[@richardspanner5923]

A number of Euro companies make after-market multi-shot 'magazines' for these exact bows. They can be fitted to crossbows using the existing fittings without drilling or machining. They do raise the 'sight over bore' axis a bit but the advantage of 5, 8 or more shots before a reload is tempting. It changes the game quite a lot.

I searched for the best crossbow design. This is the best design because it is strong, small in size, and light, but it needs to develop the magazine and a shoulder rest.

[@phoschnizzle826]

That's a cool little crossbow. Compact and powerful is a nice combination.

[@wraith67]

I've got the version with the conventional limbs, works very well, it's pretty consistent with accuracy, the construction is solid. I like it a lot. I wish they had a small attachable quiver, the ones you can get like the Barnett quiver is made for the thicker, 7" bolts, so it doesn't work with the thinner bolts you get from Ballista BAT. The other thing is their broadheads (not fancy, but certainly functional) are 44 grains, the lightest field points I've found are either 40gr or 50gr (went with the 50s) - if you put a standard (100+ gr) broadhead or field point on the bolts, the drop is more pronounced and you lose some of the velocity. The accuracy I got with mine was about 2" at 25 yards standing - the trigger is pretty stiff - it can probably shoot tighter with a solid rest.

[@nancycook3733]

Reverse draw compounds are alot easier and alot more powerful than regular compounds, it's great that they actually thought of the stops at the front which many do not have, yes this is on the wish list but unfortunately this one will be a pipe dream unless I make one myself, anyhow thanks for keeping it real and honest, maybe Santa will bring you a second camera for side of target shots, anyhow please keep them coming thanks again

Ok, this thing is around for about a year now. I own one. With a magazine. 1. Box magazine is not very good. You can't really use it with regular broadheads and those 5.4 OD thin shafts. The nocks are also special. 2. There is custom set of strings for it, and the bowstring is about 12mm shorter than the default one. 3. There are nocks for it in a couple of archery shops in Europe, and glue-in broadheads for "X-Bow FMA REV", with replaceable blades. Not really broad tough. 4. You can buy adapter tong for use with thicker shafts and handle with telescopic stock for it, or 3d printer adaper for glock rip-off foldable buttstock 5. 200lb limb set exists. but is pricy. Chinese rumored to have 235-250 limbs evaluated for spec ops arny use, so they don't sell them.
