I see many people say how great it is at 30 yards. How is accuracy at 60-70 yards? Or would a regular bow be more sufficient at that range?

I have "robin-hooded" bolts at 50 yards. I replaced the laser sight with a ranged scope with elevation lines. As long as you adjust for windage and range, 20 inch bolts with good 125 grain broadheads should be very deadly. Based on fps at 300, I dont think I would want to go any further out than 70 as you kinetic energy drops exponentially. I can say that it will through and through deer at 45 yards.

Hi, I do not shoot my regular bow at 60 to 70 yards. I have not tried the recruit at this range either. I can tell you at 30 to 40 yards it is fantastic and certainly all you need in a nice small easily manageable package. Good luck.

I shot a whitetail doe with mine at 58yds. She ran 40 yds before dying. The Recruit can do anything those high$$ bows can do

Yes this gets out there at 300 yards. I use it for 300 yards and it perform pretty damn good hell you cant beat the price either. Oh and i shoot from .223 up to 30-06 and all is visable at 300 yards. Hope this helps your out in your choice.

It depends on your distance. I use mine on a 30-06 out to 300 yards, if you put a 15/20 MOA scope mount/base you can go longer, but here in Northern NE you don't need much more. The range of it is good and it is a fine shooter for any .308 caliber from 75-400, but not without a sloped mount.

Another hunting article I read indicated that a 55-60# draw weight was good for a 30-yard kill, whereas a 70# draw weight would be better for a 50-60-yard kill. With these ratings, the 25# draw weight of the Banshee might only be accurate to 10 yards. The design of the Banshee is simplistic, even by recurve standards, and you will have to work with it a while to get anything further (accuracy-wise) out of it. I will be buying one as my son's first compound bow; he has been practicing with a Bear student straight bow I've had for 30 years. If he likes it, maybe next year I'll move him into a $200 model.

This is for an adult and more than legal to hunt with. I love it, shoots accurate after you sight it in . It requires the sight and arrow rest to be installed but if yo don't know how you can go to Dicks sporting goods or probably most any sporting goods store and they can do it fairly cheap also they can nock it and adjust the draw weight to a lower weight (so a kid could use it to) but I am not certain how low it will go. 40 pounds is the minimum weight for a compound bow in Ohio to hunt with.

Definetely does, its going 240 fps. Its not going to reach out 50 plus yards like compound cross bows but in Michigan my average shot even during gun seasons is 15 to 25 yards. The trade off for only weighting 4.5 lbs is distance. This bow is well built and worth the money, only 139$ at Dunhams.

I bought one for the wife and was surprised that it is plenty strong enough (I have to pull it back for her). My compound is set at 65# and it easily shoots as strong as that. The arrows are cheap (buy some carbons). I couldn't tweak it in with the peep sights so i put the scope on (it was a little difficult) and it shoots fine. All in all plenty of power and well worth the price. I would suggest a puller as it cocks the string evenly.

Have it mounted on a Gamo hornet .177 and have it zeroed at 30 yards and shooting 10.5 grain crossman premier domes. Is good to about 45 yards then starts dropping off. Being it's a mill dot scope at 75 yards I hold over 3 dots and am spot on. Hope this helps as I have been very happy with scope.

I think that this depends on how well you shoot and the condition you will shoot in, for me it's very clear and accurate up to 100 yards and possible a bit further but that really depends on the shooter.

Damion, Accuracy and range are comparable to any 150 pound crossbow on the market. Ethical range to hunt an animal is 30-40 yards, I would recommend 30 yards, which this bow can handle. As far as accuracy goes, it all depends on the shooter and how much they practice with their weapon. It will get the arrow where you need it to go, just make sure to practice with it.Best, Bruce

When put together proper & tightened it is good for 50 yards. A proper distance for whatever you need. With that being said, I think if you take the sights off & just practice it can be even further. I shot it well over 100 yards by elevating it 6 inches or so.

I'd say mine is accurate to within 40-50 feet. Good for a pistol or a shotgun, maybe a bull pub rifle. Outside that you can literally twist the sight and watch the red dot make a circle on the wall so I don't think they are very aligned within the housing. However at the distance I mentioned above you can get sighted in decently. Highly suggest if using to approximate the point of aim, that you follow up with a trip to a range to fine tune it.

Hi Jerry , thank you for your inquiry, the Gamo Hunter Extreme SE Air Rifle would be very effective at 35 yards, not as effective at 50 yards.ThanksPhil

I love it on my AR15. It's bright and sharp. I have no problem using it out to 400 yds. so using it on a .22 would be more than adequate for the range.

I don't know how consistent the draw weight is set out of the box. My bow was around 58lbs. Be sure to get it tuned. The cams were slightly out of sync. It's a great bow. Can't wait for the deer to cooperate enough for me to use it!

I have used it from between 25 and 30 yards and it works fine. I use it duckhunting. On my mojo

I have mine sighted in out to 60 yards and it is very accurate at that range, so you may be able to shoot further but I have no need to.
