Has anyone tried the Cobra crossbow pistol ?
I have recently purchased one and so far it is a blast to shoot ! At 35 feet my accuracy is pretty good and bolt penetration is VERY good. The build quality is high , it's all aluminum except for the prods which are fiberglass. It also has a "self cocking" feature that is one of the reasons I bought it. I had a little trouble stringing it and my question is : is there an "easy" way to do this ?
Also has anyone tried to make bolts for it ? Are you guys allowed to have one in the U.K. ??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

in the UK they are the most unregulated projectile tool,what lb is it? fitted wth decent broadheads theyll work a treat,where legal to hunt with of course.

bolts easy to make but get a flewtching jig,it makes it easier! i buy old aluninium arrows and make 3 bolts from each.
