First, I want to say I bought this crossbow first time, I had never owned a crossbow before, my knowledge came from youtube videos and other reviews. I had no idea what to expect from it. The first thing that impressed me is the amount of power of this machine, apparently a 185 draw weight and 370 feet per second is a ton of power when it came to crossbows, i quickly realize this a all my bolts where going straight through the target and landing somewhere else. I really underestimated how powerful it is, never the less I do not regret it. Some information that i think people will find useful when buying this is that it already brings a cocking device and it brings its own wax for string and rail. Don't be a newbie like me that bought those items thinking it did not come with it. Conclusion, I do not think is a weapon that is to be taken lightly, it commands respect and it should be handled very carefully and buy a target that can take shots of over 400 FPS if not you'll ruin your bolts as the crossbow would easily put them right through targets that cannot take the shot. In my newbie opinion, love the crossbow. well worth my money

This is a little bit of a good-news, bad-news situation.

The Good:
-Overall really liked the bow.
-Setup was fairly easily
-Included optic is not amazing, but fine.
-Shot very well. Threw some Piledrivers on there, and it was comfortable out to 60 yards with groups inside 4 inches.

The Bad:
-I got the bow in late October (about 3.5 months ago). After about 25 shots to sight in, and half a dozen quick morning hunts where I didn't shoot anything, one of the limbs started splitting sometime on the morning of my first big weekend-long hut. Was sitting in a blind and noticed it as the sun came up.

Was a little disappointed, but am willing to chalk it up to bad luck, and will update review as the return process goes.

Edit:

Contacted Crosman, and they sent out a replacement set of limbs with sting attached already. Swapped them out, and we're good to go in short order. Good service. Revised score.

Awesome crossbow. Unbelievable speed and accuracy. I did not expect this to be as good as it is. The assembly instructions were not bad at all like some reviews reflect. Just follow them step by step and don't get in a rush. The scope is just fine too. There is no need to replace it with a more expensive one, you'll be doing nothing but wasting your money. It has selectable reticle brightness with red or green and it work perfectly. The arrows/bolts that come with it are ok but really for practice only Get yourself a set of new 20 inch half moon arrows/bolts with some good broadheads and you will be pleasantly surprised. Use 20 inch only like the instructions say. And make sure the knocks are half moon (AKA "moon") or you'll get yourself hurt or damage your string or bow. This crossbow is narrower than most so its easier to navigate through the woods. It comes with everything you need with the exception of the arrow/bolt comment above. The adjustable buttstock release lever does have a rattle to it from having a little slop in it but was fixed by a 5 cent rubber o-ring. The strings on the scope cover will catch on every single branch in the woods and you'll lose that in a hurry if your not careful. I like to keep mine on until I get in my stand to keep the morning dew off the lenses as much as possible. I cannot express how accurate and powerful this crossbow is. I've only used it for deer so far but I've got 3 this year in Oklahoma. Its a good quality item. It may not have the fancy popular vanity brand names that some hunters think they have to have to get a deer, but it will do the same if not better for much less money. I have 2 of these vanity crossbows in my closet and they are going on craigslist if that tells you anything. I love this centerpoint. It's made by Crossman, the pellet gun company. Right after I bought this bow I seen a recall on the "recall wall" at Wallyworld. It was for the cocker/decocker only. I went home and checked it out and the one that came with my crossbow was one of the new ones not under recall. They are only shipping these bows with the new cocker/decockers so no need to worry about the recall if you buy a new one. Get one of these crossbows and you will be happy.

Super fast super cool looking light and handy. The string suppressor things are cheap and broke off same for the arrows it came with they sucked. Bought quality arrows this thing is super accurate great for the money definitely quieter than crossbows I've heard in the past more of a loud crack than a long "thunggg" sound. When the string suppressors broke off it didn't make much sound difference def would buy again

Terrific package Deal. Great value for the money and the scope is outstanding. Adjustable stock is nice. Shoots extremely well, very fast and packs a punch. Even has a sling, comfortable to carry in the woods. Bolts that come with it are not reliable though, 1 of the 3 consistently shot about 2 inch's to the right so I use that as a de-cocker, but I didn't buy for the 3 bolts. Easy assembly comfortable to shoot. I am not a fan of the bolt retention on it either but the bolt certainly isn't coming loose when your on the move in the woods. You need to use Bolts that are smooth with this. Great product.
