Crossbow 80 lbs

Help with crossbow selection

At Hattila Online Archery, you'll find a wide selection of80-pound (lbs)crossbows ready to satisfy all your handgun needs and requirements. Whether you're looking to buy your first one-handed crossbow, replace your current one, give as a gift or upgrade from a 50-lb crossbow, an 80-lb mini crossbow will be a great weapon for leisure or sport shooting. Note that for safe crossbow shooting, it's advisable to practice at a shooting club with a range suitable for both bows and crossbows. Be aware that this throwing weapon is not suitable for long-distance shooting or hunting (a hunting crossbow is more powerful).

80-lb. crossbows are generally one-handed, smaller crossbows that are easy to handle and carry, like 50-lb. crossbows. They are, however, slightly more expensive and, above all, more powerful and accurate. These crossbows are perfect for increasing your level of proficiency and moving on to shooting from a little further away to hit your targets. You can install various accessories on these models, including a laser sight for more precision in your one-handed shots.

For the more discerning crossbowman, it's possible to add or customize your one-handed crossbow with other accessories such as a red dot scope, ammunition (50-80 lb. arrows) or strings. However, if you think small one-handed crossbows won't suit you, you may want to consider a 125-lb. crossbow, a 150-lb. crossbow or more.

Small and powerful crossbows

80-pound crossbows are becoming increasingly popular with teenagers and adults wishing to take up shooting sports. They are less powerful than a crossbow rifle, but offer a fun and original way to discover precision shooting.

The 120 or 180 lb crossbow models are true hunting weapons, while the 80 lb crossbow pistol is considered a powerful mini crossbow. This category of products is particularly suited to adults and beginners alike.

Ideal for sport shooting

Choosing a small, powerful crossbow means choosing a weapon that is not only easy to handle, but also capable of developing 80 pounds of power. The powerful mini crossbow is generally made of fiberglass, which makes it lightweight. As a result, it can be aimed with just one hand and offers excellent maneuverability. The user also enjoys total freedom of movement, ideal for leisure crossbow shooting and introductory sport shooting.

Be careful, however, not to let children use them unsupervised, because however small they may be, 80-lb crossbows are still powerful shooting weapons.

80 or 90 pounds, how do you choose?

The 80-lb hand-held crossbow models outperform the 50-lb crossbow pistols in terms of power. With an 80-lb. mini crossbow, it's possible to make a taut shot of around 40 meters and a precise shot of up to 15 meters. Projectile speed ranges from 40 to 60 meters per second. This makes it a powerful little crossbow for adults, ideal for learning target-shooting or leisure techniques in the garden, in a learning club or at an archery or crossbow shooting range.

If you feel you're limited in your progress by 80-pound crossbows, then you may want to consider 90-pound crossbows and move up to a higher power level. You'll find some excellent models in this crossbow category, such as the black Cobra R9 90 lbs 240 FPS from EK Archery.
