They were bringing a variety on the stale budget state. It didn’t take for hunters to appreciate what Killer Instinct was doing. What they do have is experienced engineers and minds thinking behind their crossbows. They are not that old in the industry either. It may not last more than a couple of years, but I can buy 5 of these lasting 2 years each for less than 1 name-brand crossbow.Killer Instinct is a relatively small company compared to a lot of crossbow manufacturers. Overall: I can live with one minor irritation for a good bow costing hundreds less than other brands. Before I use it again, I may take the stirrup out completely and drill holes to allow the set screws to travel past the edge of the steel, so they cannot slip out. Even with lock-tight on the threads, one side slipped out after only 3 shots. This is a common problem with low-cost crossbows as you are putting tremendous pressure on the stirrup when you cock the bow. On the Minus-Side: the foot stirrup set screws don't hold well and allow the stirrup to slip out of the slot. On the Plus-Side: this crossbow is light weight, quiet and accurate. Be aware that you are getting value equivalent to the cost good but not outstanding. ![]() You can spend much more for a name-brand and not get much better performance.
