Wisperer, that sounds like a great deal to me and that CB is simple to put together. It sounds similar to my Yucon SL which I love!

That looks a lot like my Horton Legend also. I would think PSE would make a pretty reliable piece of equipment, but I have no experience with them personally

I just got my first reference on these the other day. A guy at work bought one from wal-mart for 250 also and his son loves it. I think the boy is about thirteen or so. He said his son is hitting the bullseyejust about every shot. I think pse makes good long bows so there CB's should be good to. Enjoy!

Either PSE owns Browning or Browning owns PSE.I think PSE did buy Browning's Archery division. I betcha can't go wrong. Used Browningcustomer service for my daughters Micro-Medalianand they were great to work with. Fixed the dealers blunder with no questions asked and were very pleasant.>>>>>>Whack!

I would have to advise against this cross bow. I purchased one last Sat. from Wally's and took it home/assembled, and shot it. I was all over the target at 20 yards, and couldn't figure it out. Finally, I realized that the scope mount shook pretty badly. Everything that could be was snugged down and loc tit'd, but to no avail. Unfortunately I had to spend about six clams on a Ten PT. Pro Fusion, but am really happy with it's performance although momma won't be happy with the credit card bill.[:@].
