50lbs Crossbow Pistol Reviews:
I think the only good point about the Chinese 50 lb Draw Pistol Crossbow is that it is cheap enough for someone who want's to get started on shooting a crossbow pistol for the first time to see if he or she likes the sport enough to continue and get something better.
Crossbows have been around for a long time and have proven themselves on the battlefield and for hunting game. With the advent of the pistol crossbow we now have a sturdy, lightweight and compact solution for crossbow enthusiasts who would like to enjoy the sport with this small model.
Our compact pistol crossbow is also extremely accurate up to 60 yards, making it a viable candidate for the hunting of small game. (Check local hunting regulations and restrictions!)
In a recent study by an independent consulting firm, hand-held bow shooters were able to keep their shots in a kill zone out to 26 yards while crossbow shooters were able to shoot equivalent groups out to 60 yards. Crossbow shooters with no prior shooting experience with any weapon were able to outperform top competitive hand-held bow shooters who were using modern compound bows equipped with sight pins and release aids! Note: We recommend extra bowstrings and arrows.

This pistol crossbow has a 50 pound draw, cocking lever, adjustable sights, safety, durable fiber construction, and comes with three plastic bolts (arrows). Bolts fired travel at 200 fps+ with pinpoint accuracy up to 60 yards.
I bought the Chinese Draw pistol crossbow because everybody i talked to said it was accurate. I thought it would be cool to shoot squirrels with while deer hunting. Its very fun to shoot but it does not shoot the same every time. I cannot find replacement string for it so I had to throw mine away. Sorry, no recommendation form me.
Overall this is not a bad 50lbs crossbow pistol I have had mine for a couple of years and it is still working I made a new string for my cross bow. This crossbow is accurate within thirty feet but with practice you could probably get good accuracy at further distances. This crossbow is potentially deadly to rabbits and squirrels within reasonable range. Overall it will get you the idea of whether or not you like crossbow shooting or not and will help you decide on whether to get a more powerful model or not.
I have bought my Chinese 50 lb draw pistol in Italy (I'm dutch) for E30, mine has an 80 lb spring which is more than sufficient for target practicing at 10 feet or so. If you buy this product, you'll probably want a whole bunch of aluminum bolts, they are light and quite strong but they get lost quit easily. The product is very accurate and powerful and the stuff to aim with is well adjustable. The only downside on this product is the weak metal strip to hold the arrow in place. I love shooting ...
My friends birthday is coming up and I thought it would be really cool to get him a cross bow. I found a little $35 dollar 50 LB crossbow on ebay and my mother said it would be okay as long as it could NOT easily kill someone. Ha ha please provide an honest answer for those of you crossbow experts out there. Is this particular crossbow fatal or not?
YES it is deadly.
They answer the question for you "2 PK 50LB PISTOL CROSSBOW Gun Hunting+30 bolts+String"
The key word is hunting.
hunt :verb (used with object) 1. to chase or search for (game or other wild animals) for the purpose of catching or "killing."
Can it kill a animal like a cayote size or bigger animals?
50lbs pistol crossbow can kill what kinds of animals?
80lbs pistol crossbow can kill what kinds of animals?
80lbs pistol crossbow can kill what kinds of animals?
Coons, woodchuck, you name it in that size range, and that crossbow will kill it. If you were close enough, you could kill a coyote (I don't want to get that close though...), but shot placement is critical. I suggest you don't shoot anything with it though. If you need to remove pests, get a .22.
I picked up one of these things at a flea mall for about 25 bucks, including the aluminum bolts with 2 little stabilizers, that come with it. It didn't think much about it, until I got it home and whoosh! Those bolts seem like they might "hurt a little". You think it would kill you getting hit in the chest with it? Or at least cause some damage? NO, I don't plan on killing anyone....unless it someone from the IRS.
Absolutely!! Always be careful where those bolts are heading. They do have enough force to kill at close range.
There was a story in the local paper here a couple of years back where 2 young boys were shooting a pistol crossbow just like yours at a target about 25 feet away. One of the boys went to set the milk jug they were shooting at back onto the box they had it on when the other boy dropped the loaded crossbow and it fired hitting the boy that was downrange. He died when the bolt struck him in the heart.
I just got my very first crossbow. On the box it had some instructions on how to put it together. There were three steps. One insert prod into stick (simple enough). Two tighten prod using the key provided (okay). Then there was step three which was, with the help of a friend apply the method illustrated as picture. It is a simple concept to grasp but I can't get the sting on the prod. Is there a simple way of getting it on.
on some of them it is actually easier to put on string then assemble the bow but would have to see exact crossbow........
and a lot of it is just "muscling" it into place..... not much to help u with ........by the way some gun shops will string them for a few bucks (or even free if u get the right good looking girl friend to go in with it and act like she doesn't know what she's doing) <<< a joke but is sadly true in a lot of cases...
