Assembly was very simple, requiring only a few allen head screws (they provide an appropriate wrench). My big concern was the strength required to cock the crossbow. Once again they told the truth. I could easily pull the draw. My wife needed to place the crossbow nose down and place her foot on the fishing reel bracket in order to pull it, but she did it easily using that method. The six bolts (arrows) provided are target practice only, but hunting bolts are available. The speed is astounding! It is almost as fast as my full size crossbow. The drawbacks are 1.) the price of the extra bolts - $40 for 6 bolts and 2.) you need to buy the initial wax for the strings and bolt carrier as none is provided. Neither are significant drawbacks. TAKE SERIOUSLY THEIR WARNING AND DO NOT FIRE THE CROSSBOW WITHOUT A BOLT. Review: Read this review before you purchase this product. - This product was only shot 8 times. There was a nick in the string so being brand new I wanted to exchange it due to the string looking kinda frayed and didn't look new. I did try their method of cocking and slowly releasing the string back, during that process I noticed one of the strings came off the pully, trying to put it back was impossible, I did cock it to see if the string would position better. The bow dryfired on its own about 2 seconds later almost taking off a few fingers. Bottom line be careful this is not a toy. It's more powerful than you may think. ## Features - Target, Bowfishing and Hunting Use Cases β€” The BALLISTA BAT Reverse is designed for target practice, bowfishing setups and lawful small to mid-size game hunting where permitted. Experienced users may also use it for closer-range larger game where legal, with appropriate bolts, broadheads and precise shot placement. - 340 FPS, 150 lb Reverse Draw Power β€” The 150 lb draw system launches compatible bolts at speeds up to 340 FPS, giving the BAT Reverse stronger output than the standard BAT platform in a compact setup. - Backpack-Friendly 16 x 5 in Frame β€” At 16 x 5 in and about 3 lb, the BAT Reverse fits a standard 30 L backpack for easier transport to the range, water or field without a full-size crossbow case. - Quick, Quiet Loading β€” The built-in cocking assist stays attached to the crossbow, reducing cocking pull effort to about 50 lb and supporting controlled, quiet loading without a separate loose rope cocker. - Lightweight Handling for Longer Sessions β€” The compact frame and low carry weight help reduce fatigue during target practice and outdoor use, while the metal body supports a rigid platform for regular range and field sessions. - String Care and Safe Use β€” Inspect, wax and lubricate the string and cables as directed, keep a spare string set for routine maintenance, use compatible bolts with the recommended weight and never dry fire. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C1LHSNQM | | Archery Draw Length | 8.25 inches | | Archery Draw Weight | 50 pounds | | Best Sellers Rank | #154,110 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #49 in Archery Crossbows | | Brand | BALLISTA | | Brand Name | BALLISTA | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 179 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | 3 Practice Bolts 13", Crossbow, User manual | | Item Type Name | crossbow | | Item Weight | 3 pounds | | Manufacturer | BALLISTA | | Manufacturer Part Number | BAT Reverse | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Name | BAT REVERSE | | Model Number | BAT Reverse | | Number of Items | 1 | | Size | 16 x 5" | | UPC | 196852865833 | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BALLISTA - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 3 pounds - **Material:** Aluminum - **Model Name:** BAT REVERSE ## Images ![- BALLISTA BAT Reverse Draw Compound Mini Crossbow - Crossbow for Hunting, Fishing and Target - Fast 340 fps, Powerful 150lbs, Lightweight 3lbs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hN+xr3l-L.jpg) ![- BALLISTA BAT Reverse Draw Compound Mini Crossbow - Crossbow for Hunting, Fishing and Target - Fast 340 fps, Powerful 150lbs, Lightweight 3lbs - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tW0XM6+lL.jpg) ![- BALLISTA BAT Reverse Draw Compound Mini Crossbow - Crossbow for Hunting, Fishing and Target - Fast 340 fps, Powerful 150lbs, Lightweight 3lbs - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wep54VbcL.jpg) ![- BALLISTA BAT Reverse Draw Compound Mini Crossbow - Crossbow for Hunting, Fishing and Target - Fast 340 fps, Powerful 150lbs, Lightweight 3lbs - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QAbQMIQXL.jpg) ![- BALLISTA BAT Reverse Draw Compound Mini Crossbow - Crossbow for Hunting, Fishing and Target - Fast 340 fps, Powerful 150lbs, Lightweight 3lbs - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tn2936mQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What's your relationship with William Tell archery?** A: None **Q: Everything in California seems illegal. With that said, is this legal in California? Don't want to break any laws here.** A: I just looked it up on Google as I would highly recomend you do yourself especially where legal issuse are involved. I'm not form California. I'm from Missouri and the Balista Bat Reverse is completely legal here for target shooting and hunting. Unfortunately in California your crossbow needs to have a draw weight of at least 125 lbs.(which the Bat Reverse does at 150lbs.) and have a draw length of at least 14 inches (which the Bat Reverse most definately does not) and the stock of the crossbow must be at least 18 inches long (which the Bat Reverse definately does not have as it does not come with a shoulder stock at all and even if you add the the $159 FAB Defense Cobra stock that Ballista sells for this bow you're still comming in just shy of 15 inches. Hope this helped. **Q: Dose it come with the sholder brace?** A: We have a folding stock accessory, as well as fixed stock configurations of the crossbow that could be purchased as an accessory. **Q: Will this harvest deer?** A: The answer is a qualified yes. It won't drop a deer from a great distance but 30-40 yards (perhaps a little more) it should be effective. It would be necessary to use hunting bolts and broadheads, not the practice bolts that came with the BAT or Reverse bat. I also use the Ballista red dot sight. Your steady aim is an even bigger factor. The FPS is amazing and I easily bury the practice bolts 90% deep into rubber mat targets from 30 yards. . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Crossbow Pistol *by K***B on July 20, 2023* Some online claims can be a little questionable, but this company delivers.

I highly recommend it as a 1st crossbow because all the things it survived but it is still accurate and works well even with bad operators ## Frequently Bought Together - BALLISTA BAT Reverse Draw Compound Mini Crossbow - Crossbow for Hunting, Fishing and Target - Fast 340 fps, Powerful 150lbs, Lightweight 3lbs - BALLISTA Sting Micro-Diameter Crossbow Bolts Carbon Arrows with Field Tips, Half-Moon Nocks, Penetrator Inserts for Hunting Broadheads OD 6.0mm (Pack of 6) - BALLISTA 1x 30mm Tactical Reflex Green Red Dot Sight Optic with 20mm/11mm Rail Mount for Hunting Shooting, Battery Included --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/528919895-ballista-bat-reverse-draw-compound-mini-crossbow-crossbow-for-hunting](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/528919895-ballista-bat-reverse-draw-compound-mini-crossbow-crossbow-for-hunting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
