answer 7
I would buy either acudraw 50 or the acudraw. That way you are cocking the bow in the same spot every time. This is too nice of a bow to cut corners. Remember if you are trying to cock this bow by hand it is 175 draw weight.

It's perfect. I will recommend this bow to anyone who is starting out or has been using a crossbow for a long time. It's lighter than most of the expensive bows and has about the same power too. I'm glad I bought mine.

They come with 20" carbon arrows which seem to be fine, if you want to upgrade there are several out there and as I was told all 20" arrows are about the same weight so they should fly consistent.

no do not dry fire this or any type of bow

by

answer 2
As with all bows it is never good to dry fire however with most crossbows they have a anti dry fire mechanism that doubles as a saftey. The only way you could dry fire a crossbow would be if you take the saftey off and shot. My friend accidentley dry fired his crossbow and was lucky not to have the limbs break.
