Tactical Crusader Crossbow Review

If you are looking for a pistol crossbow be sure to read our review below

For a while, I have been looking for a crossbow that my son can use for his training. Naturally, I tried many brands that didn't work out for me. For instance, you'd find an excellent crossbow, but it would either be too fragile, too heavy or – as most of you must have already come across these – very expensive. 

However, when I was about to throw in the towel, I came across the tactical crusader handheld crossbow which ended up tickling my fancy (and in the right way). First things first, you are bound to be drawn by its simplistic design. Its size is also suitable for kids who are over the age of ten. Here's what I found out about this fascinating crossbow:

The hunting crossbow also comes with five bolts which are used for adjusting the string to a tightness that you deem fit for you. In as much as most who use the crossbow usually have an issue with the bolts, it is always advisable to take your time to understand how the mechanisms work. That way, you'll know just how best to adjust the bolts for maximum performance as well as comfort. There is also an upside in getting extra bolts when you make your purchase just in case.

Since this durable handheld crossbow is designed for practice and fun, you should expect it to come with a target. The target is meant for practicing. You can also use the mark to learn how to adjust your handheld crossbow, ensuring that you are getting better at this before getting the real deal and using it in the wild. Just make sure that you are keeping the target away from people since, as I mentioned earlier, these arrows can cause real damage. 

The advantages of the tactical crusader handheld crossbow

The crossbow is light, which makes it easy to carry around without the fear of being fatigued. Unfortunately, not the case with the ordinary handheld crossbows which are either too light or too heavy.

It comes with a target and four arrows, which makes it easy to practice before getting a bigger crossbow for the actual hunting in the wild. The target can also give you an idea of how to adjust the crossbow before taking a shot.

The crossbow is built to withstand the test of time, thanks to its cast aluminum body which is not only durable but also makes it light (refer to the first advantage).

The crossbow is very affordable. Since the tactical crusader handheld crossbow costs a mere $13, you and your boy or girl can always enjoy some exercise in the wild which can also exempt you from going to the gym and wasting an awful lot of money getting cardio.

It requires little maintenance which will include oiling the bolts and tightening them as well as waxing the string to avoid it from breaking. Other than that, you won't have to go any extra miles to enjoy your handheld crossbow.

The instructions are usually straightforward, meaning you won't have to worry about getting it assembled as long as you are patient and keen when reading the instructions.

The disadvantages of the tactical crusader handheld crossbow 

Much care has to be taken, especially when handling this crossbow since it can seriously cause harm when shot at someone nearly two to three feet away.

The bow has a knack of loosening after over 20 or so shots meaning you'll have to keep tightening it. However, if you don't mind doing so, then there is no issue at all.

There have been many complaints about how hard it is to string it. The latter might be an issue since most of the owners are kids who might not have the strength to do so.

Loading the bolts can also be a challenge for most since it's complicated and takes time. However, once you've learned how to go about it, then there will be nothing to worry.
