I lost my share of bolts along the way.  |
Barnett UK ad for the Commando
here.
It was advertised as 175 lb draw. With a broadhead I suspect it would easily pass through a person or two. It put a bolt (arrow, in crossbow parlance) with a field point almost through an American Tourister briefcase, another bolt picked up a hat off the floor & flew with it (don't ask - sore point with the boss).
Very nice where discreet & quiet were the order of the day. Also
very useful for launching things long distance.
I have a Commando, I'm pondering selling it to fund my flintlock passion right now. It should move on
ebay, as it's complete with extra strings, arrows & such.
