It is amazing how many posts here are proclaiming the virtues of these bows and urging other readers to get one. You are the first person I know who has come across these faults and posted about it. Do the other bows out there get used enough for these faults to develop? For a prepper scenario what is needed is a quality reliable constructed item. much of what I see for sale is sub standard and not made to last. This is a real concern. Regards, TL.

The Cobras and Wildcats are fine they have fired hundreds of bolts each without trouble, its only the much lower quality of the Taipan than fails.

You plan on replacing it with a compound bow that costs $200 u.s.

?????

For $200 u.s. you can buy a fairly good crossbow, or an excellent second hand compound..

Would you replace a 9mm sig with an AR15 for close quarters work?, no I thought not the Pistol bows and carbines are tasked with close quarters stuff so a rifle bow is not suitable.

My Compound bows cost $80 I bulk buy and use and throw them when they go wrong, so far they have not gone wrong and they get a lot of use.
