these bear a striking resemblance to excal's xbows.

i was wondering if anyone has ever tired one?

I may try to get my hands on one if i can barter the distributor down to around 50$

Rather a suspicious first post. I am eager to see if what happens to the company that brings these into North America(re:litigation). After seeing how concerned Chinese manufacturers were putting melamine in pet food and baby formula it makes me wonder how healthy it will be to shoot one of these! Me thinks this is a slippery slope!

lol

the post may seem suspicious
but i can assure you i am not some shady importer
i just figured the crossbow section on a hunting forum may be a good place to ask if anyone had seen or tried them.

i shoot an excal vortex myself.

i was just wondering if anyone knew more about these Chinese Middletons?

Never heard of them.

Always curious though about China products. Seems alot of stuff the US imports from China is always deemed as "crap". Are people in China just use to using stuff that is crappy and breaks after the first use or do they brag about stuff thats imported from other countries?

Not all is crap. In the Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) community we use the Winchester 1897 pump shotgun. Well these guns are getting old and hard to come by in certain parts of the country. Well Norinco made a clone that at first was junk. After the third try they are a very good replacement.

I own an original '97 and now use my Norinco at shoots. The original stays in the safe as a back up. In certain areas they seem to get it right and they produce a good product. But they have been known to produce junk at times.
