Customized Sniper 150LBs Hunting Crossbow MK-150A1PB
We recently had a customer purchase one of our most popular crossbows, the Man Kung Sniper MK-150A1PB from Thecrossbowstore.com website in October, 2010. Since then our customer has made some self modifications and upgrades to enhance the accuracy and comfort level of the crossbow.
Here are the pictures:
The customer started by attaching a Black Leather sling that would allow for a easy carry and shoot while out hunting.
Black leather sling added (cost $25) Original weight 5 lbs 7 oz. Customized weight 7 lbs. 6 oz.
A Grayling Lite ‘N’ uff quiver was added that holds 4 arrows will make it easy for the hunter to get access to the arrows quickly.
The customer made a upgrade to the scope by attaching a 4 x 32 Dual Red-Green Illuminated Rangefinder Scope with Multiple Rectiles and flip-up caps (cost $50). Dovetail Rail removed and Weaver 20mm Rail installed. And also along with the Red Laser point, attached a Green Laser that will reach up to 100 yards that will assist with hitting a further out target and pressure pad attached with tri-rail scope rings.
You can get a 4×32 Aluminum Scope from Thecrossbowstore.com.
The lower one is a green laser and the top one is a red laser included in the pro package, or you can get the red laser from our store.
Originally there was no cocking mechanism included with the crossbow, our customer attached a white pulley to the stock of the bow so that he could add on a Excalibur Cocking Rope that will allow for a even faster cocking of the string. Thumb pressure pad for green laser.
The last modification that our customer did was to the stock of the crossbow. To make sure our customer had spare strings and tips on him at all times, he added a Colt Rifle Buttplate (cost $25) has a trap door for storing extra strings and tips if ever needed.
When purchasing any of our Man Kung crossbows all of our packages are fully equipped to handle all of your hunting needs and if needed they can be modified to our customers liking. Even having spent extra more money to customize his bow to his preference, our customer has been very pleased with how accurate and efficient the crossbow has been working for him.
Thanks for one of our customers: Wghunter, who shared his DIY customized 150LBs hunting crossbow with us.

Most modern crossbows have the same basic loading and cocking procedure:
- Place the crossbow’s stirrup on the ground.
- Slip your foot through the stirrup and brace it firmly. Make sure that your foot is all the way in the stirrup and will not slip out while you cock the bow.
- Grab the string with both hands. Pull it upward using the same amount of force on both sides. If you pull harder on one side than on the other, the string will be off-center, and your shot will not be accurate. Some crossbow manufacturers sell cocking aids that use cranks or elastic straps to make cocking easier.
- Pull the string all the way to the cocking mechanism. When the bow is cocked, you will hear a loud click. Make sure the string is completely cocked before letting go.
- Place a bolt in the groove, making sure that the end of the bolt touches the string. One of the feathers, or fletchings, should be in the groove.

Crossbows have an automatic safety that engages as soon as you cock the bow. Some have a separate manual safety that you can engage yourself. Either way, the safety will keep you from firing the bow accidentally.
|
Choosing Bolts
The size and strength of a crossbow corresponds to the size and weight of the bolts it fires. Using a light bolt with a very strong crossbow can cause the bolt to fly erratically and can damage the bow. Similarly, archers must choose the right arrows when using traditional bows. Arrows bend as they move, and arrows that are too long or too flexible can hit the front of the bow rather than flying past it.

Firing a crossbow safely requires several precautions:
- Remember that a crossbow is a weapon, not a toy. Many crossbows are used for hunting large animals and can severely injure or kill a person. Do not point one at anything you do not plan to shoot.
- Make sure nothing is in the path of the bow’s string or limbs. The limbs will move forward and out and the string will move forward very quickly. The limbs and string can seriously injure any part of your body that is in their way. If a moving limb hits an obstacle like a tree trunk, it can damage the crossbow.
- Do not release the safety until you are ready to fire.
In addition, you should never dry fire your crossbow or use it with bolts that are lighter than those it’s built to use. A crossbow is made to move very quickly while pushing a bolt, and if that bolt isn’t there, the extra energy could break the crossbows’ limbs. Dry firing voids nearly all crossbow manufacturers’ warranties.
Finally, laws governing crossbow use vary widely, and they specify who can use a crossbow and when. Some laws permit only hunters with disabilities to use crossbows, while others permit anyone to use a crossbow during any hunting season. Before using a crossbow, particularly for hunting purposes, research the laws in your area.

The Physics of Crossbows
Crossbows started to disappear from military use when reliable firearms became widely available. However, they remained popular for hunting in Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. Hunters and target shooters still use them today, although modern crossbows often appear far more sophisticated than their early counterparts. They’re usually made from exceptionally strong, lightweight metals, and they can incorporate scopes, adjustable stocks and other gadgets. But no matter how sophisticated a crossbow is, at its heart it’s basically a bow. Similarly, a bow is basically a spring.
