I'm looking to buy a very similar compound crossbow....wow that's the power I'm looking for to hit targets upto 100 m, was worried the distance might be too far but judging by your skills with a frying pan I need not worry, my target will get some damage. Good shot btw.
the crossbow is worth the price, now a little more expensive than three years ago. I bought it from the store "Buchcraftlab" UK. for shooting at a distant target, it is better to use fiberglass arrows, they are much lighter and fly much further. aluminum ones have more penetrating power. They are more suitable for hunting. I advised you to buy a target for crossbow shooting, because the one made at home does not hold the arrows well.
Mate, I bought one of those bows and found the bottom cables kept fraying, does yours do the same? If so you can use your cocking rope to pull the bottom cross over string and pull up, then use 2 screwdrivers to push through the wheels holes on both sides, this loosens your strings, cut 2 thick straws and push them on both so they fit under the stock, use the cock rope again to loosen screwdrivers and no more fraying, hope this helps and saves you money, oh and dont worry about it effecting your bow cos mine is bull every time. All the best pal..😊
hello, my crossbow works perfectly, there were no problems. just need to lubricate the moving parts often, because the pulleys start to squeak. and don't forget to wax the tension ropes. this will help the crossbow to live for a long time, without repairs.
@@abariux hi mate, thanks for your reply, all I can think now is I got a faulty cam cos the bottom two cross over strings touch the top of the gap they go through and this was causing my strings to fray, the first original strings frayed in a matter of days, I should really contact the shop I got it from but since I found a way to stop the fraying as the second lot started to do the same but I noticed it in time to rectify the problem, now I've done that it works fine with the tubes, I had to do a similar thing to a pistol crossbow, it's a mantis, the screw holding the limb in place wasn't strong enough to hold it and kept coming loose every third or fourth shot, I just got some resin putty that sets like concrete, filled the gaps with it and works perfect, must have shot 60 ish bolts and no problems. Well I'm glad your bow works fine just keep an eye on the strings just in case. Both of mine work fine now but I don't want to hear on RU-vid someone bow strings snapped while cocking and ends up breaking the cam so I messaged you and also put a couple of videos on my channel so if anyone else has the same problem as me and it's such a simple fix and wanted to get the message out there. Like I said just keep an eye on it and the solution is there if needed, all the best and happy shooting, Dave. 👍😊
Sorry mate, just one quick question... Does your bottom two cables/strings touch the rail on your crossbow ? Just out of curiosity cos if they don't touch then I might ring bushcraft and see what they have to say. Thanks 👍
I still cant get over that bolt going half way through that pan, its awsome, not done that yet as ill have to visit charity shop to buy one , the mrs wont sacrifice any of her kitchen ware lol, just think if the shit hits the fan our crossbows will keep us alive, plenty of rabbits, deer, pheasants etc about to keep our bellys full, plus extremely last resort protection if the grid goes tits up, the pistol bows are loads of fun too, you can pick 80lb draw weight one for around £40 you do need stronger bolts for them, you get 3 aluminium ones which i snapped or shattered 2nd and 3rd session,, luckily i bought 60 heavy duty plastic bolts they last ages i fired 1 about 26 times and tts still ok, yep check them out, light weight easy to cock as i said loads of fun, the blade is in a league of its own though, if i had to choose one it would be the blade every time.
