I got a chance to shoot one in Nebraska this year. I use an excalibur but this was an interesting xbow. We did have a problem with it, You must use bolts with metal nocks. We cut the string after about 25 shots with plastic nocks. THat said replacing the string was a breeze. Just a rachet strap . After replacing we went back out to shoot it and it hit exactly where it was with the old string. Only complaint I had was that there seems to be a lot of plastic on it. Still sticking with my excalibur though
