They have thier disadvantages. Use special arrows and you must use a crank which makes it very slow to cock.

They shoot good but they aren't all that and a bag of cheetos. Guess what I'm saying is it's a good choice in a field where there a lot of good choices. So shop around, go shoot the bows, and get what you like best.

Ya the price tag is retarded! I got a $600 parker with lifetime warranty and is dead on out to 60 yards. I'd rather spend $2k on some Swarovski's which keep their value. I'd like to seed the scope reticle and drop chart for it but I couldn't find any.

The reticle has dots out to the 100 yds which for the range is fun but in a hunting situation is ludicrous. I think the r-15 shoots like 410fps. Even at that speed you need a sun dial to time an arrow out past 50 yds and the drop at 100yds is measured in yards not feet!!!

It's a nice light well shooting crossbow. But they advertise "this crossbow thinks it's a rifle". That's a little over the top for me for any archery equipment!
