![]() There is always something unusual, different or important mentioned in each manual. Thirty minutes and you’re done, including a detailed reading of the owner’s manual, which is always the best first step when gaining familiarity with a new crossbow. No shortcuts here, just the basics of limb/rail assembly, scope mounting and quiver attachment. That previous CX mentioned earlier had been in my stable of crossbows for more than 5 years and accounted for three fat does last fall.Īssembly of the PileDriver was typical of most other basic crossbows. They perform in all weather conditions and are well worth the asking price. With all that being said, the PileDriver and its CX predecessors have been shown to be as accurate and reliable as any other similarly priced crossbows on the market. Targets neither bleed nor escape, so there’s no harm in trying a few shots at 60 yards or more for practice purposes. Beyond that range, arrow performance tends to wither considerably, and in my experience, is not worth the risk. I’m more concerned with what’s practical rather than what’s possible, especially in a hunting crossbow, and I know that any whitetail I see inside 40 yards is in deep trouble. One could - theoretically, at least - shoot targets and big game out to 80 yards with the PileDriver’s 4x32 scope, but accurate arrow placement on live targets out to 45 yards or so is more than adequate for deer hunting. The provided compact 4x32 scope is a basic, no-frills unit without illumination and enough crosshair settings to satisfy the long-range crowd. The stock features CX’s unique digital “desert snakeskin” camo pattern. A pair of simple string silencers and string stops help dampen the slap of the string as the arrow exits the rail, but otherwise the PileDriver is a sturdy, basic crossbow designed to send arrows downrange at 390 fps, which it does with reliability, dependability and consistent accuracy. ![]() Its adjustable buttstock is a definite plus for long-armed shooters, as is the adjustable foregrip. Best described as an entry-level crossbow, the PileDriver contains few of the bells and whistles that come standard on many high-end, modern crossbows. ![]()
