Overview
Newer crossbow shooters get an easy-to-handle compact setup with the CenterPoint Hornet. A mini break-barrel cocking mechanism cocks the recurve limbs, and the title says it ships with a clear red dot sight.
A light aluminum build and break-barrel cocking make this crossbow quick to ready. The limitation is information: the included components list names only the crossbow, which conflicts with the title's mention of a sight.
Who it's for
A right-handed archer after a small, light crossbow for target practice. A buyer expecting bolts, a quiver or a cocking aid in the box should confirm contents first.
Pros and cons
- Light aluminum build
- Five-year limited warranty
- Included items conflict with title
- Bolts not listed
- Draw length data is unclear
Performance notes
Draw weight and limb type set the energy delivered to the bolt, and the listing states a speed figure for it. Break-barrel cocking uses the barrel as a lever to pull the string. Real speed varies with bolt weight, which is not listed.
