  • 50-lb Pistol Crossbow

    $82.50

    An archery shop near me recently went out of business and I was able to get a few brand new 50-lb PSE Viper SS pistol crossbows.  The one in the photo is an example of what they look like when assembled; the ones I’m offering here are brand new and still in the box.  The photo shows everything that comes with the crossbow.

    These pistol crossbows are serious shooters.  They pull 50 lbs and come with everything you need to assemble them.  They have a fiber optic sight on the front and an adjustable sight on the back so you can fine-tune where it hits.  These crossbows come with 3 arrows (called bolts).  The bolts are plastic and are tipped with a sharp metal field point for target shooting.  If you were serious about making this crossbow into a real hunting weapon, you could have some longer carbon fiber crossbow bolts made at a local archery shop, tip them with small, very sharp 2-blade broadheads and I bet you could hunt with this crossbow, though I’d only recommend close range shots at small to medium-sized game like squirrels and raccoons.  This little crossbow shoots fast at around 200 feet per second with the provided bolts.

    These crossbows come with 2 allen wrenches (for assembling the crossbow), a stringer for stringing and unstringing the crossbow, a dry-fire prevention pin, 3 plastic bolts (crossbow arrows), and bowstring/barrel wax for lubricating the string and contact surface where the string travels when it’s fired.  The string is pulled back via the long cocking arm that protrudes out of the back.  The cocking arm locking pin is released, the cocking arm is folded down and it pulls the string back until it locks.

    These crossbows are BRAND NEW, unused and are still in the box.  Price $60 each +22.50 shipping

  • Northern Paiute Bow, Great Basin Bow (NEW!)

    $925.00

    If you want to hunt with a piece of history, look no further than this bow. This museum-quality replica Northern Paiute bow is a fully functional big game hunting weapon.  It pulls 45 lbs at 20 inches of draw and is capable of taking large game with properly matched arrows.  This bow is based on authentic archaeological examples housed in museums, as well as bow fragments recovered from caves around Winnemucca Lake in NW Nevada.

    This bow is 46 inches long and is made from a juniper limb.  It’s backed with sinew and has a 2-ply sinew string.  The tips and grip are wrapped with braintanned buckskin.  This snappy little bow is a perfect copy of the short blind hunting bows the Northern Paiute people used for hunting deer and elk at close range.  Their hunting blinds were small and inconspicuous to minimize alerting the deer of their presence.  The Paiute knew when the animals moved and how to get close.  All they needed was a weapon that could cover the last few yards in a flash, and this bow fit that need perfectly.  It could be easily concealed within the cramped confines of a small brush or rock blind, and its short profile delivers their obsidian tipped arrows with blinding speed.  My own experiments with identical bows have proved that these little poison slingers pack a lethal punch and can deliver their arrows with plenty of killing power.  Small game aren’t safe either.  With regular practice and matched arrows, this bow can also deliver pinpoint accuracy on small game at distance as well.  This bow is light as a feather in the hand, making it effortless to carry for hours or even days on end.

    Shipped to you in a sturdy PVC pipe to ensure safe delivery to your door.  The PVC pipe also serves as a storage/transport container to protect the bow when traveling.  Care and Instruction sheet included with this bow.  Free shipping within the U.S.
