Southland Archery Supply 80 Pound Self-Cocking Pistol Crossbow (Pistol Crossbow with Grip + 27 Arrows)

Needs some sight adjusting but good product. Crumby instruction Manuel

DANGEROUS!! So, wanted to have this ready to go for my daughter Christmas morning. First time crossbow is all she's talked about for 2 years. So, I wanted to be able to have a mother daughter moment by knowing all the ends and outs to be the one to teach her confidently . I also wanted to make sure it was working correctly and safely, and in addition know exactly how powerful it was before we set up targets to shoot. All pieces were there and everything worked smoothly as it should with ease. HOWEVER!! ON THE FIRST SHOT, THE END CAP THAT HOLDS THE STRING ON ONE END SNAPPED ON RELEASE. THE PIECE WAS A HARD POLYMER THAT BECAME A PROJECTILE THAT SHOT OUT SIDEWAYS WITH SO MUCH FORCE IT LODGED INTO THE ALUMINUM SIDING OF THE BARN NEXT TO ME!!!!!!!!!! THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MY DAUGHTER ON CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!!! or my daughter could have killed her mother Christmas morning with the crossbow she begged me for!!!!!! Who the?? why the hell would knobs be separate pieces on the arm anyway? Why not all one piece of fabricated metal? Or at the very least a screw on metal piece? Who the heck thought it was a good idea to use freaking hard plastic as the material for the part of the crossbow that is under the most pressure???!!!!!! I am so rattled, angry, and in utter disbelief that this product is on the market!!!!! The bolt sunk into the target completely- very powerful, but not safely engineered to handle all that power!! All I can think about is how my glowing smiling daughter would have been close next to me watching closely, anxious to make her first shot that she would have never gotten to take 😢 and I would have killed my daughter with a weapon she convinced me to get that i finally agreed to after many no's because of worry!! Give my baby a gift that I end up killing her with on Christmas for my big bonding mother daughter chrimas moment??!!!!JESUS!!!!mother's and fathers, everyone beware! Even if the projectile didn't land to make a kill... permanent disfigurement and or disability at the very least to any living being beside me!!! The blunt plastic shard BENT METAL SIDING SO MUCH ON IMPACT IT STERTCH THE METAL UNTIL IT WAS COMPLETELY LODGED!! Had to use a knife to dig it out!!!!Thank God I tested it first and thank God my partner or dog was not on that side of me when I did... THE VERY FIRST SHOT!

So it started out fine, The box arrived a little bit early which made me happy and then I opened it up and all the tools and stuff were in there so I started putting it together it is a little bit difficult to get the crossbow strained but I just took like one of the Home Depot buckets and then pushed down until I could wrap the end of the string around the other side. then I started shooting and quickly became annoyed by the fact that I had to hold down the safety for a to shoot. also no matter what I did that I would never shoot the same spot twice. I actually rigged it up so that it would not move at all and I shot a few shots and they never shot in the same spot and then I realized the saftey bar thing wasnt there!! Another thung is that the rubber tips on the cocking bars flew off on like the second shot. Overall it eouod have been a great wrapon if it had all of the parts. Idk if the company will send me the part or a while new one but if i dont get a response then i will just return the whole thing.😢

The crossbow will not hold the string back after you try and reset the cocking assistDo not buy. Try another

Nice little bow once I figured out the assembly

The screw for the sight bar was too small to hold would unscrew itself after firing once or twice. After fixing this issue with my own parts the safety then stopped working and i had to disassemble it again to bend it back into place very disappointed with this product

The media could not be loaded. the bow is absolutely worthless, is the rest of the setup decent? yes but if you purchase this crossbow go to a archery store near you and buy a better aftermarket bow for it and I'm sure it will be okay. the cocking mechanism works just fine.

The bow was impossible to string even with muiltple people trying don't waist your money on this
