1st crossbow, 40 yrs in bowhunting

by Bruce, Verified Owner from MO, United States Written on December 18, 2022
Centerpoint is very popular with new crossbow hunters and for good reason. Everyone I met who has one says they are great, and they are! There are many YouTube videos about this bow and other Centerpoint Crossbows. The assembly video is very helpful and the speed ranges from 405-407 with a 400 gr. bolt/broadhead combo. A lighter bolt/broadhead may reach the 450 FPS, but that puts stress on the bow and raise the risk of bow failure. Besides, that is so fast that the 20 and 30 yard difference of drop is a mere 3 inches. The trigger has some creep but the trigger weight is just about right for a hunting bow. Accuracy is great! I've seen 3 and 4 inch groups at 100 yds as common. The bow is a little heavy, but works great for a stand situation and helps stabilize the shot. When the bow is cocked, it is very narrow and easy to shoot from a tree stand. Spend the time on the range if you shoot over 40 yards, the bow will do the job, but wind, sudden unforeseen animal movement can ruin a shot that the bow can do. I added the Powerdraw Crank because I love to shoot squirrels and don't want to climb out the the tree stand to draw the bow.
Pros:
  • accuracy
  • speed
  • Good trigger
  • cost/quality price point
  • Crosspoint reputation
