I normally don't write reviews, but I always read them. I bought this crossbow because it was on sale for $220 originally priced $700. This is my first crossbow and don't really know much about them, but from reading the reviews I think people were not using the ratchet cranking system correctly and because of that they drop the price. I think it's a great crossbow, especially for the money. The scope was way off when I tried to zero it, but maybe I was not supposed to zero it at 20 yards cuz as I said, this is my first crossbow. It shoots really well, and once I zeroed the scope it was pretty accurate even though the arrows that it comes with the tips fall off. I bought some inexpensive arrows off of Amazon, and I think the crossbow is well worth the money.
First crossbow, so not much to compare to. But it fires and looks great. I love the crank system. I upgraded the scope, but out of the box pretty accurate, a great beginner's bow as I’m intrigued and excited about bow hunting. Only complaint so far is that less than a week later, they reduced the price by $30.
