The LIGHTNING CROSSBOW was designed to beat the competition in Performance and Price.
Arrow penetration at 30, 40 and 50 yards will convince you to buy this Crossbow. HOW FAST IS IT? The 175 pound peak weight Lightning launches a 525-grain arrow at 346 fps (140 Ft-lbs Kinetic Energy). WANT MORE SPEED? Shoot a 475-grain arrow at a blistering 362 fps.
