Will this kill zombies? Is this is good as Daryl Dixon's crossbow?

Many of Mr. Dixon's shot's are quite close in & close up. I imagine that you could duplicate most of his handy-work by taking a 2-3 foot length of sharpened rebar and strapping it to your upper wrist and forearm with heavy duty velcro straps.

Daryl's is better because his doesn't shoot as fast. You will lose all your bolts with the 350 because it will shoot completely thru the zombie and your bolt will keep going and never be found.

It is a little known fact that the best way to kill zombies is to sprinkle salt on them. They melt just like slugs. However, there has been a concerted effort to suppress this valuable information because (1) zombie goo is not environmentally friendly, as it must be washed away with leaded gasoline and then burned, and (2) chasing zombies around with a container of David's Kosher Salt is totally lacking in cool factor. Item (2) can be corrected for, however, by loading 12 gauge shells with rock salt, and firing them out of a sawed off Purdy shotgun. Just remember to clean the barrel thoroughly after every zombie encounter, as the salt will cause a destructive degree of corrosion.

Projectile weapons typically are not efficient for killings zombies. Throwing knives would be better served as a tool or self defense against humanity's other faction that you'll ultimately have to fight. Likely they will capture you, and their Che Guevara look alike will make you play basketball while only have a couple hours left before a horrible poison destroys your body. Welcome to the human race.

This crossbow will deliver an arrow on target very quickly if you do your part. Do you believe you lost deer because the arrow was not fast enough or accurate enough ? Hitting the vitals of a deer with a good broadhead should be all that is required. Shooting a crossbow is not like shooting a gun. You need to practice lots, and only take shots that you feel 100% confident in. I hunt with this crossbow as an upgrade to a Horton 150. I'll shoot 50 yards on the target range, but only about 25 yards in the field.

Don't know about a crossbow as I only use a compound bow, but they are effective on turkey and deer. If you are really serious about turkeys you might want to consider one of those super wide broadheads designed for a neck shot.

I just bought this and I love it. Pain in the rear to string but it shoots quick. There's no doubt it will kill all small and medium game. It would be able to pierce a deer but I wouldn't push it with a moose. Lol

The scope is a weird dot thing that I took off and just used the sights. Sights can be dialed in some but for me it still ended up high. As for game, well I guess you could. It does get going pretty fast. I have a cardboard box stuffed to the brim w old denim and even still it gets about half the dart in. Those darts are fairly pointy. That said, the while it *could* be done, its main purpose in life is to be a novelty crossbow. You can't (in my area) take it to the archery range and the gun range starts wondering if they're being pranked. It's a toy for grown ups. Don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed. :-)

Excellent question. Yes, it does. It is great at taking out distant targets and close quarters battle. The illuminated reticle is great at picking off the zombies at medium distances 100 to 200 yds away. The red dot's quick target acquisition is great at keeping the zombie hordes from overwhelming you.

Yes, but so will Roundup which is much less expensive. Note: Roundup kills grass as well...Crossbow doesn't.

No. It fires nerf darts. And holds up to 4 at a time. Our kids played with it for about a month before they broke off the "crossbow" part, but it still works because it isn't part of the firing mechanism. Now it just looks like a nerf dart gun.

I used it just as a general tool. The metal is poor quality and bends easy and the handle falls apart. The only thing this would do is piss a zombie off because it got something stuck in its head. Don't go cheap unless its special!! It's worth paying the extra money for!

It's my first crossbow, and it has some power to it...depending on you range, it might go right thru him.

No, this will not protect you against a zombie apocalypse as zombies are not created through airborne particles. You need a different kind of protection that would protect you from bites, scrapes, etc... it might help if you smashed a zombie in the head with the filter but there are many other tools to help you in those situations. I HIGHLY recommend this kit from Gerber for better protection: http://www.gerbergear.com/Apocalypse/Gear/Apocalypse-Kit_30-000601 Good luck, and remember... don't stare at the flowers. ;)

Definitely, I have killed five deer so far and all were very quick kills. They shoot straight and true from my 150 lb Horton Crossbow.

Well I have not killed anything , but targets with it as of yet. Although with 150# pull I would say it would bring down any of those.Just make sure you get a cocking device of some sort unless you have really strong arms and shoulders. I set up a really thick target and it just sailed through it. So if you get it be careful this bow is a killer.

Not well. They are too tight. I had to use a long thin knife to spit it around inside the arrow to scrape assay some if the material. Also, and most importantly, the blue fins are not attached very well and come off easily. Sometimes on the first use! So the arrows don't fly straight. Check out the new Nerf Zombie hunter crossbow instead. $20 and uses regular darts.

Absolutely. I have owned 3 BARNETTS in the past and currently have a ZOMBIE 350. The rope cocker guarantees consistent accuracy because the string is pulled to the same point each time. I am plenty capable of pulling the 175 pound xbow I have now, BUT accuracy suffers slightly; the difference between 1 inch and maybe 3 inch groups at 30 yards. Good luck.
