Petron MKII Sure Shot Hand Bow

Product Information

A few people within NFAS (National Field Archery Society) used to shoot them, but they were better suited to other disciplines. However, that all changed a little over a year ago when NFAS changed their rules removing the maximum draw weight clause and instead imposing a maximum velocity of 300fps, in common with all other classes.

Up until a year ago, the only xbows that were competition legal were restricted to a 90 lbs draw weight, and open sights. Test your accuracy with the target on the box, take on empty cans in a game of knock-‘em-down, or refine your long-range shooting with a distance challenge or two.

While on the subject of the dovetail; it is adjustable, to allow the dioptre sight to cope with different ranges.
