This is my first crossbow, so I did a lot of comparisons. It is easy to set up. Easy to use. Very fast and accurate. I was surprised how quiet this bow is. I am really looking forward to this hunting season.

Bought this crossbow for last season and after putting it together the quiver attachment snapped off the first time I tried to remove the quiver. The insert in the stock just spun and wouldn't get tight. When I attached the quiver lock on the stock, just seemed loose the whole time. It's a pressed insert and not much holding it from spinning. I thought the quiver was flimsy and loose when I put it on, and went to remove it and since there was play in it the quiver lock made of plastic just broke off. So I just had to carry my quiver in every trip to the stand. Not that big of deal since where it's mounted you probably would want to take if off anyways, when shooting off a gun rail. I will say this crossbow is fast we shot it through our chronograph and it was shooting 368fps. with a 125gr. 2 blade Rage practice tip and the bolts that came with the bow. It is a little louder then the other crossbows my buddies own, but they can't get over 300fps. The scope isn't real good in low light, had several opportunities where I probably could have seen my pin on my compound but couldn't make out much in the scope. It also is tough to get the eye relief setup. I have the scope mounted all the way forward on the rail and as far forward in the rings as it will go and still seems like you have to back out of it to get full view when you pull it up. That will be replaced before next season. I'm pleased with everything else so far with it, it is accurate and fast.

This is a really good crossbow. It's a lot bigger than the older ones. Really good quality. The only thing that they don't include is the catcher for the arrows so you can find them once you shoot it.

Product was just as promised. Power and accuracy are great. Only reason I didn't give it a perfect rating is because it is heavy and most of the weight is in the nose.
