Great cross bow for the money. Also purchased the arrow that Amazon said other also bought. I ordered the bolts that were recommended. They are not strong enough for this crossbow. The bolt shattered and the string broke. Very lucky not to get hurt. Only order bear bolts or bolts of equal quality

The crossbow is great. The scope took me a minute to get used to, but works amazingly well. I am just getting it dialed in, but it is super accurate and incredibly powerful. Make certain that you have a really strong target as it will shoot through any sort of youth target.

I have had a much less powerful crossbow in the past that was a lot of fun to shoot but nothing like this. This is definitely some thing with which you can shoot big game.

I was very impressed with the whole package. It is a heavy duty crossbow. Pros, fast 400 fps, accurate, safety items anti dry fire feature, good trigger. Cons, fairly heavy,cocking is very physical, biggest problem is the scope. I will be replacing. Amazon sells the same scope for 29$. Need I say more. Lastly is the bolts that come with the package suck. First arrow came out of the target with no tip. I did buy different ones that stay together. The price point is the attraction however plan on getting a new scope if you are using it to hunt game with. Edit I have now had this crossbow for a month or so and have a few comments. After shooting the crossbow around 200 times the bow string failed badly. It became unusable. Called the people at bear and was told the string and cable were not under the warranty. They did say they would send me a new string. That would last another month. Also learned that installation of string and cable have to be done by an archery shop. I have found a shop that specializes in the string and cable replacement however they just manufacture the string and cable. I have ordered a set and will edit the outcome when I get them replaced The set I ordered is waxless and waterproof which is great. Closest archery shop 70 mi one way!
Last update another month has passed. My waxless string/cable never happened.After almost a month later I called to check on the string/cable and found out the waxless features are only for compound bows.
Ordered from 60 X archery and 3 days later had the string/cable and Sportsmans warehouse installed in about 15 minutes. I like the quality way better then Bears string. Can consistently hit 6" bullseye at 50 yds.

The scope is like a $15 model.

Bought this for my husband for our anniversary. He loved it. It is pretty accurate right out of the box, he had about two small adjustments for the sight and that was it. It is powerful. At the time we only had my daughter youth compound target and it blasted through that like it was butter. He definitely loved it.
