STEAMBOW AR Series – PD-5 PROFESIONAL, IN STOCK NOW!

PD-5 Repeating Crossbow – Made for the Highest Demands

The concept of our PD-5 is easy to explain: The range, penetration, and effect of a full-size repeating crossbow in the size of our compact and manageable AR-Series platform.

The result is a very compact crossbow weighing less than 2 kg, which is easy to handle and ideal for use indoors, in undergrowth, and in confined spaces. The significantly longer operating range of 50 meters is achieved by using larger arrows.

During the development of the PD-5, great emphasis was placed on ergonomics. The fastest possible target acquisition and handling that corresponds to a real firearm enable a fast, effective first hit.

Fast follow-up shots, even with high projectile energy, are easily achieved thanks to the robust quick-cocking system. The resulting leverage enables astonishing performance while still maintaining manageable cocking forces.

PD-5 Professional:

This version is optimized for use as a defense weapon or for security personnel. The main differences are the sight, limb, and included arrows.

Sight:

The PD-5 Professional is equipped with a tritium night sight from Meprolight™, which provides a clear sight image even in complete darkness.*

Limb:

The PD-5 Professional comes with our new "Protector" limb. This bow delivers an energy of just over 30 joules and an arrow speed of 235 fps with our hunting arrows. All other optional AR-Series limbs can also be used.**

Arrows

The PD-5 Professional is supplied with 5 hunting arrows. We recommend that you train with the same arrows that you use in action, as the handling and point of impact of the different arrow types differ.

Main features of the Steambow PD-5

• Fast & robust cocking mechanism

The PD-5 uses our tried and tested folding cocking system, but in a reinforced and improved form. This “reinforced tactical lower” is more robust and can now withstand significantly higher clamping forces, not least thanks to the solid cocking mechanism. The attachment of the PD-5 upper to the lower is made of stainless steel.

• Sight rail & optics

All types of optics can be mounted on the continuous Picatinny rail on the top: from small or large red dot sights to large rifle scopes. The entire rail is infinitely adjustable in angle. This means that even high-quality optics from the firearms sector can be used, which usually have a very small adjustment range.

• Unparalleled precision

The PD-5 is our most precise repeating crossbow. With stronger bows from 100 lbs and suitable optics, the practical range is around 50 meters. Of course, longer shooting distances are also possible for sporting use.

• Materials & quality

The PD-5 upper is milled from solid high-strength 7075 aircraft aluminum and has a black, glass-hard anodized surface. Parts of the PD-5 that are subject to particular stress are made of steel, such as the attachment of the upper to the lower and the two tension rods. The base body and all attachments are made of glass fiber reinforced nylon polymer with a glass content of up to 40%.

This makes the PD-5 extremely resistant to the effects of weather and mechanical stress - ideal for use in harsh conditions. All parts have a low-reflection black coating or are made of black plastic.

• Disassembly & limb change:

By pulling out a pin, the upper can be pivoted upwards and the limb removed. Furthermore, the PD-5 comes standard with our folding stock system, allowing it to be folded down to a very small size. The small pack size is perfect for storing the PD-5 in places with limited space, such as a car.

• Arrows & magazine

: The PD-5's integrated magazine holds five 7.5x220mm arrows with a variety of bullet types. We recommend using only original Steambow arrows and offer sport arrows, bodkins, and hunting arrows.

The magazine cover opens at the push of a button, allowing you to reload arrows whenever the tactical situation allows. For a fast, complete reload, we have developed speedloaders for 5 arrows.***



*Caution: Tritium sights are slightly radioactive and are not permitted for private use in some countries. Be sure to check the legal situation in your country before purchasing!

**Caution: The Protector bow has a nominal draw weight of 135 lbs, making it one of our strongest bows. Since the stored energy must be applied by the archer, a certain amount of training is required to build up the muscles needed for rapid succession of shots. The Protector bow is not suitable for beginners, weaker individuals such as children, or people with physical limitations.

***Caution: Commercially available 7.5" arrows from other manufacturers can usually also be used, however, this requires your own responsibility and may affect the reliability and performance of the PD-5. Caution is especially advised with higher draw weights, as many of these arrows have weak plastic nocks. 7.5" arrows with aluminum nocks, on the other hand, can usually be used without restrictions.
