Accurate to 500 yards

Deadly crossbows sold on High Street without need for a licence or background checks DEADLY assault rifle-style crossbows are available on high streets and online without any need for a licence or background checks. Today the Daily Express launches a crusade calling on the Government to crack down on the sale of the potentially lethal weapons which can be bought without having to give details of identity or a reason for their use.

We were able to visit a shop yards from one of Britain's busiest city centre high streets and buy a high-velocity 175lb Panther crossbow which boasts the promise "Built for power".

The terrifying weapon, bought in Leeds, is capable of hitting a target with its aluminium-pointed bolts at 500 yards.

Like many other brands it comes with a telescopic sight to make aiming easier and is designed to be as straightforward as possible to shoot.

500 yards? Sweet! Now I don't even need to leave the house to go hunting

Riiiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhht

Yup. 500 yards and then it bounces right off.

Here here..percy picklebottom has just announced that monkeys will be trained to throw poo at the earl of misgivens from the county squeak right after high tea...

Makes you wonder how a country could go from Churchill "Never Surrender" to hysteria over crossbows.

I think it has something to do with their dental plan...lol

So if it's accurate to 500 yards then there's no excuse for missing a broadside shot at 30 yards any more, right? How did they eliminate user error? Must be using a laser lock on with a gyro. Amazing what technology can do these days.

What makes it and assault weapon? Scary thing is I have seen what happens in UK ends up coming here a few years later.

500 yards at a foam target.. give me a break.

Maybe there's no wind out there ???
