The ball carrier and tennis ball slide on two stainless steel rails. The ball shoots through the center of the square tubing frame to a range of 40 yards.

With a folding rear sight and rugged solid oak stock. At 7.5 lb. it's light enough that a sholder stock is not needed.

The fiberglass limbs supply 990 inch/lb. of power. 7 1/2" H - 25" L - 32" W.

One year warranty**. $185 US. plus shipping
Cocking is done by putting your foot through the stirrup and pulling the string on both sides of the ball carrier. The safety automatically sets when you cock the bow. Place a ball under the retaining spring, and push the safety off. You are ready to shoot.
Remove two nuts and the limbs hinge for easy transportation.

** The Blockhead Crossbow is warranted for one year for use under normal conditions. This warranty covers all parts and labor except the bow string.
