Just bought this crossbow. Having a blast shooting this far. Cannot wait to get out in the woods with it.

[@joeysteele3933]

Shot mine from 10-80 yards and had no issues love it

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Looks like an awesome crossbow

[@pamelasullivan8766]

I have the KI 380 I love it killed my first deer in September with it. I'd love to have this new 405.

[@chrischristopher4640]

If your lookin for a good deal an help with some extra accessories he's a great salemans who will be straight up with you to get you the best bang for your buck thanks alot man see you when you get done restringing that bow for me.

[@rayschurr9337]

LOVE this crossbow. Bought it for my wife and we both enjoy it. Very accurate can't wait to take it out and show the pigs and deer how it shoots...lol

[@patrickvang2608]

Great bow for the money. I upgraded the bolt to the piledrivers. It's super accurate and no issues so far. I can't wait to get my first deer from this crossbow!

[@kurtglo]

The New crank is a sled style verses hooks- KI actually sells 2 different cranks for this crossbow; a wide sled and a narrow sled. After contacting customer service, they told me to use the wide sled for the Boss 405

[@buckeyeoutdoorstv]

Great crossbow super fast we use them also love the bow great support !

[@tomjones7285]

Good lookin crossbow. I got my Centerpoint with the crank last year. It shoots lites out. If this one is as good 👍 your set is if your thinking about it.

[@gregteets6811]

Wow that is a fantastic price I bet this thing is lightning fast speed!!!!!

[@rjreynolds8719]

Crank is super quiet...just don't drop the handle on concrete lol. Awsome vid, will have to come give that a look

[@kurtglo]

I'm tied of everyone bad mouthing this crossbow, when a majority of the time, it's caused by human error like using crap, too light of crossbow arrows. KI should also know better than to use 380 grain bolts, when in fact, this crossbow and any other ones that shoot 390 FPS plus, should be using a minimum of 500 grains.

[@rickpullins8590]

Very cool

[@Rodeo_Wizard]

Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead) would no doubt be happy with a crossbow like that.

[@jessicajorling6022]

hell yes he would be more than happy with that bow i got my husband this bow he uses the crank

[@bradey3577]

That's the reason I'm here!!

[@CaddRome]

That's why I want one like this lmao

[@bretsnoke9213]

Wanna see a review of the fatal X crossbow

[@Voxguitarsrock]

I bought this for my son last Christmas. He was hunting with it this morning and the bottom left limb delaminated pretty bad. I'd stay away as he hasn't shot it much at all.

[@pinehawk9600]

Must use at least 400 grain

[@lancekirby5725]

I bought one of these last spring. The string freyed within 20 shots. Arrows that came with splintered and now it won’t latch when I pull back to cock it. I guess it will make a great door stop. Spend the extra $200 on a good one

[@kurtglo]

I already did and it wasn't any better- in fact, it was worse!!

[@Tmankali]

Can you use a 16 inch bolt? I know we can use 20, just had some laying around, didnt want any semi dry fire it its too short.

[@frankyjunior5167]

I will buy one where can I get one

[@scable-eq7bp]

Awesome, nice price point, does it come with the scope? I wonder if you could use and electric drill instead of the hand crank to cock it?

[@thekentuckygunco]

comes with scope, 3 bolts, quiver, Dead Silent Crank, cocking rope, rail lube

[@scable-eq7bp]

@@thekentuckygunco Thank you

[@CaddRome]

@@scable-eq7bp if you rig up a drill I don't see why not

[@TheRodsmite]

Is this package or deal still available? I'm in the market for an entry level crossbow to hunt with.

[@Outlaw-Josey-Wales]

I got mine I'm pretty good with it and I like it I think I'd make a 50 yard shot my first line on the scope is from 10 to 30 yards the second line is 40 to 45

[@whatstheproblem6606]

You forgot to mention that the odd colored vane goes down into groove just saying

[@ronaldwitt3120]

Can that crossbow be decocked with the crank?

[@tsavoserengeti877]

where can i order this online?

[@grh7399]

I bought the Boss 405 last year and waxed the string and rail and decided to shoot it for the 1st time yesterday. I pulled it back and it wouldn't cock where I can hear it click to know it's cocked and ready to fire. Believe me when I say this I have 6 other Crossbows so this is the 1st one I can't get to cock. I shortened the cocking rope. What's up with this Crossbow?

[@dougmartinezjr]

Did you make sure your safety switch was in the right position?

[@grh7399]

@@dougmartinezjr Thanks for replying Doug, almost ashamed to admit when I put it in the fire position and cocked it, it worked. I "THOUGHT" I tried it in both positions but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for your help, brother, Good hunting.

[@dougmartinezjr]

Don’t worry about it, i just bought one yesterday and did the same thing lol, You too👍🏼

[@grh7399]

@@dougmartinezjr Believe it or not I bought this bow last year, but had no time to shoot it so it sat in the box. I paid $199.00 on Northwoods wholesale outlet in Northern Michigan. I THOUGHT I tried both safety and fire positions and for some reason I couldn't get the string to catch and make that "click" when you know it's cocked. My neighbor came over as I was trying to cock it and he said " make sure it's in the fire position" he pulled it back and I heard the click. I felt like a stooge, all 3 of them, because I have 7 other crossbows, and I know better but I just didn't do it. I shot it into my target and he said, "Man, is that thing fast"!

[@dougmartinezjr]

Just got a doe the other day with it👍🏼

[@bryanbarshinger6971]

I need a crank for the one I bought,can not find one except the one for $500.Shot it 10 times just after the purchase takes 2 of us to cock.

[@BossPrepping]

lol you not giving the crank for free this crossbow sells $299.00 everyday all day

[@Mikey-ym6ok]

Of course man. Nothing is ever free. When he was like it costs 300 plus with crank for free I was like wtf. I bought it for 270

[@davidmclaughlin935]

My 405 did NOT COME WITH A CRANK. AND I COULD REALLY USE ONE!

[@thumpervansqueakynuts5848]

Wait aren’t cross bow bolts all the same?

[@geoffist]

definitely not. they can range from 300 grain to 600 grain with broadhead, and it does matter.

[@bamafever92]

What broadhead is recommended with this crossbow? I need help finding a good head for mine

[@whenwillwesail]

I went to my local archery shop and got some for bolts.

[@frankyjunior5167]

Where is the a store located or phone number

[@dansanchezsanchez9732]

Good review but very dangerous way to put the arrow in! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mikepatten854]

I didn't get my crank free $100.00 plus

[@brianscutt6298]

Cabela's has the same crossbow with 3 bolts and everything else without the crack for 299.00

[@patrickmurphy932]

I have this bow and it is junk the scope is made cheap

[@jjetling9695]

Do not buy this bow the comp dose not back you oñthis junk got my new in store and reg and the scope that comes with it is junk and will not fix and the crank is not with it you have to buy it

[@whenwillwesail]

I have no issues with mine and I love it. Especially for the price.

[@Dies1r4e]

the stock is utter airsoft rubbish, I was shocked at how poor of quality it was.

[@edwingrady5287]

Nice bow, lousy scope and customer service.👎
