Instructions brief but, doable. Stringing it isn't as hard if you just use a little imagination. Accurate out of the box. Power seems accurate, lost a bolt after the 3rd shot, just kept going...not a toy.

Takes muscle and leverage to get the cable on, but when sighted in it is fairly accurate.
Fun toy. You'll need replacement bolts when they break.

It's a neat little crossbow

Based on other reviews before purchasing, I expected it to be truly rough to string this, but it turned out that it's probably very hard to do with only 2 hands. After I got my wife to literally lend a hand, it was strung quickly on the first joint attempt (me bending the bow and her attaching the loop on the last end).

I haven't tried shooting it yet, nor have I seen the pesky raccoon that had been raiding our attic since this arrived, so maybe they saw the Amazon delivery and cleared out? If they didn't, I'll have a different greeting for them the next time I see them... I did order a 24-pack of broadheads too, because 3 bolts is really not enough, and if I find a quiver for a low price, I'll maybe grab that too. The rear sight was obviously way off to one side out of the box, but the range that I expect an encounter is less than 15', so I expect it to be point and shoot easy.

I'll update after my safari, if there's anything useful to be found.

The crossbow looks great and it is lightweight. However, it doesn't feel sturdy or well made in hands. It is made from aluminum and hard plastic, but it doesn't feel solid and the cocking mechanism feels flimsy. The instructions are very confusing, so I needed to get extra information online to assemble it safely because it isn't a toy. It can be dangerous if the bow flys out of its frame or the string came loose in action when not installed properly. You do need two people to get the installation done because you need an extra pair of hands for the string to get on both ends of the bow. I bench over 225, so I can bend the bow easily with both of my arms, but I can't loop the string while both of my hands are occupied, so my friend needed to complete that easy task for me. If two of you still can't do it, then go YouTube for some good videos for advice.

The crossbow is pretty accurate in 15-foot range and the sight is adjustable for better aim. It is pretty fun because it is quiet and 80-lb strength can really make some damage to anything. I can hunt small games silently in the wood with it and it will not scare other animals away.

The negative is the bolts are cheaply made and not durable at all because I already broke one bolt from pulling it out of a target made from cardboards. I will need to invest for extra bolts if this crossbow lasts longer than the remaining two bolts. I will update after a few weeks for true durability.
