CenterPoint Sniper Elite 385 385 FPS 185 LBS Compound Crossbow - 14.75 Inch Cocked with Whisper Silencing System

So after I did a good bit of research on multiple cross bows I decided on this one. ( early Christmas gift from the wife ) it went together pretty easy its has some weight to it but that is not an issue for me. The scope is ok but would recommend getting one on the better end. I will further update review ones i get a chance to sight it in and take it hunting. But I honestly think it is i pretty good eventry level crossbow.

I put a Pinty scope on it, did a little sighting in at 30 to 40 yards and then tried 80 yards. First shot, Bullseye! Second two where affected by a crosswind. This is my first crossbow so still playing with the mechanics. Used to a compound bow, what a difference. I think this is a fantastic buy for the money. Great performance, great quality at a great price. Watch what you shoot at, the bolts went right through one of my compound targets. It hits hard. Love it! I did shoot 100 yards and was off by 5 inches but I attribute that to a bad stance. Keep shooting and keep them in the 10 range.

The box was badly damaged. The item was not properly packed. The bow box was in a larger box with no padding so it was knocked around inside larger box which caused damage. Assembly was easy for an experienced Xbow person BUT for a beginner the instructions were NOT detailed enough and can cause issues if not assembled correctly. Pay special attention to the cable slide as well as the scope attachment plates and cable slide ends have specific tolerances that need to be installed correctly, this is NOT called out in the instructions. The hand rail was broken off due to poor packing. The scope turrets were maxed out on the elevation which means I could not adjust the scope. The scope has no flip up covers and the reticle is not lighted. If I were to keep the xbow (doubtful) I would immediately replace the scope. Upon cocking the string would not lock into the trigger(and yes I did check the safety to insure it was off) This was an issue on the older 370 xbow and all the videos show the pull string hooks needing to face outward if behind the the bow cocking. This is wrong if one faces the string hooks inward if cocking the bow the string will then latch almost every time. The mechanics I will not get into BUT it is VERY important on these low end bows to insure the string seats in the trigger housing the same way very time you cock the bow or it was cause shot placement variances. Cocking the bow requires setting the cocking string length properly for easier pulls. Yes it is a low end bow BUT beginners may find it challenging to use. If you just want to shoot target tipped arrows for fun it should suffice. I would not recommend this bow for hunting especially with wide profile fixed broadheads. Some expandables will shoot ok like the Swhacker, Rage not so well. The bow is on the heavy side and has a lot of sound/vibration dampeners which is always a clear signal that engineering on the bow is lacking. Cam rotation was even and the timing seem to be correct. It has the same cable and string quality as the 370 which after shooting will require retuning the bow. The trigger pull is way to long again much like the older 370 (a trigger kit can fix this) If I were to keep the bow the fixes and upgrades would put the total cost around 700+ $

This is not a high end bow but a lot for the money. I paid 199.00 foe it and have killed 4 deer with it so far this year. Accurate and powerful

First full size crossbow. Impressed with overall building quality, fires very accurate out of the box. I will have to fine-tune by zeroing scope. The noise level is good. Cocking, the bow is challenging, so be sure and get the rope the correct length. I took other people‘s advice about the scope that comes with this bow and went ahead and ordered a decent $75 scope to replace the default. I think this will be an excellent bow to learn on for target practice and an occasional nutria. Overall satisfaction is high due to quality and price.

Was easy to assemble, a lot of bang for the buck, and made accurate shots from 10-50 yards. Feels a little faster than my Sniper 370.

A well constructed crossbow. Instructions were a little sketchy so I checked it out on utube. Went together fine then. All in all is a pretty good crossbow and scope for the money. Came with rail wax but no string wax. Took a few minutes to dial in the scope but no big deal.

Great shooting budget friendly crossbow that’s lightweight, accurate and pretty quiet. Scope is good and easy to sight in. My only problem is that after my first hunt I got home and fired a bolt into my target to de-cock, little did I know or realize until arriving for my next hunt I discovered that the cable had snapped. Very disappointing especially after driving an hour to my property. Guess I should have inspected it before I left home. Contacted Amazon for replacement and it is scheduled to arrive Friday 10/17 before my next hunt.
