So, we checked it out. The package comes with the crossbow, a stock and riser, the assembly riser tools, a trophy ridge xf425 scope, 3 pieces trophy ridge x-ray which is 20 inches long, a picatinny-mount quiver, a rope cocking device, an owners manual, and of course the warranty card.

Unfortunately in our experience, the scope and crossbow doesn\u2019t seem to work well together. This crossbow has a speed of 350 fps which would deliver a kinetic energy of at least 95 foot per LBS.\u00a0Just looking to do some snow camping with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huntingbowlab.com\/blog\/winter-camping-tents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Winter Camping Tents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s already obvious that you can\u2019t cock this crossbow by hand, luckily it already comes with a rope cocking device that\u2019s very convenient. This crossbow is definitely a good one. It\u2019s comfortable, it\u2019s well-made, and it has great speed and power.
