the tip on it. Plenty of power for any varmint or small game. This is NOT a toy.
   Now on to the package deal. This was the upgraded package that included the red dot sight. This sight is worthless. Cheapest piece of junk I’ve ever used. It’s plastic, you can’t really see the dot at all, and the plastic glass you can hardly see though. There is no way this will ever be accurate with this red dot on it. I took it back off and am using the “iron sights”. At 20 yards I can put 3 bolts into the size of a quarter on the target. It took a lot of fiddling to get the sights right on at 20 yards. However, after getting sighted in I could never get more than 3 in a group. I shot at least 50 times after being sighted in and there would always be several going way outside of where I aimed.
   One thing I’d like to see for this little x-bow would be judo tips for the bolts. If you’re shooting at a squirrel the field tips will just pass right on through. Or, if you miss there’s probably no chance you will ever find that bolt again. It has plenty of power for a judo tip and plenty of power to harvest game humanly with a judo tip.

   This was my first crossbow so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. I was amazed at the power and accuracy of this little crossbow. I buried a bolt 3 inches into a tree from 100 feet! And with the red dot sight it was only a few inches off target.
   My only complaint is the instructions for assembly. The fore grip photos/directions are a joke and the stringing instructions leave much to be desired. It took me about half an hour to figure it all out but in the end it works beautifully.
