Overview
A dual-cable system works the limbs of this compact aluminum crossbow, and a micro-adjust draw lets the shooter tune the setup with a hex key. Dry-fire protection is built in, and arrows, wax and a wrench come with it.
Light weight, an ambidextrous layout and a starter set of arrows, wax and a wrench are the reasons to look. The limit is conflicting draw weight figures and no scope or stock detail.
Who it's for
Shooters of either hand who want a compact crossbow they can tune with a hex key are the target. Anyone who needs a confirmed draw weight, a sight, or a cocking aid, and anyone new to crossbow safety, should read the maker's manual first.
Pros and cons
- Micro-adjust draw for tuning
- Arrows, wax and wrench included
- Draw weight figures conflict
- No scope or sight listed
- Overall dimensions given in one field
Performance notes
A dual-cable compound system stores energy in the limbs, and draw weight and draw length together set arrow speed. The title quotes a speed rating, but the figures for pull strength disagree, so real speed depends on the actual setting. Micro-adjust draw and dry-fire protection support tuning and safer handling.
