Historical Traveler Reviews Pier House Resort and Spa Key West
What a disappointment
My husband and I booked a standard room at the Pier House. Now I know why there are no standard rooms shown on the web site. The decore was painted cinder block walls. I requested another room, and was kindly accommodated with an upgrade. This room was much larger, but the tiny bathroom was the same as the standard room. For the prices charged here, the bathrooms should be bigger, updated and plusher. There was an ancient fan in the bathroom that just circulated (not vented) the air.
The spa was a disappointment. Nowhere is it stated there's a $10.75 fee for clients of the hotel to use the exercise room and hot tub. You find that out as you're about to work out!
A place to relax
After reading the mixed reviews, I was hesitant about our reservations I had made at the Pier House. But when we arrived I was immediately pleased. The Pier House is very conveniently located yet secluded from the hustle and bustle of Duval. My husband and I were there for 5 days celebrating our anniversary and we had a great time. We stayed in a Carribean Spa room, which was very nice and very clean. I am what my husband calls "a princess" when it comes to staying in hotels, but in this room I could relax and enjoy myself. (Chances are if you are reading this you are too.) The rooms are decorated in a kind of formal carribean style with hardwood floors. French doors lead to a small patio or balcony, and we had a jacuzzi tub. Spa services were excellent and since we were inside the spa building we enjoyed the aromatherapy as well walking to our room. Staff is very friendly and willing to accomodate you. The Pier House was a wonderful choice as far as comfort and location. We were very pleased. It is a bit pricey, but we didnt have to rent a scooter or take a taxi anywhere, which saved us $50/day.
The "beach" they show in their ad is a bit misleading, they do have white sand and water but it is actually only about 50 feet wide. Oh and there is a topless part of their tanning area they call the beach, but it is in no way secluded. (Key West is not really known for their beaches anyway!) If you want beach rent a villa from the Hilton on Sunset Key, if you want to experience some history of Key West, visit the Pier House! I wouldnt recommend bringing the kids though.
No elevators! Arrived with a wheelchair and found out they did not have elevators. Luckily they were able to switch a room and we got a room on the first floor. Loud air conditioner. We could not direct the air flow out of the air conditioner so it blew on the bed all night. Small bathroom, though there was a dressing area outside of the actual bathroom. Shower nozzle squirited water all over the floor. Beautiful pool and property.
Pier House Rules!!
Spent our honeymoon at the Pier House (September 27 to October 1) and had a wonderful time. The grounds are beautiful, the private beach is the best on that side of the island, and the pool and jacuzzi are open 24 hours. (The beach at the Hyatt has room for about two chairs and Ocean Key and Hilton don't have a beach at all). The Pier House staff was great and gave us an upgrade upon check-in. Our room was a bit dated (though very clean), but the view was great and the price was right. Admittedly, we paid an off-season rate and I might be a bit reluctant to stay anywhere on this side of the island when the rates soar to $300+/night for a standard room. The location is perfect and unlike the Hilton and Ocean Key Resort, the likeliness of a cruise ship blocking your sunset view is small since the Pier House sits down a bit from where the ships normally dock. Just to clear up something I read in prior review - cruise ships are NO LONGER required to leave the docks at 6:00 PM. They now can stay until 11:30, which happended twice during our stay. So paying a high price for an ocean view room at any of these resorts might be a waste of money. Besides, there are plenty of places (including the Sunset Deck at the Pier House) where you can have a meal, a drink,talk to some of the locals, and enjoy the sunset.
Those I saw sitting on their balconies certainly were not having as much fun as the rest of us. All in all I would highly recommend this property. If you have any questions, need advice, drop me an email.
A Very Nice Experience
My wife and I stayed at the Pier House and enjoyed the facility very much. You can't beat the location - in the midst of everything. Yes the room did have some things that needed attention in respect to wear and tear, but overal the room was excellent. A little pricey but you have to book Habour Front King in order to appreciate the location view. The mini-bar items were somewhat expensive. My wife had a massage from the Spa in the room overlooking the ocean and you could't ask for more. The Spa attendant was professional and very friendly. The staff was very friendly and professional as well. We booked this hotel during the main hurricaine season and considering the odds, we beat them an enjoyed a very expensive vacation for half the normal price. I don't think I would pay the premium price ($400+) during the peak season for this room unless you have money to blow. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this hotel during the non-peak season.
PS - If you really want to experience an unbelievable room - check out "The Grove Club and Resort" in Miami - it costs less and is very luxurious. A definite private romance hotel.
Loved Pier House!!
Wonderful hotel/resort! The hotel grounds are beautiful (tropical plants, romantic niche, well kept beach area...). The staff were very pleasant and helpful (keep your door bolted though, the housekeeping staff isn't very tactful when it comes to knocking and "waiting" for a response). The hotel is in an excellent location. We stayed in the "standard room" and it was very spacious and beautifully furnished. I highly recommend this hotel and enjoyed every bit of my stay in Key West!
The worst experience in paradise!
This old, overpriced resort was nothing special. Our air conditioner did not cool the room and was extremely noisy. Spent $350 for our small room and still they wanted $10 PER DAY to use the gym (which didn't have a TV, by the way). The bed was comfortable but the room was not pleasant. Don't be fooled by the balcony (it's only two feet wide by three feet long).
We left and moved to the Hilton (which is in the same general area and much cheaper).
Loved the Pier House
This was my 3rd stay and I can't say enough good things about the Pier House. Stayed in "Harbour View". Great staff, restaurants, beach and is close to everything. It's the only place to stay in Key West.
Forget the Pink Taxis, and Indulge for a Change
Having already visited this quaint little island at least twenty times before, and having previously stayed at its Hampton Inns, EconoLodges and Quality Inns, we decided this year to splurge a little and go top-shelf at one of the pricey resorts in Old Town. We weren't dissappointed. While the Pier House commands more of your hard-earned dollars than any of the budget hotels on Roosevelt Blvd, it's a well-appointed place that is both secluded from the chaos of Duval Street, and yet at the same time accessible to all of the fun. We found that our nightly savings on cab fare alone was by itself worth the extra cost of staying at this first-class resort.Our party was spread out among the facility, and we were able to sample every type of room, from the standard, and yet well-appointed no-frills double, to the luxurious Caribbean Spa suite, to the Harbour Front "room with a view" (and yes, the sunset was worth the price from our own balcony.) The layout and landscaping of the place is pleasing to the eye, the restaurants were all top-notch, and the staff was friendly and helpful, and genuinely concerned about our having a good time. Which we did, from start to finish.I've already booked our next vacation there, and we're looking forward to our new home away from home in the keys. It's a wonderful place to kick back, relax, and get away from it all.
Great corner room with two balconies
I stayed at The Pier House last Christmas-New Years Week. I had a great room, private balcony covered with foilage facing the pool and ocean and a balcony facing the front door. It is a first class resort. It has a private beach with a very nice bar out by the beach. I am looking forward to returning to The Pier House soon.Patricia

Mercury Rev
Leaving the Flaming Lips on the cusp of commercial success only to rejoin Mercury Rev — a group he was a part of in the late '80s — may have, in retrospect, seemed like a career blunder for Jonathan Donahue. That move, however, has resulted in some of the most artistically ambitious and breathtakingly beautiful music of the last two decades. Deserter's Songs made Rev a star in Europe and is considered the band's high-water mark. Nonetheless, its latest pair of offerings, Snowflake Midnight and Strange Attractor, showcase a group able to make blissful introspective moments soar with a heady grandeur. Although a notoriously inconsistent live act, at its best Rev is an unexpectedly forceful presence that will sweep you up in its otherworldly embrace on flights of fancy through musical journeys worthy of the imaginations of Edmund Spenser and Lord Dunsany.

Calif. appeals concealed weapons ruling
California's attorney general on Thursday appealed a federal court decision that overturned San Diego County's concealed weapons restrictions
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California's attorney general on Thursday appealed a federal court decision that overturned San Diego County's concealed weapons restrictions.
Kamala D. Harris asked the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a decision made by a three-judge panel of the court on Feb. 13.
That panel struck down requirements by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department that applicants for concealed weapons permits must show "good cause," such as working in a dangerous job.
The appellate panel, in a 2-1 ruling, said that requirement violates the constitutional Second Amendment right to bear arms.
State law requires applicants to show good moral character, have good cause and take a training course. It's generally up to the state's sheriffs and police chiefs to issue the permits, and the vast majority requires an applicant to demonstrate a real danger or other reasons beyond simple self-defense to receive a permit.
The San Francisco-based panel said those requirements were too strict and ran afoul of a 5-4 landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2008 that struck down a Washington, D.C., handgun ban and said law-abiding citizens are allowed to have handguns in their home for self-defense.
San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore had said he wouldn't appeal the decision but Harris said there was a safety issue at stake.
"Local law enforcement must be able to use their discretion to determine who can carry a concealed weapon," she said in a statement. "I will do everything possible to restore law enforcement's authority to protect public safety."

kenpachi from bleach! that guy loves fighting, he'll have so much fun in gantz
People from Resident Evil. Ya'know, like Chris/Jill/Claire/Leon. They deal with shit like in Gantz all the time, and they're human too.
Gats is definetly a good choice, and he would pwn anyone, from any other manga or anime series, he fights gods and demons 24/7 although kenpachi might give him some worth for his time
i think a good addition to Gantz would be Raito from DeathNote, he s not precisely strong or anything, but he could kill anyone with his intelligence, he would know the insides and outs of all Gantz within the first mission, even more than hiroya oku himself
I'm sure Gatts would have had the time of his life if he had gone up against the Oni Boss.
I gotta say this since it's part of nickname. I think Vicious from Cowboy Beebop would be cool because he's sadistic and he knows how to handle a sword and apparently only Spike can kill him.
what about that chick (forgot her names, sorry) from black lagoon?, she seem tough enough to be a gantzer, plus she is hot!
and how bout Mcgyver? (its a very, very old tv series, in case nobody here remember), do u guys think he has a chance to survive gantz?
btw, Guts is waaaay to much for the alien.
I like Gutts and Raito in gantz hahahaha
how about
chiba (beck)
train (black cat)
shinji (battle royale)
hell with that strange vehicle Kei used I could even see some of the initial d guys making it in... most likely keisuke
I'd like to see;
Chuck Norris
David Hasslehoff
The Hobbits from LOTR
And WWE Wrestlers like Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio and The Undertaker

Lennon remarks spark election call
A former Labor Premier's analysis of Tasmania's economy has triggered another Opposition call for an early election.
The Premier's political mentor, Paul Lennon, has told a newspaper that state and federal minority governments are damaging Tasmania.
It propelled the Opposition Leader, Will Hodgman, to again call for an early election.
"Even former Labor Premiers are publicly saying that your minority government is pulling Tasmania apart," he said.
The Premier, Lara Giddings, rejected the call.
"When it comes to minority government we have accepted the will of the people," she said.
"We are determined to see this Government through and provide the stability this state needs at a very critical time."
She accused the Opposition of ignoring Mr Lennon's assertion that the high Australian dollar was causing damage to the economy.
"We always have the head in the sand approach."
Mr Lennon's call for an urgent increase in the size of Parliament caught the attention of the Greens leader, Nick McKim.
"This is a significant change of position from one of the senior architects of the undemocratic cut in numbers," he said.
The Government says restoring MP numbers is not a priority.

Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Implementation and Lessons Learned is the fourth title in the IVHM series published by SAE International. This new book introduces a variety of case studies, lessons learned, and insights on what it really means to develop, implement, or manage an integrated system of systems. Integrated Vehicle Health Management: Implementation and Lessons Learned brings to the reader a wide set of hands-on stories, made possible by the contribution of twenty-three authors, who agreed to share their experience and wisdom on how new technologies are developed and put to work. This effort was again coordinated by Dr. Ian K. Jennions, Director of the IVHM Centre at Cranfield University (UK), and editor of the previous books in the series.
The new Bosch Automotive Handbook , now in its 9th English edition, has been completely revised and enhanced to include the most recent developments in automotive technology. About 200 specialist authors contributed to this new version of every engineer's must-have reference. The book's format has been revised: it is now 20 percent longer and wider, as this allows for a larger font size. This makes the texts and graphics easier to read. The index has been strongly expanded to make looking up technical terms easier. The Bosch Automotive Handbook is a best-seller, with a broad global readership. Students of engineering programs consult it, as do researchers and engineers in the automotive industry. Mechanics who are studying to become master craftsmen also use it as a reference work. Experts trust the well-founded and extensive expertise that can be found in the classic. The Bosch Automotive Handbook is widely regarded around the world as a standard work for automotive technology.
Ethernet, the most widely-used local area networking technology in the world, is moving from the server rooms of automobile manufacturers to their vehicles. As the quantity and variety of electronic devices in cars continues to grow, Ethernet promises to improve performance and enable increasingly powerful and useful applications in vehicles. Automotive Ethernet – The Definitive Guide explains how industry-standard Ethernet technology has been adapted via Broadcom's new BroadR-Reach® standard to bring Ethernet hardware, and applications that run upon it, to the automotive world.
Electronic parts are used throughout industry to run everyday products, such as cell phones, and also highly technical products, such as aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. Unlike cell phones, which are often replaced every year, the highly technical products may remain in service from 20 to more than 80 years. But what happens if the original electronic part, with a life cycle of 18 months, is no longer available? Some manufacturers have discovered that they have unwittingly purchased counterfeit ones. Counterfeit Electronic Parts and Their Impact on Supply Chains examines how these items are negatively affecting the aviation, spacecraft, and defense sectors and what can be done about it.
LEDs are now acknowledged as the mainstream standard light source of what might reasonably be called 'the future already in progress'. Their small size, powerful light emission, extreme reliability, low energy requirement and long lifespan mean that LEDs continue to make quick inroads in automotive sectors governed by cost and performance demands alike. Indeed, since the last edition of this report was published in 2010, the sector has continued to witness a blistering rate of innovation, and LEDs have now broken every automotive application barrier. Nevertheless, there are other light source technologies that have sprung from LED research and development, and some are poised to supplement – or even, in certain applications, supplant them.
Half the electric vehicle market value lies in larger road vehicles, notably cars, and here the legal restrictions are weaker or non-existent, and range anxiety compels most people to buy hybrids if they go electric at all. Over eight million hybrid cars will be made in 2025, each with a range extender, the additional power source that distinguishes them from pure electric cars. Add to that significant money spent on the same devices in buses, military vehicles, boats and so on and a major new market emerges. Whereas today's range extenders usually consist of little more than off- the- shelf internal combustion engines, these are rapidly being replaced by second- generation range extenders consisting of piston engines designed from scratch for fairly constant load. However, a more radical departure is the third- generation micro turbines and fuel cells that work at constant load.
With current LED performance nearing or surpassing that of most traditional light sources, LEDs are now addressing most lighting applications (indoors, outdoors, transportation vehicles and so on), with prices coming down rapidly over the past three to five years. Advances in materials will also broaden LED consumption through improved performance. The report looks at the competing light-source technologies for automotive applications, including Halogen, HID/ Xenon, Combined HID and LED, LED technology, Organic LED (OLED) and Laser technology. It also examines the design flexibility and power savings that LEDs give designers, as well as the differing optics technology and related strict regulations. The Advanced Automotive Lighting and Vision Systems Report - 2014 Edition addresses uses for lighting in vehicles, looking at both exterior and interior applications and the unique set of challenges presented by each.
Over the years, the DARPA Challenges in the United States have galvanized interest in autonomous cars, making them a real possibility in the mind of the public, but autonomous and unmanned vehicles have been increasingly employed in many roles on land, in the water, and in the air. Military applications have received a great deal of attention, with weaponized unmanned aircraft (drones) being the most prominent. However, unmanned vehicles with varying degrees of autonomy already have many civilian applications. Some of these are quite familiar (such as the Roomba autonomous vacuum cleaner), while others remain largely out of the public eye (such as autonomous farm equipment). Additional applications and more capable vehicles are rapidly coming to the markets in the years ahead. This book examines a number of economically important areas in which unmanned and autonomous vehicles, also understood here as autonomous technologies, are already used or soon will be.
Thermal Energy Storage Technologies for Sustainability is a broad-based overview describing the most up-to-date information on latent, sensible, and thermo-chemical energy storage systems, and their applications across industries. Beginning with a discussion of the efficiency and conservation advantages of balancing energy demand with production, the book goes on to describe current state-of-the art technologies. Not stopping with description, the authors also discuss design, modeling, and simulation of representative systems, and end with several case studies of systems in use.
This 2014 edition of the Automotive Cockpits and Dashboards Report is the latest in the series of reports by Supplier Business looking at trends and developments in the vehicle cockpit space. Over time we have seen many changes in terms of the design and structure of the main modules and components that go to make up the dashboard and cockpit element of the vehicle's interior. In particular the increasing level of in-vehicle connectivity has caused interior designers to rethink the layout and content of the dashboard and center console. In this report the main trends and developments are highlighted, with particular reference to examples of the way in which the industry has responded to the challenge. The strongest influence on the vehicle's cockpit and dashboard continues to be the requirement for in-vehicle connectivity. Consumer demand for seamless connectivity between home, office and vehicle dominates the cockpit's interior design and structure.
Honda's April 2014 R&D Technical Review features cutting-edge developments from Honda's worldwide R&D teams. This edition brings 23 original papers on the introduction of new technologies covering motorcycle, power products, aircraft engine, among others. They cover advancements in the following areas: • Development of 7-speed dual clutch transmission SPORT HYBRID i-DCD • Research on engine control to make effective use of bioethanol-blend fuels • Optimization of driving force distribution control in all-wheel drive based on wheel rotation speed difference between front and rear • Robust optimization for windmill airfoil design under variable wind conditions
Managing Complexity is the first book that clearly defines the concept of Complexity, explains how Complexity can be measured and tuned, and describes the seven key features of Complex Systems: 1. Connectivity 2. Autonomy 3. Emergency 4. Non-equilibrium 5. Non-linearity 6. Self-organisation 7. Co-evolution The thesis of the book is that complexity of the environment in which we work and live offers new opportunities and that the best strategy for surviving and prospering under conditions of complexity is to develop adaptability to perpetually changing conditions. An effective method for designing adaptability into business processes using multi-agent technology is presented and illustrated by several extensive examples, including adaptive, real-time scheduling of taxis, see-going tankers, road transport, supply chains, railway trains, production processes and swarms of small space satellites.
Lithium-Ion Batteries features an in-depth description of different lithium-ion applications, including important features such as safety and reliability. This title acquaints readers with the numerous and often consumer-oriented applications of this widespread battery type. It also explores the concepts of nanostructured materials, as well as the importance of battery management systems. This handbook is an invaluable resource for electrochemical engineers and battery and fuel cell experts everywhere, from research institutions and universities to a worldwide array of professional industries. It contains all applications of consumer and industrial lithium-ion batteries, including reviews and contributions from the world's leading industry and research experts, and presents executive summaries of specific case studies.
Advances in Intelligent Vehicles presents recent advances in intelligent vehicle technologies that enhance the safety, reliability, and performance of vehicles and vehicular networks and systems. This book provides readers with up-to-date research results and cutting-edge technologies in the area of intelligent vehicles and transportation systems. Topics covered include virtual and staged testing scenarios, collision avoidance, human factors, and modeling techniques.
Software-Hardware Integration in Automotive Product Development brings together a must-read set of technical papers on one the most talked-about subjects among industry experts The carefully selected content of this book demonstrates how leading companies, universities, and organizations have developed methodologies, tools, and technologies to integrate, verify, and validate hardware and software systems. The automotive industry is no different, with the future of its product development lying in the timely integration of these chiefly electronic and mechanical systems. The integration activities cross both product type and engineering discipline boundaries to include chip-, embedded board-, and network/vehicle-level systems. Integration, verification, and validation of each of these three domains are examined in depth, attesting to the difficulties of this phase of the automotive hardware and software system life cycle.
Although the concept of Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) can be complex in its implementation, it is essentially based upon a simple idea: the more you know about a particular machine's ability to function, the quicker you can act to prevent malfunctioning. This rapidly developing area of engineering seeks to enable better management of both the vehicle and vehicle fleet health. Use of IVHM can improve vehicle reliability, safety, and reduce unnecessary, unscheduled maintenance through the use of diagnostic and prognosis systems that monitor data and overall vehicle health. From an initial idea by the SAE IVHM Steering Group, these books have been collaboratively written by experts from academia, research and industry, and represent the collective voice of the most qualified authorities in the field.
Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) is a relatively new subject, with its roots back in the space sector of the early 1990s. Although many of the papers written around that time did not refer to it as IVHM, the fundamental principles of considering an integrated end-to-end system to monitor the overall health of the asset were clearly visible. As the subject of Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) and its associated technologies have grown up, businesses are making the transformation from selling a product to selling a service. This can be viewed as a positive disruption, as a relatively small technology breakthrough is being brought to market for a large business benefit. The sequence "sense—acquire—transfer—analyze—act " feeds the information (processed data) on the asset's health into the Operations or Management control center.
In automotive technology, since the first digital engine control modules were introduced in the 1980s, electronic content in vehicles has steadily increased. Today, a premium-class automobile contains around 100 million lines of software, running on 70 to 100 microprocessor-based electronic control units (ECUs) networked throughout. The electronics component value- add is estimated today at around 40% for traditional cars and 75% for electric / hybrids. According to a recent study, 60% of new cars will be connected by 2017. According to forecasts from IHS, the global market for automotive electronics is set to rise to $240 billion in 2020, up more than 50% from $157 billion in 2010, driven to new levels of prominence by regulatory and OEM safety initiatives.
The third volume in the Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) series focuses on the technology that actually supports the implementation of IVHM in real-life situations. Edited by Ian K. Jennions, Director of the IVHM Center at Cranfield University, UK, this book was written collaboratively by twenty-seven authors from industry, academia and governmental research agencies.

Arrow Precision Inferno Fury II Recurve Crossbow Package with Rope Cocker is rated out of 5 by 40.Rated 1 out of 5 by rickltp from have not been able to assemble after two weeks I have not been able to assemble this product and feel safe doing so. the instruction manual reads as if it were written by some one who failed an English as a second language course. A short video would have been helpful and inexpensive. Am considering retuning it.Date published: 2015-03-16Rated 4 out of 5 by Rombo from Overall satisfied! I am glad I read all the reviews for this bow and others like it. For the price, I am satisfied. The assembly instructions could have been better. All parts were there. The only thing I did not like is the elevation adjustment for the sight. It has wings, as that of a wing nut. When using the rope cocker at times the rope would touch the wings and change the setting. I eliminated this by cutting them off. (plastic) I then cut a grove in the knob so adjustment could be made with a coin or screwdriver. I have yet to hunt with it but I have no doubt that it can do the job.Date published: 2015-02-21Rated 5 out of 5 by MReed53 from Great bow for the price I bought this primarily as a backup to my Barnett Panzer V in advance of an upcoming public archery hunt. I spent some time comparing the Jaguar, SA-Sport and AP Inferno II packages before opting for the Inferno II; based in large part on other reviews, included accessories and the anti-dry fire mechanism. Also noted AP's website and ready availability of parts. Bow went together easily with the exception of stringing the prod. After one unsuccessful attempt I took it to a local sporting goods store and had a bow technician string it. Should also mention that I contacted AP with a question during assembly and got a very swift and helpful response.While it comes with both iron sights and a red dot I opted for the latter. It only took about half a dozen shots to sight in. Bottomline, bow is very accurate, seems to be very well built and based on penetration in my broadhead target would seem to be more than adequate for whitetail deer. Not quite as powerful as my Panzer V but still more than enough oomph if kept to reasonable crossbow ranges. Some people seem to think that means out to 75 or more yards. That is INCORRECT. Like any other archery equipment, shots should be kept under 40 yards and preferably under 30. Bolts may depart a X-bow faster than arrows leave most traditional verticals but they lose velocity much quicker. Archery hunting is a short-range proposition, which is part of the attraction. Should also mention that the included aluminum arrows struck me as very good quality contrary to some other reviewers, although I did buy Easton 20" carbons for hunting and paired them with Allen Rocky Mountain 1" broadheads, which fly to same impact as field points. All in all, very complete package and very impressive quality; especially given Sportsman's Guide's terrific price. Same bow package sells for nearly twice as much on some competing sights.Date published: 2014-12-05Rated 4 out of 5 by Will from GREAT FOR A FIRST TIMER It does what I needed, it to do. I can not recommend this product only because its my first one. I like it!Date published: 2014-12-03Rated 5 out of 5 by BowanArrow from OUTSTANDING VALUE THIS IS MY FIRST CROSSBOW. IT LOOKS GREAT AND FEELS LIGHT TO SHOOT. I THINK IT IS A GREAT DEAL FOR THE MONEY.Date published: 2014-11-21Rated 4 out of 5 by nodeerhere from Great deal for a starter crossbow I received the crossbow package as it was advertised, and have put it together and made some practice shots with it. The three dot scope did not work out at all as no matter what corrections I made, the crossbow kept shooting to the off to the right. Took the scope off and was shooting a centered 2 1/2" group using the open sights. I would like to see Arrow Precision come up with a cranking type cocking device for this bow just to make things a little easier.Date published: 2014-11-14Rated 5 out of 5 by DGallio from Christmas Gift - ???? Don't know, this is a Christmas gift... I think it's beautiful and thinking of buying one for myself...Date published: 2014-11-14Rated 5 out of 5 by BRIAN from Extremely impressed with the product. I currently own a Horton crossbow that my 12yr. old son has taken over. I wanted something that I could carry while hunting with him and something that my daughter could use on the 1 or 2 days she hunts per year. I did not want to put a lot of money into it, so I took a chance on this crossbow. The crossbow actually seems better made than the Horton and although not quite as fast it is just as accurate.Date published: 2014-04-01

 Does this crossbow come with the bow pre-strung?

Asked by: MReed53

 No, it does not.
