Petron MKII Sure Shot Hand Bow

Product Information

With this in mind, some guns may be painted differently and have a slight colour variation from the image shown. Crossbow shooting is a good activity, during which you can teach your child a patience and concentration. I was expecting something akin to a spring air rifle going off, so was pleasantly surprised by the very mild movement and almost total lack of recoil. A few people within NFAS (National Field Archery Society) used to shoot them, but they were better suited to other disciplines.

I chose not to use these sights and instead fitted a set of scope rings and a Bushnell 10 mag scope with a Mil-Dot reticule. The new rules also restricted the class to recurve bows only and best of all allowed fixed mag and focus scopes (rather like HFT). 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. As most shots will be taken standing, the rearward weight bias is comfortable and it holds on target very well.

But, a toy crossbow that’s made by the same company that builds actual crossbows… well, that’s a bullseye! This was not a disaster for me, as I have a bow stringer, which allowed me to take off the string for repair, but without the stringer I would have been stuck.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. 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. 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. It is especially relaxing movement activity when which you will clear your head from small worries of life. Made from very strong plastic, it is lightweight and equally suited for shooting indoors and outdoors.

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. 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. The assembly instructions are clear and easy to follow, so it only took about ten minutes to put it all together. These velocities are fast enough, given that some traditional and primitive recurve bows struggle to get anywhere near 200 fps.

Offering both fun and professional archery gear, Petron Sports was originally developed as a family-owned archery business serving the UK market. The adjustable dovetail is made of moulded plastic and appears to be a little on the flimsy side, but it took the scope, mounts and bubble without any problems. They are safer than classical crossbows (compound crossbows, pistol crossbows, recurve crossbows, crossbow replicas).

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. I was there with my compound bow, but up against a field of 14 archers, Peter Hough, shooting a very similar bow to the one I reviewed, won the Crossbow class. As a final note; just as I completed this article the NFAS National Championships took place at Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire. Despite the carbon being much lighter than the aluminium, the reaction from the bow was the same and the bolt was right on the crosshairs…COOL!I got the 95 lb model; to see how easy it was to use and how far I could shoot a relatively low powered bow. The Stealth Pistol crossbow from Petron is a small and compact crossbow that is easy to use, and is very accurate at small to medium ranges. Up until a year ago, the only xbows that were competition legal were restricted to a 90 lbs draw weight, and open sights. From the bench it was a much better story, and although the wind was still messing me about, ‘kill’ sized groups at 40 to 45 yards were possible.
