Blazing S. 80 lbs Aluminum Frame Self Cocking Crossbow with 3 Aluminum Bolts

My child loves it,He is about 10 years old and under supervision it's perfect for him Just have to dial it in. Great first crossbow

Based on other reviews before purchasing, I expected it to be truly rough to string this, but it turned out that it's probably very hard to do with only 2 hands. After I got my wife to literally lend a hand, it was strung quickly on the first joint attempt (me bending the bow and her attaching the loop on the last end).I haven't tried shooting it yet, nor have I seen the pesky raccoon that had been raiding our attic since this arrived, so maybe they saw the Amazon delivery and cleared out? If they didn't, I'll have a different greeting for them the next time I see them... I did order a 24-pack of broadheads too, because 3 bolts is really not enough, and if I find a quiver for a low price, I'll maybe grab that too. The rear sight was obviously way off to one side out of the box, but the range that I expect an encounter is less than 15', so I expect it to be point and shoot easy.I'll update after my safari, if there's anything useful to be found.

Mostly metal , only cheap feeling part is the handle covers( I took off and sprayed with a rubberized paint and now they feel better) also sight is plastic, but should not be a proble , but if you don’t like get a red dot or something. It has a weaver style rail 3” long . Definitely worth the price. One video says impossible to string… WRONG , don’t give up so easy. It took me two people to do it ,one to bend another to place string, yes hard but not at all impossible. I have a 50 lb one from Amazon which buries it half way up the flights on my target, this one goes totally through. Pretty easy to cock once you figure out your own technique. For those that complain string breaks , jus make sure it is strung properly and in the groves also spend a few bucks and keep strings and rail waxed and this should give you over a thousand shots,I’ve had me 50 lb one for over 10 years and still on first string , I bought a spare and not sure if I’ll ever need. I believe the old saying “ take care of your equipment and it’ll take care of you “ . Buy and get a stong guy to bend and have years of fun .

I'm not too sure if it's the strength of the weapon or if it's the boats that it comes with but this weapon seems very weak it won't even puncture a tire or go through a beer bottle in the future I want to test it out with some sharper arrows to see if that's the issue but regardless I imagine this would be fine for small game hunting rabbits squirrels or perhaps dealing with best say you got a big ass rat in your house or something although probably not a good idea to go shooting around in your own home but to each their own

Amazing just how powerful this thing is it’s definitely not a toy and I would not recommend buying one of these for anyone less than teenage years considering the maturity of the individual it’s fun to target shoot and I think it will be good to do some hunting for small game at appropriate distances

It was impossible to install the string on the bow in the process the Bo broke in half

I bought 2 of these before on other sites, but this one wasn't the same quality as the others, the sites were bent and it's not as smooth as the others.

Takes muscle and leverage to get the cable on, but when sighted in it is fairly accurate.Fun toy. You'll need replacement bolts when they break.
