Don't Cross Me
Testing the CB-150 $10 Crossbow Pistol
It took two burly manly
men to string it. The darts are sharp as hell. Why it
wouldn't penetrate cardboard is beyond me; maybe it needs to hit
absolute tip-on. The ricochet did hurt, This deal would
serve as a useful deterrent, believe me. Staring down the barrel
of this is every bit as intimidating as a pistol. It's worth $10.
1) push the cocking handle back to the front after you draw the bow - It could be causing a reduction in the force but is for sure reducing the life of the string.
I had one of these. The ends broke after about twenty shots. Therefore, I could never string it up again.
ReplyDeleteIt is very cool, but I'm still looking for one that is decently made for a reasonable price.
Perhaps if placed about an inch from the base of the skull?

ReplyDeleteNo mass = no kinetic energy.
C'est incroyable!
ReplyDeleteTwo things,
ReplyDelete1) push the cocking handle back to the front after you draw the bow - It could be causing a reduction in the force but is for sure reducing the life of the string.
2) use a heavier dart
I'd rather have this crossbow. Probably costs a bit more, though.
ReplyDeleteI have one, definitely, push the cocking bar back in before you fire it, will work WAY better
ReplyDeleteI've got an older version of that little thing and mine will shoot the nose of the bolt through a half-inch fence board from about 40feet away.
ReplyDeleteThis thing is utter crap. Don't buy it.
