Avalanche Tactical Hunting Trail Blazer Crossbow 150-lb

If you must get your gear on a tight budget, this no frills type of weapon is the way to go. Without the many extra cables and pulleys, and complex systems of more expensive crossbows, it is my opinion there is less to go wrong on a weapon of this sort. Heck, in a real dire situation, replacement strings, even replacement bow limbs could be improvised to replace broken equipment. This is just a good solid, basic functioning weapon, with no frills, with surprisingly good quality for the very attractive price.

Power. That's all. First triger pull is totally worth $98. Thanks Trueswords

I'll admit, I was nervous about dropping $100 on what could potentially be a crappy crossbow. My fears were very quickly negated when the bow arrived. It is very solid, easy to assemble, and extremely powerful. I destroyed the first arrow because I underestimated the bow's power, and shot an arrow clean through a sheet of plywood, stripping off the fletching. After mounting a scope on the rail getting everything sighted in, I've no doubt this crossbow will take out many deer this coming hunting season.

I live next to a field, through the winter I had rabbits eating off my young trees and shrubs doing a lot of damage. This morning I saw a rabbit in my yard and put an arrow through its head. This thing has a positively startling amount of power sheering clean through its skull only being stopped by the ground behind it. With a scope I had attached and an arrow with good straight fins it�s wicked accurate at mid-range. I have no doubts with the right Broadhead on my bolts I could take down much larger game. Plus I had a lot of fun with target practice and zeroing out the scope. This is probably the best crossbow you could ever hope to get for under $100 with all the power and accuracy of a much more expensive bow.

i have been nuthin less than impressed with the quality of this bow. i have put a 3x9 variable scope on it and it performs very well

For $100 I did not expect much of the bow but when I got it I could not believe how powerful it was. It is hard to string and I shot at a target that was about 70 yards away. I aimed slightly above it because I expected the bolt to drop but it didn't and I ended up losing the bolt. This crossbow is definitely worth the money. Editor's Note: Thank you for your comments.

This crossbow is extremely strong and reliable but setting it up is honestly the most frustrating thing in the world if you do not have a stringing string it took a good 2 hours just to put the string on. Other thatn those first two hours I love this crossbow and will go hunting with it

I GOT ONE OF THIS CROSSBOW, I BOUGHT IT NEW BUT MY BIG DISMAY AND DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE SHOOTING IT DOES NOT WORK FINE...AFTER COCKING THE BOWSTRING AND PUTTING THE ARROW ON IT, ONCE YOU RELEASE THE TRIGGER, THE BOWSTRING WOULD NOT HIT THE END PART OF THE ARROW INSTEAD IT WILL PASS ABOVE IT NOT HITTING THE ARROW ON ITS POSITION SHREDDING ITS VANE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE THERE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY CROSSBOW...NEED HELP OR SOME ADVISE ON WHAT TO DO TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM....THANK YOU!!!
