It was easy to assemble. No issues shooting it or sighting it in. Good instructional videos for this model. It came with a $120 silent crank for free and a $30 mail in rebate. I got the rebate before I even had a chance to sight it in. I was skeptical reading the reviews about strings breaking and such. No issues after about 10 shots. Sighted in at 10,20,40 yards no problem. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a crossbow and not wanting to drop a $1000+ on one. It’s on the heavy side, but I really don’t have much to compare it with. I used a Bog pod to sight it in and it worked great. 12/12/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Larry Wurtland, KY Sweet little crossbow. Got the crossbow two days after ordering. took about 30 minutes to assemble, and then about 10 shots to zero in. I was hunting with it the next day after receiving. Great compact crossbow for the money. Easy to use from the stand with the narrow axel to axel width. I use to hunt with a compound but can't now due to neck injury. This is the way to go for getting back into bow hunting. The Killer instinct is an upgrade from the crossbow that I had, and for the price, you can't beat it. Thanks KYGUNCO! 11/15/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** David Palmyra, IN So far so good. Trigger isn't the best but I've had worse. Time will tell 10/21/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Jason Johnson City, TN Wow !!!!! What an amazing crossbow and the price you can’t this value with any other product on the market . I’ll put up against the 1,300 dollar ones 10/18/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Tom Macon, MS First time I shot this 2 of the three strings broke, busted both cams. I tried to get KYGUN to help, 12 days later they finally referred me to the Killer Instinct. After 8 days I finally got in touch with K.I., was on hold for 85 minutes and hopefully will receive a partial replacement. I tried for NO STARS, will not allow 10/2/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Jeff Elkview, WV I recieved my new cross bow with in 3 days I finially had a chance to shoot it in last sunday to get it ready for bow season I had it almost were i wanted it and the string blew up after having it a week i called killer instinct warrenty and they said i would have to send it to them and it would take a month to fix Very disappointed I saved that money to buy this cross and now unable to bow hunt and all she could say was you have to send it in for part only repair I loved how the crossbow shot but very disappointed in how they spoke to me I could see if i had it for a yr or 2 but a week and first time i got a chance to enjoy my new cross and she didnt even offer nothing to compensate for the inconvenience so now i am waiting to get it it back Thanks for listening to me rant Jeff Johnson 10/2/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Giovanni Chesterland, OH this crossbow is awesome and the price is amazing 9/26/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** William Pewaukee, WI Awesome cross bow and Awesome dealer! Great package and it is a "Killer" cross bow. Thank you KYGUNCO for making my purchase a pleasant one! WB 9/23/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Verified Customer Great weapon at a great price. Smooth shooting 9/16/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ** Douglas Adams, TN Not good, for the last three years killer instinct has gotten worse. Parts and components are failing out of the box. Customer service is the only thing that is keep the company in business. They kind of have to be good because something is always breaking. While zeroing my scope, 17 shots into it my string frays. Now I have to order the parts and have local archery shop fix it. I see it as an on going problem. My advice is to stop selling these crossbows, until they fix their issues. 9/15/2024 ** ** ** ** ** ## More from Killer Instinct ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@id":"https://www.kygunco.com/#website","@type":"WebSite","description":"Shop KYGUNCO for firearms, ammo, accessories, parts, and outdoor gear at low prices with fast, easy nationwide shipping.","name":"KYGUNCO","url":"https://www.kygunco.com/","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.kygunco.com/#/schema/organization/kygunco"}},{"@id":"https://www.kygunco.com/product/killer-instinct-5030-combo-vital-x-405fps-crossbow-package-compact-dsc-crank#webpage","@type":"WebPage","description":"The Killer Instinct Vital X crossbow features a patented, fully synchronized X Cam system that requires less effort to draw.
