Review for
Uncommon Carry Silver Bowman Mini Crossbow
Though I did not buy this from optic planet I do have a version that I got from somewhere else but originally got 2 diff ones both work same though I like mine this one is slightly more compact/concealable. This is something that I would recommend for Adults(though inner kid comes out but has potential to cause harm doc has Sesame St& Barbie band aids) I was kind of skeptical for the price as it being cheap novelty type item in reality but it's got a little bit of weight(feels like quality metal vs looking like a cheap stamped item) to it and you have to be careful as it does fling BB's toothpicks(cut off ends/use ones w/ a flat ends),Matches(Viking Funeral anyone) Cheap Qtips(ones with plastic shaft vs brand which has paper shaft) they fly better like any bolt/arrow the shaft should have little weight. Though I do feel I need to state this unless using Qtips but even than follow same rules of pew safety as it dents cans w/balls & I did get it to puncture can(slightly) so they do fly at a good clip(don't have a chronograph to get fps) but it's crazy & endless fun. As I mentioned I didn't buy it from here & I have a slightly fancier version(it's looks like a transformer head) but from what I read/seen they all do the same & OP price is like <-56% than MSRP\UC sites sells for so it's a bargain for self amusement and though I haven't brought it into work yet I do think that it I am going to get more as I see them creating competition(also @ work they highly frown upon "desk pops

Normally I stick to SF/SL WML's as it's what I've used professionally for 20+yrs! I was building a 365 Macro & want to check out the new TLR-7HLX but it was sold out I have a 7X on my Hellcat & 1st SL light wasn't really impressed with it seemed lacking as most SL WML's in past was competing with SF WML's, & I happened to be at Sig Sauer Store & Range one of the salesman asked if I saw these lights & usually not interested in brands not familiar with more so on an EDC or Duty use but pulled one out of the box & it was what I expected out of the SL TLR7X defined hotspot with great spill (no hate on SL but the 7x is ok for bedside use only no define hotspot & more of a flood) ability to punch through photonic barriers like what an EDC light should do or be multipurpose.Few yrs ago actually learned about things like lights & optics or what I didn't know and a huge thing is many companies will boast about Crazy Lumens yet not tell you or list Candela lower on the list though have a good amount of lumens is good but honestly Candela is just as if not more important like this light is 450Lm & 12,000 Candela for up to 1.5hrs vs SL TLR7X 500Lm & 5k Can(TLR-7HLX is the same if using a c123 500lm/5K battery vs rechargeable 1000Lm/10k Can for 30mins) The 2 thing that I find as a Con & one has since gotten better is the switches I'm used to SL/SF, so push in vs down also was super stiff at first, #2 they don't offer one to fit a 365/XL or smaller besides ones w/ grip activation switch &
