The scope does hold zero for quite a while, though. This means you’ll have to worry about fogging during cold and/or damp weather. The scope is decent quality, but the coating on the optics isn’t very good. Once I mounted the scope and realized one of the bolts was coming loose, I was able to get everything properly tightened down and sight in the scope. As previously noted, the mounting hardware was not completely included with the crossbow, so I had to scavenge from other crossbows to get the scope mounted. The included scope is a 4×32 multi reticle scope. 150 pounds might be an easy draw, but the rope cocking device ensures the draw is even and consistent, which is crucial to the accuracy of any x-bow. While most grown men might scoff at the use of a rope cocking device for such a light draw weight, I strongly recommend using it. Spider includes a rope cocking device with the crossbow. This crossbow has a draw weight of 150 pounds, and the draw is smooth and consistent. The good? The crossbow is narrow enough to go through the bush without getting snagged very much, so in that respect, it is decent for stalk hunting. It’s fairly heavy, though, and quite loud. of kinetic energy, the Spider 150 is decent enough for deer hunting and hunting smaller game. I’d just expect more out of a crossbow that has a 150 lb. This is much less than most of my other crossbows, but it’s still fairly respectable. The crossbow delivers arrows at 250 fps, with around 55 ft. The power of this crossbow is also less than stellar.

This is adequate for target shooting and hunting, and it’s probably the best you can expect for such a low-budget crossbow. My groupings from 25 yards fell within a 1” circle, and my 50 yard groupings were within 2”. Once I sighted in the scope, I began testing the crossbow’s accuracy.Ībout all I can say about the accuracy of this crossbow is that it is mediocre. I finally figured out that particular problem (loose bolt because I wasn’t using the bolts designed for the scope), and got it solved. Sighting in this crossbow was more difficult than usual, because the arrows kept dropping off as the scope reset itself. Then I was ready to sight in the crossbow. Next, I mounted the quiver and (finally) got the scope mounted. I finally got the bow fully assembled, which involves attaching the riser to the stock and then attaching the foot stirrup. Ultimately, I ended up scavenging together all of the necessary parts from other crossbows just to get the Spider assembled. This problem was compounded by the fact that this crossbow is mass-manufactured in China, and getting in touch with customer service was next to impossible. compound crossbow was my most difficult assembly to date, because right out of the box I was missing the parts needed to mount the scope. Putting a crossbow together is usually a pretty simple task for me, since I’ve assembled dozens upon dozens of them over the years. Each package delivered by Spider includes the following items: Howdy, and welcome to our review of the Spider 150 lb. Includes 6-pack of 20” arrows with broadheads.
