MK-400 - a crossbow, which caused a real sensation among fans of traditional hunting and ordinary fans of sports target shooting. The successful implementation of the block mechanism, the presence of soft descent, a system of stabilizers and vibration dampers - all this allows even inexperienced users to cope with weapons without special problems. Another obvious advantage of the presented model is the relatively low cost available to the main consumer audience.
Characteristics
The MK-400 crossbow is distinguished by the following technical parameters:
- initial boom speed at departure - 110 m / s;
- tension - 43 kg / cm;
- boom length - 20 inches;
- bowstring stroke - 38 cm;
- total body length - 83 cm;
- width - 58 cm;
- weight as standard without cover - 3.6 kg.
Design Features
Block crossbow MK-400 in appearance is largely similar to recursive models. The design is also somewhat reminiscent of old crossbows. However, it contains many auxiliary elements characteristic of expensive weapons.
MK-400 - a crossbow, which is equipped with a pistol grip. To stabilize weapons and improve ease of use, the design provides a butt covered with rubberized material. The specified solution reduces the sliding effect and makes it possible to produce accurate shooting in conditions of high humidity.
Light weight and compact dimensions make the model easy to transport if you need long-term tracking of production and pedestrian crossings over long distances. The system contains reliable components that protect the user from firing random shots. The presence of an unstretched, high-strength bowstring opens the opportunity to maintain a crossbow in a charged, fighting condition for several hours.
destructive force
MK-400 - a crossbow, which is characterized by the strength of the bowstring, equal to about 43 kg / cm. Starting boom departure speed is about 110 m / s. For classic weapons of a block type, these indicators are considered simply excellent.
The presented model provides an opportunity for modification. If desired, standard factory arcs can be replaced with accessories that will allow you to achieve a power of more than 70 kg / s when pulling the bowstring. Thus, the flight speed of the boom will increase to 120-135 m / s.
At what distance is the MK-400 Crossbow capable of hitting prey? Feedback from users who have already managed to test the presented model in action, indicate the possibility of effective shooting from a distance of about 80 meters. However, hunting with a crossbow is so attractive for fishing enthusiasts precisely because of the need for noiseless creeping up to the target and firing from a fairly close range.
Materials of manufacture
If a block bow may seem like a fanciful weapon to lovers of traditional hunting, the MK-400 crossbow does not contain anything superfluous and therefore inspires confidence from the first meeting. Chic black color gives the impression of a formidable weapon. In fact, the weapon really is such, since all the parts here are made of high-tech carbon fiber and reliable titanium alloys.
As a basis for the manufacture of a bowstring, a heavy-duty polymer thread is used. According to reviews, the material can easily withstand up to 7 thousand tensions. As a result, users do not have to worry about the sudden rupture of the bowstring during the shot.
Crossbow MK-400: price
Experienced hunters often have to lay out hundreds of thousands of rubles for professional crossbows of eminent brands. MK-400 - a crossbow, the cost of which in the domestic market starts at about 18,000 rubles. As practice shows, the model’s capabilities are quite sufficient for the production of a sufficiently large fur-bearing animal.
Equipment
Like any modern block bow, the MK-400 crossbow is equipped with a system of vibration dampers and stabilizers. The latter contribute to the production of truly silent shots. This feature becomes simply indispensable for hunters who prefer to track prey from an ambush. Since in case of a miss in this situation, it is often necessary to quickly perform repeated shots.
The model is equipped with a protective mechanism, which allows to exclude idling. The use of this design solution makes it possible not only to increase the safety of operation of the weapon, but also to avoid damage to the bowstring in the absence of an arrow in the weapon channel.
Operational Features
The MK-400 crossbow has a reliable aluminum guide. An arrow clip is carried out due to a spring-loaded ball. The articulation of the guide and the pad contains an adapter, which plays the role of an adapter. All this contributes to a convenient stacking of the boom and ensures its adjusted reach.
Despite the rather sharp lines of the butt, the weapon, according to the hunters, is extremely comfortable to hold at the shoulder cocked. In this case, for accurate guidance on the target, the user does not have to reach for the eyepiece of the sight.
Between the butt and the crossbow handle there is a technological protrusion implemented in the design for the tensioner hook. The latter is characterized by a slight modification in the form of specific lateral protrusions. This solution helps to protect the guide from damage by the tensioner functional blocks.
Finally
Fans of fishing who are not familiar with traditional hunting, where bows and crossbows are used, block weapons are associated with a bulky, awkward and rather heavy device. However, in reality, the MK-400 crossbow proves to be a functional, ergonomic and fairly light tool for tracking medium and large sizes.
In a fully equipped condition with a cover, the weight of the presented model is no more than 4 kg. By hanging the crossbow on your shoulder, you can completely forget about the existence of weapons during long transitions until the start of shooting.
