Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Bear X Desire XL Crossbow is medium to heavy, it is a single action only trigger as you need to cock the bow in order for the trigger to be engaged. The safety is also engaged when you cock the bow requiring you to take the Bear X Desire XL Crossbow off safe before shooting as an added layer of safety.

Accuracy: The stock can be adjusted up to 2.5 inch for comfort and increased stability. FPS is claimed to be around 175 depending on range of shot. It looks to perform fairly well.

Build Quality: The Bear X Desire XL Crossbow is actually made pretty decently, yes it is mostly plastic and light weight but feels sturdy enough to hold, the only real metal I can confirm is the cocking rail, mostly everything else other than the nuts and bolts that hold it together are some sort of plastic.

Realism: I think their is a crossover in terms of interest for a product like this with people that are also interested in airguns. I know I like the Bear X Desire XL Crossbow and can see a place for it in my collection even if it’s not a replica product.

Pros:

• Fairly inexpensive.
• Super light weight.
• Can shoot in a variety of situations.
• Easy to draw the bow.
• Safety is automatically engaged.
• Picatinny rail already has iron fully adjustable rear sight but can mount a red dot if you like.
• Fiber optic front sight.
• 3 bolts included.
• 175 fps
• Comes with fore grip.
• 3 portion adjustable rear but stock.

Cons:

• Will need a good backstop or will lose or damage a lots of bolts.
• Takes a little bit of time to set it up but not too hard if you follow the instructions.

Comments: The Bear X Desire XL Crossbow is an interesting product that once purchased and if you manage to not lose the bolts will cost virtually nothing to shoot since you can reuse the bolts all day long given you shoot them on target and that target does not damage the bolts. It may not offer the rapid fire action shooting of a replica semi auto CO2 Pistol but still challenges the shooter in terms of getting the best possible accuracy out of it and at the end of the day trigger time is trigger time! If you are looking for something a bit different than your CO2 Air Gun then maybe the Bear X Desire XL Crossbow will fill that requirement.
