PSE Coalition Frontier crossbow

So I just assembled the pse crossbow.
Mate said if I assembled it for him could use it for a week. Deal.
Its pretty easy to put together. One central Allen bolt holds the sturrip and bow to stock, that has a grub screw to lock it in place . I found it easier to put the string slide in from the side rather than try to get it past the stop at front.
Thats about it really. Add the arrow quiver mount to the picatinny rail that holds the forestock.
Wax the strings, oil the cams, grease the string slide, grease the rail, done.
It feels solid but is molded plastic stock and rail.
The sight is illuminated in 3 colours and lights up the lines of retical , not just center. Only fired one shot so far, trigger just felt like a continuous motion till it released. Pull was more than u like, as was travel.
Shot a old used Bailage wrap at 20y, I stuffed in a cardboard box.
Accurate enough out of box to hit target (not bull) .
Had to cut bolt out. Thin bits of wrap had wielded to the plastic feathers.
Easy enough to cock.
with cocking rope.
Sight in tomorrow if can make a good target, Bailage wrap is out.
But yeah seems like a sturdy made weapon of not outstanding quality at first look.
Find out tomorrow what it shoots like.

I'll throw scope up later when bit less light so can show the glow as it was.
Bit windy to sight in properly. Started at 18m, but thought about it for a bit and folded a sleeping bag (zipped up) in half length ways, then in half again a couple more times, then rolled it the rest. Then masking tapped around it with a few strips to hold it, folded it in half again, taped that put in paper bag.
Rember with Bailage wrap which is dense it buried right in and warped the feathers.
Sleeping bag as follows

The scope has no markings at all.
Is fixed some where between 2x and 4x.
The glass is clear.
The only focus is for sharpening the retical.
Has two colours in illumation. Red and blue, 3 intensities. Both these are the brightest.
Works without illumation.
Screw driver adjust.

Awesome, did it have in the manual the approximate yardage for the milldots?

That's the whole crossbow with sight for a grand.

Really?
Makes you wonder why they don't just put one flight on them.
Oh that's right consistency in flight.

I’ve never been a fan of cross bows my self, although there are many who like them.

For me there is a challenge, and a skill, in being able to accurately shoot a bow and arrow. Dosent matter if it’s a recurve, long bow or compound, they are all rewarding when your arrow hits what u were aiming for.

I also love shooting rifles. There is a satisfaction in holding a beautiful wooden stock in both your hands, feeling that butt seat snuggly into your shoulder and laying your cheek down onto a well shaped cheek-piece, aiming and squeezing slowly. Pellets or powder, I love them both.

But as much as I love bows and rifles, I’ve never seen the attraction in combining them. Perhaps because I love each so much for what they are, two very different disciplines requiring different skill sets, which can both satisfy my love of hunting.
I’ve owned many bows and many rifles in my life, and God willing I will still own many more, but I’ll keep my love of arrows and stocks separate 😂😂😂
