It shoots quite powerfully and is pretty accurate. Given its lbs of pull and accuracy, could be lethal. The aluminum bolts are more accurate but are only good for 1 or 2 shots but the plastic bolts seem to last forever.

They look cool as heck! This is awesome.

It's good practice to apply string wax and rail lube to this crossbow as you would to a full-sized crossbow to increase its usable life. Waxing it helps decrease the friction against the crossbow and the string.

A trick to stringing this super difficult bow is to insert, but not clamp, the limb at first. Be sure to buy plastic bolts and lube the bowstring. It comes with 3 aluminum arrows.

This would be an awesome crossbow but it has some obvious flaws that hold it back. I'm not sure if this is actually the prophecy 80 lbs crossbow or a chinese knockoff. Well made but, not great.

The rail is only on the bottom part. Within 24 hrs of the bow string being attached, the bow delaminates and lost all its strength. Spend the extra money to get a proper handheld cross bow.
