Avalanche Tactical Crossbow - 120-lb Draw Weight

I just bought two of these for my nephews, for Christmas. They have not been assembled or used yet but they are good looking and appear to be of good quality. The price is unbelievable! I can't wait till they get to assemble them and use them. These will be their first crossbows, and should bring them many years of use. I bought another one two years ago for my stepbrother, it was 150# draw and had a wooden stock. He loves it, and has used it many times with no problems, and it is deadly accurate. I highly recommend BudK crossbows, for their price and quality. They are a great way to be introduced to hunting with a crossbow at an affordable price, and do the same job as higher priced models found elsewhere. 5***** stars. Will continue to do business with BudK.

Love it much nicer thn i ever expected. Ive bought a ton of stuff from here definitely best item ever. Everyone has a hard time stringing crossbows. Easiest way is wrap a ratchet strap around one limb then under the but (prart yourest against shoulder) then around other limb and crank till string pops on. Do not over crank. Been doin this way for years. Hope it helps. Rachet straps are cheap $12 for 4 sometimes less. Good luck be safe.

This is an amazing product for the price. Assembly wasn't hard to figure out with the terrible instructions. Shoots high out of the box, but once sighted properly it hits targets like a pro. Very powerful, first bolt went through my target and two inches deep into my garage wall. Bolts that come with it are cheap 14 inch ones and will break easily, so glad I bought 12 extra bolts. Don't forget to purchase rail wax with this. Overall, this is an incredible deal you should not pass up, whether your an amateur and this is your first crossbow, or a pro looking for something to mess around with. I can not wait to get a scope, carbon fiber bolts, and razorback tips to hunt with this beast.

In my state you must have an automatic safety, this bow does. Great price good multi purpose bow. Sam W. from Oklahoma

This crossbow has serious power. As with a compound bow, shoot into a bale of hay or archery target not into plywood. The bolts are fine and work well with this crossbow. I bought 2 packs of 5, along with the 2 included gives me 12 bolts.Accurate and powerful. This is not a toy and has definite hunting power. If treated as an archer would treat a bow, meaning shoot into proper target and no dry firing, you will not be disappointed.

Loved it it was amazing took it out of the box put it together and shoot it I fell in love with it. I put a scope on it

Just got this bow today I'll have to buy a new bow for it but all in all its very good quality I purchased this item for a bug out bag of mine that I also ordered from budk

This is a great entry level crossbow. It hits hard and it's accurate. If you've been interested in trying out a crossbow this is the one to try!

i have 4 different crossbows i needed something lighter this is a awesome bow very accurate dont like the arrows made own carbon fiber with broadheads works great bag rabbits tree rats going for dear this year oh yes going to try out on turkey definitely best buy for the buk . if the company would come out with a revers crossbow i will buy that too. 5 out of 5

Works and shoots great (once you get it all set up). Only complaint I have is mine didn't come with any assembly instructions. Took a little longer to put it together.

This is a really nice crossbow. Very light weight. Definitely enough power to hunt with. If you plan to use broadheads with this thing, you'll need 16 bolts. It works OK with 14 bolts IF they have field points. The shoulder stock is a little on the short side, but that's only an issue for me because the rear sight is close, and my eyesight ain't what it used to be. For the money, this is a great deal.

This crossbow is amazing it shoots a little high but for the most part its my favorite buy

This crossbow is extremely powerful and hard-hitting. It was a pain to assemble, as the directions were very poor. The bolts aren't very high quality, as one of them bent because I missed the target. I ordered 12 new bolts and went crazy. There's only two problems with this, but one may just be my fault. 1. The sight is practically useless, aim low or you'll lose your bolts. 2. Whenever I cock it, the string hits the safety, and I have to switch it back to fire, kind of inconvenient, but like I said, that may just be user error. This crossbow is very strong and I'd recommend it to anyone for the low price.

For the money this is an Outstanding crossbow feels a lot stronger than 150 lb draw and piledrives the bolts deeply into the target and it can be used for self defense or hunting any size game, I bought this for one of my sons and I'm sure he will love it now to buy two more for the other two sons Awesome product

This crossbow is worth buying.A great product and much more force then what I expected.Great job BUDK!

Outstanding product for the money, can be used for self defense or hunting small game, I've bought several other products for the bug out bags for a secondary back up.

This crossbow is Amazing!!!! I thought this crossbow wouldnt be that power full, but it went through 2 hay stacks!! Very Very powerfull. Definetly worth the money, acually worth 200$

Love it.thanks Budk never disappointed me yet

I wasn't expecing the high quality and power in a crossbow at this price. I am very pleased with this crossbow. The first target I attempted to make for it the arrow went right through and embedded itself into a log about an inch deep. It is lightweight in design yet supprisingly powerful. It has a rail so you can replace the stock sights with a scope of your choosing. This bow is powerful enough to hunt with if you so choose.

Being doing business with them for over 3 years. Great products and a great company

Like most other reviews, the instructions were pretty much nonexistent. It has much more power than I expected.

I got it as a starter crossbow for my fincee. The instructinions could be a little more detaled but not hard to figure out. There string is a little difficult to get on but got it on with a little redneck rigging.

I bought two of these powerful little crossbows. A great weapon to have in your arsenal and good for small game hunting especially if you wish to not make much noise. It needs better assembly instructions but other then that I love mine and will give the second one to a friend as a gift. Very satisfied!

If your looking to get a crossbow and not spend a lot of money this is the ticket! Gets the job done and safe to use, I added a 15$ red dot optics available elsewhere on the net and can group 1" shots @ 15 yards. I added a 2" extension to the stock cut from wood, painted black and its looks like it was made for it. Very Happy ☺

What a fun bow for target shooting. I set it up (making sure to use the metal/rubber squares in the bow channel) and was shooting in about ten minutes. It has a super fps for a small bow. I had to dial in the sights quite a bit, but then it was deadly accurate. cb

Awesome Crossbow for the money. Took it rabbit hunting and drop one around 60 feet away. Showed it to a friend and he bought one and 7 or 8 knives as well. No complaits at all well most likely order another one for my son and one of the cobar pistol ones too. Thanks for a great product.

I was pleasantly surprised with this little beast. I didn't expect something out of Bass Pro Shop for $50, so what I got was a surprisingly accurate, nifty little crossbow that packs a pretty good wallop. Once you figure out how to assemble it...

I originally bought this product to use for a prop at a walking dead party. After deciding to sight it in just for fun I realized the power it had. I shot it into a field and it flew in the air over 300 feet. I have been using it for target practice ever since. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who hunts or fishes outdoors

bought this crossbow. did't expect a lot . but was very surprised to find a very nice crossbow for that low price. shot it about 40 times without a hitch used bow wax and lube for the rails everything worked fine. i am not a hunter but this is great fun for target shooting or small game. would recomend this crossbow

Just shot this bow for the first time today. Was able to hit a target accurately from 40 yards, not a bad deal for fifty dollars.

This crossbow is amazing, The triggers a little wiggly, but it's easy to assemble and fires wonderfully. Make sure you tighten or super glue your field tips on, I lost my field tip the first arrow I shot because I forgot to tighten it.

I gotta say this is a great crossbow I bought it for my cousin for his birthday you know something to start out, and man was it powerful and it went far for the first shot about 50 yards before it hit several branch and stopped. I recommend that when you get it read the instructions carefully and have someone help you with putting on the string cause its tough. I'm defiantly gonna get one for myself for deer hunting and wild turkey hunting as well and so are my friends who where there when we tried out the crossbow.

This is an awesome value! I couldn't believe the quality, the ease of assembly, and the power behind this bow! I have held $200 Horton crossbows and this had the same feel as their tactical bow for a he** of a lot less money! I am a customer for life!

Good crossbow for the money, shoots straight and hits hard, but needs locktite on the screws. over all a great buy,i would know because i'm the proud owner two compound bows and it makes a great addition to my archery arsenal

Awesome Crossbow for the money!

Good quality frame and limbs . A better quality arrow is needed the two broke after just a few shots. You will needed to use longer arrows if trying broad heads. Great fun and easy to cock with a rope pull. Overall a nice rig for the price

POSITIVES: Powerful crossbow, much more powerful than I expected... killed a number of groundhogs with it so far, even with the target tips that come with it, the hogs lasted only seconds. NEGATIVES: Instructions were crappy (obviously), the string is coming apart kinda quickly and no idea where to get another. Biggest issue? The sights on this thing are worthless. I have to aim about a foot low to hit the target. I've been sighting in weapons for 40 years and these are the worst. gotta switch to some type of real sight.

This was my first venture into the archery realm. I am a huge gun collector and figured it was time to try something new. Like many other reviewers i was taken back by the power of this thing. I built what i thought was a target that would stop the arrow dead in its tracks on impact. I was wrong it went clean through my target and the bolt buried itself into a hill directly behind the target. Even at about 21 feet the arrow does not seem to drop. I would recommend for the price even more so if you find it on sale. The arrows it comes with are not the best. Also i have not seen a lot of variety in arrow types for 14 inch arrows.

this cross bow has to be pulled back twice to get the saftey to ingage but other than that it is a great shooter

I always liked archery but preferred a recurve or a longbow. My Dad likes crossbows. We bought 2 50 Lbs pistol crossbows and one of these. It works great but having only 2 bolts in inconvenient.

The crossbow is great really it's awesome and packs a punch too but I was surprised to see the box it was shipped in beat up. me thinking oh no its broken but it was in great condition I put together and was really happy with it by far a great deal from budk.

I got this for fathers day from my lil girl, so far no big problems the string has started to fray but other than that it is very accurate. Only thing is I wish it came with a spare string and a few more bolts I'd recommend buying extras of both. Great bow for the money.

Nice bow for the money easy too put together. Hits hard looking forward to taking this thing hunting!

Great bow for the money required guntite by locktite to keep the screws in place. Hits six inch groups at twenty yards. To set up for hunting use sixteen inch 2219 aluminum bolts with half moon nocks. It is great for still hunting as it is very light weight and compact making it very maneuverable in underbrush. The string for the 150 bow fits perfectly. If the serving frays reserve with 10 to 20 lb nonalignment fishing line and put glue or fletchtite on the ends also use bowstring wax and rail lube.

i like this crossbow its better than i expected and powerful enough to not be considered a toy it was easy to assemble. my only wish would be a spare string

Great starter crossbow. Requires locktite to keep screws in place. Fairly accurate, but the trigger is "jerky". Shoots straight and hits hard. Good deal for the money.

Bow was alright but both bolts broke in the first two shots! I need to buy better quality bolts now!

I saw this crossbow when it was on sale and it seemed too good to pass up. First putting it together took 3 of us to get the string on. Then when firing it the safety wouldn't disengage at all. The plus side is the bow is nearly indestructible... After hours of trying to disengage the safety I got mad and tried smashing it... Literally not even a scratch. But hopefully I was just unlucky and you guys have better luck. I've brought from budk Inc many times and I won't let this set back change that.

Read all the reviews so I purchased the cross bow, Had trouble string it, but you tube helped, I drew the string back but it would not catch or latch, Am unable to shoot it. its small and would not purchase another one or recommend it to any one, Not worth the money.
