This is 2011. If you’ve got time for a low-speed, two-handed traditional crossbow, you’re doing something wrong.

Trying to buy this deal but the website is all broke to hell. Can't place my order.

These things are pretty cheap quality, and have popped up here on Deals a few times.

For those into the whole 'zombie killing machine' thing, forget it. Your best use for this in an apocalyptic scenario is varmint-hunting for food.

I got one of these a while back. It works, but the plastic bolts it comes with aren't much good for anything other than target practice on cardboard.

If you get one, I'd suggest picking up an extra string (and make sure you wax the string before trying it out).

@brooklyn11218: Loads for me what part is broken.

@prettywootprincess: I got it to work by using internet explorer (yuck). When I tried to order through Firefox the continue buttons weren't doing anything, and then the whole site had a seizure and I had to close the tab.

This looks like the exact same model I've seen at county fairs for the past 20 years. $10 is the average price too. They are very simple, cheap steel. Even the box looks the same. It's not much of a weapon, doesn't shoot very straight or penetrate anything much stronger than cardboard or sheet metal... maybe a mailbox if you're close enough. It will still hurt someone, but not something you can go hunting with.

I've bought three of them when I was younger and I would still classify them as a teenagers toy now.

posted one of these on woot last week and everyone said they are VERY inaccurate and very dangerous.

@brooklyn11218: I could not replicate the error you mentioned in Firefox. I will let the merchant know about your problem.

@ubernoobw:

Mine did.

@jessberstler:

They aren't very accurate (mostly because they aren't made to any tolerance at all that I can see).

As for being dangerous, it is a real projectile weapon, meaning that one shouldn't point it at anything that one doesn't want to shoot (pretty much the same safety rules as a gun, though you don't have to worry about one of the stock bolts penetrating even a double paned window).

Now I'll be ready for those cardboard zombies! Score!!!

Have bought two of these at different times. Both are crap! Strings pop off ends. Difficult to assemble. Accidental firing without touching trigger!!!

You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

I have 2 of these from BudK (look the same, at least) and have fun just shooting stuff around the yard, and cheap targets. Not the most accurate, not the greatest weapon, but we think it's fun!

Made just cheap enough to hurt you. I have seen string on these break and slap the crap out of someone.

These are a lot of fun, but the bolts break really easy sometimes after just one shot. I would recommend not using a wood target, or anything hard like that.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
