Two Types Of Crossbow:

1.  Compound (End of arc is Cam / wheel as an example of 'mechanical advantage'  Ten Point, Horton, etc.),
2.  Recurve (traditional examples of the brand Excalibur, Middleton)

Horton Crossbow

TenPoint Crossbow

The arrow crossbow, is called 'Bolt' is not an arrow. Arrow has a heavy draw (draw weight) is far above the arrow, generally around 150-225 pounds (about 100kg). because his lenght interesting shorter than the arrows then approximately the same speed. Because this type of compound arrows now a very sophisticated technology, equivalent to the arrow.

Before the compound was found the arrow, arrows, including horrific weapons on the battlefield since the era of Warring State (200 two hundred years BC) in China, to medieval Europe.

 This is a great first bow for a young boy. Everything needed is in the package, including a sight, two arrows, a finger pad and an arm protector. Assembly is minimal and straightforward, but a little more documentation could make it even easier.

This being a compound bow, the effort to hold it is low. Drawing it still requires some strength, however, and not all 8-9 year-old will be able to do it repeatedly.

At this price, one cannot expect great accuracy, which is indeed lacking. The power is not sufficient for anything much longer than 10 yards either. But as a first bow for kids, it is adequate.

Crossbow Pistol

80 Lbs Cobra Self-cocking Crossbow Pistol Cross Bow 15 Arrows (See all Crossbows)

Crossbow Pistol

I have the plastic (Zytel nylon/resin) version of this 80 lb crossbow pistol. Here are a few tips that may interest new buyers of this gun:
1. The wrappings that reinforce the bow string ends and middle will begin to fray and/or separate as you shoot a lot of bolts. The pressure from the cocking rods, pulling back on the middle of the string, causes the wrappings to separate. You can push this spiral wrapping back together with your fingers by pushing from either end of the wrappings and then secure the wrapping by dripping some Superglue along its length. You don't need a lot, but apply it evenly. You can do the same to the wrappings at both ends of the bowstring -- apply a couple drops of Superglue to keep it from fraying/unraveling.
2. The aluminum bolts are junk. The black plastic fin section WILL break off. Don't order more of these. Order the plastic bolts that are available from Amazon and many other sites. They will last much longer.
3. There is a main screw that holds the prod (bow) on the gun. This screw will loosen on its own due to the vibration of shooting. It will loosen to the point that the holding plate and plastic vibration dampening chip will fall out. To avoid this, remove the main screw (the one that you have to tighten with an allen wrench) and apply a couple of drops of BLUE Locktite (not RED!). Read the bottle regarding application directions/drying time.Then reinsert and tighten this screw -- do not overtighten; just firm. This will solve this problem.
4. Gently check and tighten all screws on the gun periodically.
5. Out of the box, the sights are not really set and will shoot bolts quite high over your bullseye at close ranges (50' or less). To bring the bolts down closer to the bullseye, screw the top wheel/screw down quite a bit.
6. Be sure to tighten the small Phillips head screw at the base of the sight mechanism because it may be loose and this will allow the entire sight system to shift left or right. Once it's tight you can adjust left/right bolt strikes using the side adjustment wheel.
7. The trigger is quite hard to pull and this can throw off your aim/shot. I find that I get a smoother shot if I extend my normal trigger finger a little further than normal through the trigger hole and use the index finger on my opposite hand to assist in pulling the trigger. I'm resting the "extra" index finger on my regular trigger finger and pulling with both, adding to the pulling power and resulting in a smoother release.
8. This will be difficult to describe here, but the way that I was able to compress the bow (aka "prod")in order to get the bowstring on was to: a. install the fiberglass bow on gun body as shown in photos on the box, b. use a piece of substantial rope and tied it near one end of the bow and then ran the rope back behind the pistol handle and around to the other end of the bow. Here's where it gets a little tricky. I used a trucker's hitch/knot (you can find pics of this online)to gradually pull the bow tighter and tighter until I could get the string on. The trucker's hitch uses two knotted loops to multiply your pulling power. A strong friend is also helpful.
9. This is a powerful weapon and should NOT be used by children alone! However, it is fun to let kids shoot it under close adult supervision. For target shooting, I found that several layers of old or remnant deep pile carpet stacked or folded will easily stop these bolts and leave them fairly easy to remove.

Enjoy! 

Camping Survival Knife Tanto Magnesium Fire Starter

Hunting Knives 

The knife is awesome! the only bad thing I heard about it was it had a cheap sheath but they must have upgraded it. Now it is lined with some pretty sturdy rubber. The only complaint I have is the fire starter that came with it won't spark. 

I am happy with it, there was however a small mistake on the weave of the corded handle. Something that was done, and whoever did it, did not fix, would would have taken maybe 15 seconds to fix, yet now it's permanent. That's the only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.

This blade is my primary blade, so I can leave my 15 inch blade in the sheath to stay sharp and dry. I think this metal is perfect for the elements, and after I put a wax coat on it, it felt nice and smooth. I am ready to take this bad boy out for a spin soon. 3 day "survival" mode camping trip by myself, and I'll be sure to put her to good use and add to the review if I come up with more info on this blade.

I received my knife only about five days after ordering it. It comes in a fabric sheath that holds the knife in place with a Velcro strap. It also has a nifty little pocket on the front of the sheath itself for storing the magnesium alloy fire starter. I've read complaints that the sheath is cheap and that the knife will begin to cut into the sheath. Although this is true, I stuck my finger down the sheath and felt a thin layer of plastic covering the inside walls for protection against cutting into the sheath. I will, however, take the extra step of reinforcing it with wool or some sort of cut resistance fabric.
The knife itself is a thick stainless steal. The point is the sharpest, followed by a duller but thicker mid. The cord that wraps around the handle seems pretty stable for me, though some review-ies say they've had to re-wrap for most stability.

I would have given it five stars but the Velcro strap would have been better as a snap-in. Also having to re-enforce the inside of the sheath cuts out points, since it is a very important part of the whole package. All and all, I think it's a very useful tool for the price paid.
