M48 Kommando® 80-lb Crossbow

I had the 50lb cheap one just to start and I was very underwhelmed… I shoot pencils with rubber bands harder but I just got this one and I love it. Not only is the cocking so much easier with the handle, it shoots really nice and hits with some force. It’s gone straight through most things I’ve shot with it, which when compared to the one I used to have its a significant improvement. I’m getting ready to buy more bolts now because I held off, when I bought the old one I got a bunch of extras and wound up never using them because the thing barely went through a cardboard box(most times it bounced off if I wasn’t like five foot from it) so it was useless. I did go an tighten all of the screws, just because it feels a little loose. The metal grip and such is a wonderful improvement from the all plastic one. The old one felt toy-ish. When you grab this one though you can feel it’s gonna do some damage. Straight through this old pumpkin I’ve had in the yard from 20+ft away. Extremely accurate too.

It was easy to assemble with the exception of stringing it-you'll need a second set of hands for this. Instructions were vague but there's a good BUDK video on YouTube that covers any questions. Once together I found out how powerful and fun it is! And surprisingly accurate right out of the package! My only real critism is it would greatly help if some string wax was included. Order some when you order this-youre gonna need it.

I have had mine over 4 years.. I use the 12 inch arrows. I started using the small aluminum & the plastic arrows. I switch when I felt the power in It. They have the tools you need. I have got, the more expensive for hunting. Considering the price you can't ever go wrong.

Took me half a day to figure out how to string it. You tube videos not very helpful. Used copper wire to help string it. Once done was shocked at power and accuracy. Easy to cock! Don’t need a sight to be accurate. Don’t plan to use for varmints but believe it would kill. Very pleased with purchase!

I Love this Crossbow!!! I bought it just for fun, and target practice! I installed a red dot laser sight, and I was able to put 4 or 5 bolts into a quarter size diameter spot, and a couple of them even went into the end of a preceding bolt!!! A very accurate, and powerful "Beast"!!!! I am very Impressed!!! It is Definately not a TOY!!!

I'm very happy with this purchase. This thing is a beast! First off, its nice and solid with much less recoil than I was expecting. Not to mention its quite powerful for its size. It took a helping hand to get it strung, but that wasn't a problem. Thanks Budk Team

love it. powerful easy cocking system. I use red dot sight. groups well in 2 !/2 inch circle. small compact hand held crossbow. something to fear. you'll like this also.

i shot mine threw four layers of deneim and a sheet of plywood. i think its a great deal. it will get the job done. keep up the good work BUDK. i give it 5 stars all the way i will tell all my freinds.

This thing is like a beast! I shoot it in my backyard almost every day. I took it to my friends house and I shoot at a thick piece of cardboard with a big bunch of wood on the other side, it went through both of them! I ended up losing a bolt, in a hay bill. Stringing it took a lot of muscle but after it was ready, it is like a real pistol! No wonder they call it the cobra!

Easy to use and a lot of fun. I have been using it for almost a month and no problems. Like everyone has been saying in the review the arrow do brake, but only when used on hard wood. I found using layers of cardboard and thick foam to be good. Over all this is a great crossbow for shooting targets in the back yard small and sturdy.

This 80# draw pistol crossbow is just awesome,had mine about 3 weeks now and let me tell ya'll it is functional! So far from at about 30/35 yards away & for quick load & launch for taking down any moderately sized creature this is it. Maintenance & durability is quite easy & proficient yet simple but remember it is a weapon not a toy!

This crossbow is the greatest. I could've gotten a bigger and stronger one, but this sits right in the middle of them all. It's easy to cock with the self cocking mechanism. This is easy to adjust as far as sighting and powerful enough for whatI use it for, mainly target shooting. All in all, it's a 5 star crossbow.

Very cool product for the price, enough power for some serious target practice!

I bought this from BUDk and I am very happy with it. It is not a toy! Yes it is a lot of fun, but make sure you use the same rules as a firearm. After I got this thing sighted in, it's pretty actuate. Make sure you get ALOT of bolts. Your bolts will brake after a while. If you want them to last use a big chunk of foam for a target. Wood destroyed the bolts after only a few shots.

I recently purchased this crossbow from BUDK. It has more power than you might think. It was much more accurate than I thought it would be.At 25yards I can keep it in a circleabout 6 " in diameter. When firing be very carefull of ricocheas coming back at you . Great product BUDK !!!

Perfect right out of the box! This is a great addition to personal protection at home. Not a substitute, but a great product to add to home security. Also very reasonably priced. Fast delivery, easy to assemble, and very well made. I have purchased several items from BudK, and all are the same high quality.

Its not a toy! The best, be careful! Love it! Use Aluminum arrows for full power. It went through my wall & into the wall behind it lost arrow. Shot firedoormade of steel coated tip entered. Broke arrow. Has power of a 32 had gun. Only thing it has no scope. Love it. Be carefull.!!!

I bought this on a whim think it would be more like a toy but this is a nice crossbow. I plan on buy a few more! And now my wife wants one!

Had to look up a you tube video to put it together. Instructions are a joke. However once I got it together it shot very well. Much more powerful than I had expected. Definitely not a toy. This little bow could due serious damage.

I like this crossbow because it's easy to cock faster. I have two and i shot both of them at a target and one was close to the bullseye,and the other was about an inch closer. I shot one near a drain pipe and it when through to the other side.Now that's power! I have the other ones that you have to pull back the metal to cock.(cheap ones).I'm gonna use the older ones just for shooting in the back yard. ''MANCHU''

The crossbow is very solid and I like its design. It shoots very hard and accurate definitely nothing short of 80lb drawback. The only downside is that the bolts are really small and they could be bigger and the grip is uncomfortable due to the curve on the upper sides. Overall the price is good and the shipping was decent. Oh and the arrow tips are unscrewable so you can put better tips and hunting points for small game.

Fun and easy to use. only complaint I had to add small lock washers to the two bolts that hold the gold cocking mechanism together to prevent the nuts from falling off.

Bent the darts shooting into a log, tails came off darts by the second shot
