Crossbow pistol type - a great weapon for fans to shoot

The long-awaited attack on nature can be devoted not only to the boring eating of fragrant skewers or throwing the ball through an improvised volleyball net. You can turn it into a shooting tournament in almost a medieval style. Why almost? Because at our disposal, of course, there will be no firearms, but instead of the classic bow (Robin Hood's favorite weapon) , we will have a pistol-type crossbow in our hands.

In appearance, he looks a bit like a gun. All because of the shape of the butt and the way to lower the bowstring by pressing the trigger. In the rest it is a crossbow. He shoots darts or bolts (depending on the specific model), and from his bow is distinguished by increased accuracy and range of shooting, and yet - a large force of impact. Bolt, fired from this weapon, once without effort pierced the heavy armor of soldiers.

There are a lot of lovers to experience the possibilities of "self-fire", and their army is growing. Most often, in their forums, they discuss pistol-type crossbows. Reviews are always diverse and relate mainly to the pros and cons of specific models, but almost everyone notes the ease and ease of use of these designs. They do not need to be collected before shooting, transportation takes place without additional difficulties. And newcomers quickly mastered with weapons, already in the first lessons getting good results.

So, the pistol type crossbow is ideal for people who are fond of shooting. But how to choose it? What should I look for when buying?

About everything in order. First of all, let's define the age group. For children, special products are produced, in which safety and safety are the first place. The body of these models of plastic, which greatly facilitates their weight, and instead of heavy bolts, the kit includes darts with soft suckers.

Adult structures are of a serious combat character. And although only weapons can be openly sold, the tension force of which does not exceed nineteen and a half kilograms, but even in this case a pistol-type crossbow does not tolerate negligence. Do not treat him like a toy.

"Large" models are made of plastic, wood, carbon, steel, Kevlar. Bowstring in high-quality products is performed with the use of Kevran or Dacron. This material is not afraid of temperature fluctuations, nor snow, nor rain.

The appearance of weapons is already the tenth thing. But if you want to present a really expensive, status gift, you can ruin your wallet for a genuine work of art - a pistol-type crossbow made from expensive wood, hand-carved or decorative silver inserts.

But even a budgetary design must necessarily be reliable. It is better if it has an automatic fuse. It excludes spontaneous descent. Undoubtedly, in its technical parameters, even the most powerful pistol-type crossbow is several times inferior to rifle models, but it can seriously injure a person. Therefore, we approach the organization of home shooting ranges responsibly.
