Which is really ironic, as my late father is the formal registered inventor of the Folding Crossbow.

No, this one isn't a folding crossbow, but it does seem powerful enough to potentially be deadly. It's raining today so I'll have to wait for a good weather day and find an old used slab of wood for target practice.

It's a neat toy but the ones I've seen and the one I had were all extremely crappy quality

The string started unraveling after maybe 20-30 shots, then the plastic pieces started breaking off within a month to the point where it could no longer be used.

At most I managed to put 40 bolts through it and it fell apart
