Good purchase - CenterPoint Sniper 370 Compound Crossbow Package

I read numerous reviews and comments on this crossbow before it arrived. There were several folks that complained that it was difficult to assemble. If you have opposable thumbs and can use the included tools, you can do it. It just takes patience, since the directions are both written, and illustrated. Pay attention, and it is easy.

It is of sturdy construction, though, as some complained, the adjustable stock does have some play in it. That shouldn't be a problem. It seems to be of good quality, and I have shown it to friends who do crossbow hunting. They were impressed with the overall value of the entire package. I haven't had time to actually use it, but am planning on doing so this coming week.

It is easy to shoulder and the ergonomics seem good on it. The included scope is obviously a base model, but it should serve for my purposes. The bag arrived a week later, and I am pleased with it. It appears to be of good quality construction, and all of the accessories fit easily into the separate zippered compartment.

I'm new to this particular type of "toy" (OK, I know it really isn't a toy.), and I purchased it as an introductory piece, to see if I wanted to carry it further. It seems to have been a good choice. Having read reviews by folks who hunt with this model, (one who claims to have taken a Cape Buffalo with it), it seems it was a good choice.
