Pistol Cross Bow-Pictures

Post by hellfire_m16 » Sat Dec 15, 2007 6:19 pm

I recently purchased a Pistol Cross Bow from G.Smith Pune and I think its a nice product which is decently prized.The sighting and accuracy is also pretty good.

Thanks, Vinayaka.

0.9 kgs is a very manageable weight. What is the trigger release like?

Mack The Knife the trigger release is a bit heavy, but better than some of the indian airguns.it has a auto safety cathch to.its lite Mack The Knife but cumbersome to carry around.but definately value for money in my opinion.

Nice crossbow Vinayaka.

Are both the bolts in pic3 made of aluminum?

Praveen,
One is an aluminium bolt and the other is a plastic one.I feel the aluminium ones are much better and most sites and shooters rate them higher than the plastic ones.The plastic ones at 15INR are good for plinking or best used when chances of loosing them are more.
BTW-Will be in Bangalore tom and may stay on for a couple of days.
Regards
Vinayaka

Diskaon,
Personally i havent tried it at beer cans at that range but i guess at 20 yards it should knock of beer cans.
The bolts do not spin in flight.
