I think the list is ok, but the price is a little high, i mean other than hunting red fox/cats from a tree stand and close distance it doesn't do anything better than a .22 pistol, well is more silent or should be, but still is like is very situational, or for a very specific purpose, get foxes/cats in close distance, but any bow can do that, Looks cool, but it seems to me like one of those weapons to buy if is in a sale and i have some spare ems burning the pocket.

I think the list of ethical permitted species is accurate.
This is the real deal ,I have not shot a werewolf with this,A bear would prolly make me eat it.lol. so for now I'll keep killing the target out in the driveway. :lol:
I'm very pleased with the hunter classic version of this.It looks and feels like the real deal.thank you , great job. :D

I found the spook radius is about 60m maybe a bit more 80m?
However you can only comfortably shoot the crossbow without any drop from 10m so at 30m you have to judge a bit above the target so it's going to be impossible to drop kill a whole group of Turkey because the scope you have is poorly equip for the job.
Like a hunter that doesn't have the right equpiment for the job at hand. NEED A BETTER SCOPE PLEASE. :roll: (least with mill dots)

Also note the scope red dot looks to be the same as the pump action shotgun scope which is too large imo for small precise shots on SMALL targets like it's supposed to be used for.
I have over 1337 kills with my Longbow at 100% kill rate.

Thanks to ronMctube for his pistol crossbow video.

Now I'm 100% sure, that this thing is (in my opinion) completly useless, underpowered and overpriced.

The performance on the shooting range speaks for itself…


As we know, not everything is hyper-realistic in this game and I'm pretty sure, no one would be angry when this pistol crossbow would have been:

- A bit more powerful
- Allowed for coyote and roe deer
- Equipped with a better reddot

I'm glad that I didn't spend any money on this toy

But on the other hand it's really sad that EW decided to release it in it's current state, because I was mega excited for this new type of weapon!


MfG L.E. :(

Hey all,

Just a quick note, we have found an issue with the spook radius of the new Crossbow Pistol. This will be addressed in the next patch, sorry for the inconvenience!

Could you please check if a change to the red dot would be possible?

Yeah I just tested it with the shooting mat, spooks out to render 320m+ I assume the coding is messed up and is being treated as a firearm. (handgun)

a cross sight reticle might be better on it . would be nice to have different changable recticles for many weapons.so you can pick and choose with you would like.

i see the crossbow pistol as a bit of fun. i will mainly use it for fun trying air shots on geese ducks and such.
