Maybe I need to mow $450 worth of lawns this summer.If a survival situation ever arises, you will need a few basic things to stay alive – food, water, shelter, and protection. It’d probably do OK for possums and frogs, too. With the bowfishing setup, I think it’d be a hell of a lot of fun for shooting carp, and wouldn’t take up much room in the boat. Do I think it’d be a practical hunting tool? Probably not (though as best as I can tell, it would be legal here in Kentucky or Texas, but not in Illinois or New York). I’ve not had the chance to use either one, but I have requested a sample of the Bat Reverse to review. The Bat Reverse should be very handy for bowfishing. The Bat is 2.46 pounds, and the Bat Reverse is 3 pounds. Both pistols are just 5 inches wide, axle to axle, when cocked, but the Bat Reverse is an inch wider at rest (9 inches axle to axle). In the case of these pistols, the power strokes measure 7 inches and 8.5 inches for the Bat and Bat Reverse, respectively. Seems to me you’d want to spring for the Bat Reverse, which provides the benefit of a longer power stroke in a comparably sized package.įull-sized, reverse-draw crossbows usually have power strokes of 14 to 17 inches. There are actually two models of the Ballista Bat Reverse Draw: The standard Bat has forward-facing limbs and is a little less expensive, but is also 90 feet per second slower. Sixteen-inch bowfishing arrows are also available, in a 3-pack, for about $40 (far less than you’d pay for three standard bowfishing arrows). It can be used with practice bolts or Ballista Sting bolts, which are 13-inch, 400-spine carbon shafts with threaded inserts for broadheads. The bow also has standard picatinny rails for mounting optics and accessories (including a bowfishing reel) and a folding foregrip. Cocking the Ballista Bat Reverse Draw Crossbow. The cocking device looks cool, too, as it is integrated into the barrel and relies on a pulley system that keeps the force required to cock the bow to just 50 pounds and has a built-in self-retracting cord tensioner. That’s as fast or faster than most full-length crossbows. When I first saw the Ballista Bat Reverse Draw crossbow pistol sitting alongside the other submissions for Best New Product of the 2023 ATA Show, I thought, “The makers of this thing grew up in the ’90s and have a great sense of humor.” But then I handled it, and noted that it seems to be well-built with an advanced limb-and-cam system, and that with a 150-pound draw weight, it’ll shoot a reported 420 feet per second. Ballista First Look at the Ballista Bat Reverse Draw The Bat Reverse weighs just 3 pounds and measure only 5 inches from axle to axle when cocked. I’d have used it to shoot possums and frogs (and kept it handy in case of vampires). And I’ll tell you what else: Back in 1996, when I had braces and a bowl haircut, I’d have saved every nickel I made mowing lawns to buy one for myself. But it would’ve been one of the weapons, had it been available back in 1996.

In addition to condoms filled with Holy Water and a jackhammer tipped with a wooden stake, one of the weapons found in that back room was the Ballista Bat Reverse Draw crossbow pistol. Clooney and his hostages escaped to a hidden room in the back of the bar, where they found a cache of weapons large enough to fight off the vampire horde until sunrise-at which point some of them were saved by a drug cartel led by Cheech Marin. The duo took an innocent family hostage and overnighted at a strip bar, where, after Salma Hayek finished dancing with an albino python, a gun fight broke out and all the exotic dancers turned into vampires. In George Clooney’s last good movie, he played a murderous bank robber who had been busted out of prison by his deviant brother (Quentin Tarantino).
