Outstanding, I haven't had a crossbow in many years but since it's legal for me to hunt with it now I'm planning on picking one up this spring to prep out for hunting season this year. Post some pics when you get to shoot it if you don't mind.

dont have a portable camera. ive been using the one built into my laptop. but i can give updates. shot it today. dead on at 30 yards (the farthest i shot today) and it sent bolts almos clean through the block target.

Be sure to keep all the fasteners snug. Be doubly sure that 1/4-20 that holds the bow to the rail is snug. Don't overtighten since it's plastic the screw goes into.

I check things before every time I shoot.

not trying to trash your gift but i had a wildcat and it couldnt hold a patern the size of a basket ball at 20 yds. hope you got a good 1 i ended up giving mine away and the guy couldnt do anything with it. maby mine was a flop. i hope yours works better good luck

What is the pull like? I am considering getting a crossbow for a more petite family member that does not have a huge amount of upper body strength. Do you use the rope cocking device?

[bigskypreper]

i dont use rope cocking devices as i am in wyoming and not allowed to use one while i hunt, the pattern is good as well, the pull is stiff but if you use your whole upper body its not bad. wouldnt recommend it for someone that that can not life 100+ pounds. if she can pull a cleaned buck she/he can cock the cross bow.
