I got this crossbow right on time the exact date it said Feb 16 2011. This crossbow is really powerful i would take cation when shooting it. Ok i shot it over 23 times already , the bolts that it comes with a very reliable and the tips are sharp.Just as an example of how powerful this bow is , i shot at a 2x4 piece of wood on a fence ,a house wall , an old tv , and a stop sign . yess i know but i was bored . but any way it went right through each of them no problem so you could imagine what it would do to flesh.As for the scope , the red dot sight is nice and pretty accurate you might have to adjust it before target shooting tho.If you rather have a different sight , it comes with an iron sight as well. It also comes with the strap and rail lube .Rail lube helps maintain your bow string from wereing down and it reduces friction so it shoots alot smother. The distances i shot at ,10 20 30 35 yards ,were pretty acurate ,40 yards i say is pushing it. It comes with a rope cocking device that loads it a lot easier than by hand .The color is the camo that you see in the picture but its a little bit darker and not as animated looking in reality so it looks better. Asembly is very easy and if you need help there is a video on youtube to help . just type in infurno furry cross bow asembly and it should work. I would recomend this crossbow to anyone starting out or any one new to them .Comment on any questions you have about this item i check them daily and will be gald to help you ,also let me know if my review helped any . Thank you.

was EASY to put together, handles extremely well, love the 3 dot scope that came with it, the arrows iheard are crappy but i have fired them dozens of times now and havent had a single problem with them at all, i picked up anice target to shoot at in my backyard that cost 50 bucks. overall i would reccomend this bow.

I got this crossbow with no expectation because I'm amateur in the crossbow realm. This thing kicks ass! Very accurate and powerful. If used for self defense it is a silent killer. For hunting I can see this being very useful. Very durable not easy to break structure. The site that comes with it is a little cheesy and the rod dot works fine. Unless I was doing some serious hunting or competition I see no need to upgrade it. Very happy with this purchase. Thinking about buying another one as a gift. Video coming soon.

Seriously man I had my doubts. I haven't shot a crossbow in years and I haven't been hunting in just as long. But all that's about to change; This crossbow is an excellent tool! Extremely powerful! I live in downtown Chicago so I had to dial it in down in the basement and well, I shot a hole right through my target and on through my two ply, metal, back door! My wife is going to kill me, haha! It only took me four shots to dial it in. It is definitely dead on balls accurate and powerful. The Instructions make it simple to put it together, however, it's hard to understand a couple of the pictures. You can figure it out, if you use your noggin. I will say though, BEWARE OF THE PULLY STRING! I am talking about the cocking string accessory that is supposed to help you in cocking the weapon. It will tear up your rail if your not careful. Be very careful. I only scratched the paint but i can see if i pushed it, I could have done some serious damage. I will just stick to manually loading the weapon. It's much more personal that way anyway; So, If you are new to shooting crossbows or an ol' shooter returning to the hunt, I highly recommend you pick up this crossbow! IN THE BOX: Comes with one kick a** crossbow, one tube of rail lube, removable adjustable rear iron site/open sight, red dot sight(has no magnification, just a decent sight. But it's Not cheesy at all), a String Pulley Cable(this is what I warned you about;), slightly padded shoulder strap(it's decent but a little short for a 6'2" person), a foot brace which is heaven for cocking the weapon, a stringer cable to help with changing strings, and (4)Four 16" arrows. It can take 20" arrows as well. Optimal performance for broad heads = 100grain broadhead with a 20" arrow and a 125grain for the 16" arrow. Well, I think that about covers it. This puppy is mobile, agile and hostile....Happy Hunting.

**UPDATE** I almost want to take a star away for not being able to find replacement strings! I even went to inferno website and no dice. If anyone can help me out as to where to find replacement strings, I would greatly appreciate it!!
***UPDATE2*** The Fiberglass limb is starting to splinter after approximately 100 shots!

AS you can see I was very impressed at first, however, after using this bow for target practice the limb started to splinter after only 100 shots.

Great power, easy assembly, easy to cock (even at 175#) particularly with the including cocking rope. Bolts are high-quality. Red-dot sight is a very nice bonus - three vertical dots help with elevation choice. Very accurate out of the box and sighted in it can be scary accurate at several tens of yards. Quieter than a compound crossbow.

These are not completely bad but there are issues that consumers need to know about.

First, these are Asian imports and sold as Arrow Precision Inferno Fury, Crossman Crown 175, Centerpoint-Crown 175, etc. The problem is that strings will wear and will be difficult to replace. Please do a search on the web to make sure you can replace your strings when they wear.

Secondly, be sure to purchase a crossbow with full specs. Make sure that you can either identify the total weight in grains, of the bolts that it shoots. From what I have found, the 16" aluminum bolts have a total weight of just under 400 grains. That is important to know because aluminum bolts will bend and you will lose your accuracy. Once you do, you will want to replace them with something of the same weight or higher. Shooting bolts lighter than recommended is as bad as dry firing.

I have one of these and it shoots great. I replaced the arrows with 322 grain Horton carbon arrows and added 100 grain tips for a total weight of 422 grain. It shoots around 250-260 FPS.
It is fun but I want to replace it with a crossbow that has better market support for replacement parts and shoots at least 300 FPS.

I purchased Arrow Precision Inferno Fury crossbow kit from Amazon for $175 on 8/3/11 and received it the next day. This is the first crossbow I've ever owned, and I have gotten great comments on it from several veteran hunters about how well put together the Fury Crossbow is. Out of the box, I had no problems assembling it, until I got to the stringing part, which was a little difficult based on the picture instructions, so I needed a second person for that part. Once I got the bow fully assembled, I sighted it at 15 yards first to get a hang of it, then I sighted it at 25 yards, with consistant accuracy powerful enough to penetrate my homemade block, which I made by stuffing cardboard and hay into a laundry bag made out the same material as the blue FRAKTA Ikea shopping bag, then wrapping it in duct tape, instead of spending $100-$200 on a store bought Block. Styrofoam works great as a filler as well since it is a dense material. The first time I tried to use the pull string, it scratched the rail, so I prefer to pull the string manually. My Wife Shot the crossbow and was able to hit the bullsey at 20 yards on her first time ever shooting anything, so that should speak volumes about the scope and ease of use once its sighted correctly. The bolts are great for the target practice, but I do plan on getting new ones since these have been my practice ones.

Replacement String: I have read so many reviews and comments about not being able to find a replacement string. Did anyone every think to CALL Arrow Precision? Well, I called them after reading the previous reviews and they have the replacement strings in stock. Its $15/per string + $5 for shipping and handling. Send them a check or money order for $20 including your address, quantity of "Fury #127" string you want to order and you get your long awaited replacement string. The number is listed on their website. arrow-precision.com. I sent my money order today 10/7/11, so I will send an update once I have received the string.

Hope this helps!!!

bought it for my husband he seems to like it had to buy new cocker the one they sent broke first day but he it happy otherwise!

My husband bought this kit for me because we bought some wooded property earlier this year. I'm disabled but still enjoy the outdoors, so we thought it would be fun if I had a chance to try bow hunting this October. I don't know how it compares to other crossbows since this is the only one I've ever tried, but I know this is a fairly popular model,everything works the way it should, and all I needed was to set up a target and I was good to go.

I bought it at Theisen's for $129. Can't beat the price.

Now, where do I get a replacement 26.5" 175 lb string when I need one? I've scoured the net, and I'm not seeing one.
