I just received my 1st crossbow as a Bday gift a few weeks ago from the Mrs. , a PSE coalition. I have a 30m range set up in the backyard, and it's a blast. I had a recurve bow during my middle school and high school years, so a crossbow was a logical progression. THis thing though like fun, doesn't look like you'd be able to easily swap parts or strings as they break down. Innovation has to begin somewhere though, so this was fun to watch.
