Worth the money for a first time crossbow hunter? I compound bow hunt and rifle hunt. I know what I am doing I just want to make sure it has the power

I bought one for the wife and was surprised that it is plenty strong enough (I have to pull it back for her). My compound is set at 65# and it easily shoots as strong as that. The arrows are cheap (buy some carbons). I couldn't tweak it in with the peep sights so i put the scope on (it was a little difficult) and it shoots fine. All in all plenty of power and well worth the price. I would suggest a puller as it cocks the string evenly.

It covers 50 yds in a second! fairly flat at that distance in terms of elevation.

We have. It has enough power and accuracy for a starter bow. We will eventually upgrade to compound crossbows but this one is working great so far

For the price I would recommend it for his first crossbow. You have crossbows and you have compound crossbows. It depends on how much you want to spend and your range. Also, keep in mind the replacement strings for the Barnett crossbows are more than double the cost verses the Inferno Fury.

altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its hard to get em back out from say 25-30 yards.

The bow is for basic learning designed for small kids. It teaches basic skills but has no power for hunting or even being used for distant target practice. I would go to any store that sells bows and see if you are strong enough to pull back and hold 25lbs. If you can I would buy a more powerful adjustable bow. If you can't this bow is for you.

No scope, no quiver, no bolts, comes as just the base crossbow; everything needed to fire it. It's a really good bow, love it, Horton hasn't made crossbow's for about a year now, so you might want to consider getting a new string. After about 50 shots I had to change mine, total of $40. Also the crossbow comes in camo, not black, but you can see that from the other comments.

My 18 year old daughter likes the bow alot. She is a new hunter to bow hunting so we are not sure yet how she will love it. I have been shooting this bow with her and I like it. Of coarse the arrows are not the greatest but they are good for practicing. We have had alot of fun with this bow so far.

It's very real but it is smaller then a normal crossbow but still packs the same punch! I personally love it! You will either have to mod it or figure out a good grip to handle it. I use two hands on the main hand grip and hold normally. It is awesome. I promise I'm real too not some computer. Look up bobby whitter on YouTube I don't think I have a video review..... Yet >:)

The hard part of putting the crossbow is stringing it. You need a strong person to bend the bow and you canstring it. The scope I think is a cheap one so I left it off the bow. If you are a good shooter, you won't havetrouble shooting it.

This is for an adult and more than legal to hunt with. I love it, shoots accurate after you sight it in . It requires the sight and arrow rest to be installed but if yo don't know how you can go to Dicks sporting goods or probably most any sporting goods store and they can do it fairly cheap also they can nock it and adjust the draw weight to a lower weight (so a kid could use it to) but I am not certain how low it will go. 40 pounds is the minimum weight for a compound bow in Ohio to hunt with.

I agree with "daddyo". I will be hunting with Arrow Precision 6 Pack Carbon Arrows (20-Inch) tipped with G5 Outdoors T3 100 Grain 3 Pack Crossbow Broadhead. With the bolts and tips that came with it I am hitting groups the size of my fist at 25 yards and the last time I was firing it I actually "Robin Hooded" one of my bolts. Split the end of the bolt with another bolt. Very cool story but terribly unfortunate for my bolt count.

Bow hunting is a fairly technical activity. I recommend lot's of study, training and practice before going hunting. But: No, don't hunt with these.

Honestly look for wooden stock crossbows they are in the 50 to 75 dollar range and will last much longer. By stock I mean the part that rests against the shoulder. I have researched a couple I saw on amazon and they appear to be better quality there by making them less dangerous.

Haven't really searched for the info you want, but all I can say is that my SLS Crossbow was definitely not 630.00 and it is the one that shoots 366 feet per second. I couldn't be more pleased with the one I have. It is a killing machine out to the maximum distance I want to shoot, which is 50 yards. I only hunt White Tail Deer with it on a lease in Kentucky. The only thing that could be improved on it would be less weight in the future models, since it is a heavy bow to carry around, but I also think that the heaver the bow, probably like a well built heavy rifle, makes it more accurate. This bow will do the job for you and put the meat on the table and the heads on the wall, if you so desire. I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to purchase a decent priced, quality built bow. Killer Cotton

If I were you, I would buy a bow with a stronger draw weight so that it can grow with you. It would be ideal for you now, but you will get drastically stronger over the next few years, and you will wish for a stronger bow. I know that for the price, this one has nice features, but I would recommend spending a bit more and getting a better bow. You aren't a beginner, so you will be left wanting for more with this bow.
