![]() This improves handling and makes it both safer and easier to use. It features a company patented safety system installed on top of the crossbow instead of on the side next to the cable, as with other designs. ![]() This makes it very suitable for beginners and practicing enthusiasts. It is built with a comfortable, soft, ambidextrous front and back grip that is easy to handle. This makes it an ideal option for industrious hunting conditions. The Red Back Tactical Pistol Crossbow is designed and built with durable but light materials. It is impressively powerful and can reach long distances. It is specifically made to teach beginners, without being too complicated or too hard to handle. Reviewĭesigned to be as effective as its predecessor, the Red Back is an ideal small game hunting crossbow. The Barnett Commando was an innovative product that was popular in the late eighties and early nineties. The Red Back Tactical Pistol Crossbow is based on the design of the Barnett Commando. Based in the UK, the company invests only in the best to produce its fine products. fun to play with for a few hours but thats all, try a 150lb+ crossbow and use it for real, I shoot NFAS and I have great fun shooting mine and my score is up and as in my club I am the only one who shoots xbow I win every time when we have club shoots, can't all be bad.Spartan Products Ltd manufactures one of the most popular crossbows on the market. The crossbow will loose so much speed over any distance compared with recurve/ compound bow because of the short draw length this is why the draw weight is so much higher.Ī 70lb compound bow is = to a 175lb compound crossbow (the source of this info is from HUNTER'S FRIEND web site go to crossbow field performance & read) I have played with both and I have much the same results, you get the same speed over crono (as the crono is only 1 to 2 feet in front of bows) the same kinetic energy BUT shot parallel to the ground the crossbow bolt will travel less than half the distance of the bow, so when shooting at 60yd the crossbow bolt has a rainbow trajectory compaired to the much flatter trajectory of the bow.Īs for the toy pistol crossbows, these are not toys these will kill. My 30/40 compound bow I use 500 light speeds cut to 28" 80gn piles (I know I shouldn't be using this stiff a shaft but I had them and they fly so well I just keep using them) ![]() Ya all sounds a bit strange, but how it works sort of is a bolt is/may be shorter but is heaver usually heaver pile and fatter arrow shafts ie, my 76lb crossbow I use 500 light speeds cut to 12.25" with 150gn piles The record for bow (compound bow as far as I remember), is a little over 1200 meters, while for a crossbow it is a little over 1800 meters. So there is both pro's and con's, but I think one of the main reasons why full size crossbows does not perform "better", can be because of the higher arrow weight and then of course the shorter draw length.īut - it is anyway a crossbow that have the ultimate record in flight shooting. hmmm.Īnother reasons are that shorter bow limbs does not store as much energy as longer limbs - but on the other hand, shorter limbs makes less wind resistance. It surprises me a bit, because the short arrow should be stiffer than a comparable compund arrow. The reason for the high weight of the bolts are that they t.ex. So as one can see full size cross bows are comparable to compound bows, when it comes to performance (arrow speed), but the draw weight is about 4-5 times higher. ![]() Full size crossbows are about, maybe up to 250# and arrow lenght is 17 - 20". The fastest bow ( compound bow) shoot about perhaps 360 fps, with maybe a draw weight of 50# (I am not sure how they measure the AMO speeds).īut ok. The arrow's leaving speed is probably around 180 fps. My arrows are 26,5" and the weight is maybe 250 grains. I shoot a recurve bow, 68" length, and the draw weight I hold is about 26# at my draw length about 25". So let me try to give the answer I would think of. I don't know so much about crossbows, but I do only partially agree with the answer.
