Nice looking crossbow. Been keen to hear how it preforms.
Does it seriously have the " fingers down" written on scope?
Whats the target species you got it for? Will you be using blunt tip for small game or keeping to larger animals only.
Is it in time for your hunting trip?

Awesome, stirrips for loading at 200 pds draw, I remember struggling to load a 80 pder when I was a young buck. Only time I ever used one, got charged by a rabbit in long grass he ran into my boot, bounced off an disappeared, I was in shock.

Had a crack a another one but lost the bolt, bloody expensive hunting tip, spent ages trying to find it, forestry job paid 30 a week after camp and cook house, every dollar was precious, dozen beer 8 bucks, so losing a bolt was serious. Good Times

Foot Stirrup folds out for cocking and as a bipod for prone shooting and then underneath to make it one of the most compact xbows on the market

Well finally its here and apparently I am one of the first in NZ to receive one :)

Mangkung Chester Bullpup Crossbow, 200lb draw weight firing bolts at a blazing 425fps. Mungkung make this for Centerpoint which they call the Wraith and sell for 1K more (theirs come with a silent crank for cocking) Gun city wont like this they sell Centrepoint xbows... I was going to get the Wrath when I found out that H&F were getting these in. I upgraded the scope to a full ballistic reticle scope for 20yd out to 100yrd so will be great for big game down here.

Will post some pics once I've fired it.
