After the immensely successful "Adder", EK Archery is now launching another tactical repeating crossbow - "Vlad" named after Vlad the Impaler only this time it's a pistol! Like the "Adder", the crossbow can be broken down without tools and the solid aluminum buttstock can even be folded away for storage in a small padded case. The detachable limbs makes it easy to replace with no string removal in a similar way to the Adder. Two strength limb sets (frontends) are included in the package: A 60-pound bow and a 90-pound bow. The magazine holds eight bolts which are heavier than the standard pistol crossbow bolts. The included Speed Loader allows eight bolts to be loaded in no time. The Speed Loader can be clipped to one of the two side Picatinny rails. The package also includes a high-quality red dot sight. "Vlad" can also be shot with the integrated rear and front sight, however. "Vlad" combines extremely compact dimensions, easy cocking, lightning-fast firing sequences, high arrow velocities, and excellent serviceability!

Vampires Beware
Very cool, very solidly built with sturdy plastic and metal. The stock wiggles a bit in both the folded and straight positions and the bolts are defintely cheap or made for soft targets - but this thing is wicked. The 90lb string is harder to cock for sure so I would keep the 60 on for quick use/home defense - with a little practice you can shoot a grouping of 8 in under 30 seconds. Worth it for the price, hoping spare bolts and strung bows are made available as well.

Cant find replacement bolts
I like the crossbow for sure. It works great and shot the bolts that came with it. My biggest issue is i cant find any other bolts that work for it besides their proprietary ones. The two that were suggested for purchase along with it do NOT fit it and were a pain to get loose once they jammed inside it.

My new favorite!
Pros: It's compact and easy to assemble. What's not to love about an 8 shot cartridge and additional 8 shot picatiny mounted quick loader. No cheap 3d printed parts that might break and murder you on accident like upbolt smart upgrades.Cons: Much harder to cock than my Adder. The bolts seem kind of cheap with bendable aluminum stocks instead of carbon and the tips are loose and wiggle. I'm having trouble finding a decent alternative broadhead bolt for this.

Looks good, feels good, bolts are not good, NO compatible better bolts out there
The bolts lose their side feathers easily as well as the back end cap, I only shot 4 or 5 full magazines the first day and lost 8 bolts in the same way, I can't find any compatible better bolts, wasted much time and money, I went over my time limit before I started to test it out to return at amazon the unit, so it's sitting in my closet.Otherwise, the crossbow seems heavy

Solid craftsmanship and very powerful.
Only thing I would improve is the magazine release, it’s a little difficult to utilize and it’s plasticHowever the plastic does seem of high quality.Extremely powerful for a pistol crossbow and with the Saxon war bolts and the 90lb recurve you can send a bolt 3/4 the way through a piece of plywood.Best $300 I ever spent.

Not worth it
Purchase this item had for maybe a week and the safety completely broke looked online found so many other cheap options since I've purchased this product save your money
