This crossbow is great fun - well worth the low price. I shoot it at 10 to 15 yards and it is more than accurate enough to hit balloons at these ranges.

I've seen these advertised as reaching 200 fps, but I chronographed mine at only 150 fps at about 3 feet. On the plus side they extreme spread in velocity was only a few fps.

I want a refund. It arrived late, took a half an hour to assemble it and then when I pulled it back the string snapped. I have been trying to contact the seller for a month and he wont reply It may be cheep but its a waste of time.

This bow is great for recreation target shooting, and it's easy to load.

It was a really powerful crossbow, but it had a lot of flaws. Mainly, the thing would'nt [...] back, and once it did, the safety would fail and shoot by its self! Unsafe. It was very hard to [...] back, but when it did work, i was very satisfied. I only got three shots out before the cocking mechanism broke of the rails. oh well.

It took forever to get my pistol, never did get the extra arrows, but it doesn't matter the first time I shot it, it broke. oh well.

I bought this same crossbow for my own little X-mas present and I wanted to kick myself for even thinking that it would be worth it. First off the string has to be put on yourself! If you know how it will take about 15 minutes If you don't then don't bother you will end up trying to find something to help get it on easier (like a screwdriver) and your line will snap.Yes, I did this because after a half hour of trying to put it together I was desperate. Needless to say you actually have to twist the string just right to get it to go on (even on my 2nd string I still used something to pry it on). It's really impossible to do it without using something for leverage. Ok, once you finally get the string on you will think that you are ready to go...not so. The string, once cocked back and safety on, is in a very dangerous place...I had it go off repeatedly even in safety! Stupid crazy!! You would think this was enough, but(lol) when I did get it working properly after several repeated attempts when I would press the trigger, the string would actually go right over the arrows and just hit air. This now happens on every attempt. Bottom line I say just get the arrows and throw them yourself... you will get more enjoyment!

Well 1st of all hard to install the string but found a way to do it~~~The end caps,plastic that protect the strin broke after about 9 shots and had to take them off and restring without them~~One of my last shots a small spring popped out~~????~~Wonder where it came from?~~Also 3 of the bolts holding the gun together were loose and one nut came undone and i lost it~~The 2 end caps that hold the sight and cocker in place are plastic and weak and one broke on me when one bolt came loose~metal would have been better to prevent this~~All in all if u are going to buy one dont buy it or buy the cheapest one u can and modify or improve it~~~Not really worth the money~~I bought 2, one from here and ebay and were made by the same place in taiwan~~Both the same poor quality~

when first received item, the initial string broke when loading, but pistol seeme dof good solid quality. However, got a new string, installed it, and that portion seems to work fine, but the bolt doesn't really shoot, it kinda pops off and immediately falls to the ground. It is a very disappointing item, I would not recommend that anyone purchase this

The best cross bow toy you will ever buy. These little fifty pounders are the neatest thing to build some arm and finger strength and to just have fun target shooting. Good luck and have fun :)

I received this in the mail the other day, you will need help assembling the string. When you finish putting it together it really does work great. I just ordered more arrows for when I target practice. Overall great item, I use it all the time.
