Petron MKII Sure Shot Hand Bow

Product Information

The 95lb model is really at the lowest limits for the task, but a quick chrono check showed I was getting 187 fps with the aluminium bolts, 199 fps with my home made carbons with 100 grain points and 202 fps using 80 grain points.

As I said, there are a couple of aluminium bolts supplied in the kit, they are 16 inches long, with screw in field points and are fine to get you started, but very soon you are going to want more than two bolts. There have been some incredible advancements on crossbow technology in recent years, pushing accuracy and to a whole new level. There are a few simpler bows on the market and on the recommendation of a fellow NFAS member I took a quick look at www. Accuracy at close range is excellent, and after a bit of practice I was able to get bunched groups at 20 to 30 yards, after that my lack of practice and the light weight of the bolts started to take its toll and groups opened up. Made from very strong plastic, it is lightweight and equally suited for shooting indoors and outdoors.At 95lbs and using my legs, drawing the bow was easy, I slid the bolt into position, and making sure it was snug up against the string I prepared to take my first shot. With this in mind, some guns may be painted differently and have a slight colour variation from the image shown.

Within NFAS, we shoot targets out to 60 yards, sometimes a bit more, so any bow is going to need sufficient velocity to reach that distance accurately.

With a scope fitted the dovetail does tend to rock up and down a bit while the bow is being cocked and loaded, this does not affect the sights when the bow is shot, but it can be a little aggravating and one of the mods I shall make is to fix the dovetail in one position. As most people don’t have a 10 mag Bushnell sitting at home, any fixed mag, fixed focus scope will do and there are a number of excellent xbow specific scopes available that are NFAS legal, three of them are made by our own Hawke Optics. After I zeroed the scope, I thought I would try one of my own bolts, which is made from a cut down carbon arrow (more on that in a minute). However, that all changed a little over a year ago when NFAS changed their rules removing the maximum draw weight clause and instead imposing a maximum velocity of 300fps, in common with all other classes. Crossbow shooting is a good activity, during which you can teach your child a patience and concentration.Offering both fun and professional archery gear, Petron Sports was originally developed as a family-owned archery business serving the UK market. The new rules also restricted the class to recurve bows only and best of all allowed fixed mag and focus scopes (rather like HFT). The Petron does not by any means have a match trigger, but I have pulled a lot worse on some well known spring airguns.

A few people within NFAS (National Field Archery Society) used to shoot them, but they were better suited to other disciplines. Now, they fully cover the whole archery spectrum from entry-level and beginner toys to a wide range of leisure products, and up to top end elite equipment. Test your accuracy with the target on the box, take on empty cans in a game of knock-‘em-down, or refine your long-range shooting with a distance challenge or two. It is especially relaxing movement activity when which you will clear your head from small worries of life.Since the changes, the class has begun to grow and the sales of cheaper starter type xbows (as well as the more sophisticated hunting type bows) have grown and grown. I have fancied the idea of owning a crossbow for a long time, given my interests in archery and field target shooting, I suppose it’s not very surprising; but what would I use it for? The main frame of the bow, including the rail, is cast aluminium, as is the assembly at the front of the bow that holds the prod and foot stirrup and also the integral trigger guard. These velocities are fast enough, given that some traditional and primitive recurve bows struggle to get anywhere near 200 fps.
