The tread machined into the back pockets of the limbs makes for a comfortable foothold as opposed to a stirrup. There is also a satisfying ‘click’ when the unit is fully cocked, meaning you never have to wonder if it is fully engaged. The underside location of it ensures there is no chance of the string hooks riding over the rail. The PCC, or Positive Cocking Control, provides a deep rope groove to secure the rope when cocking. The MXB-360 was quite easy and smooth to cock. It really sounds more like a vertical bow than a crossbow. There is a very muted ‘thud’ when firing as opposed to the sharp ‘snap’ so often associated with crossbows. The 360 is one of the quietest crossbows we have tested in quite some while.
Fixed broadheads could potentially hang or ride up when fired yielding a loss of accuracy at best…let’s not think about worst! How Quiet is the MXB-360 This means the crossbow is always pointed down and away from you…a much safer scenario than having it pointing at you! One potential drawback is that, due to the rail design, you really need to use mechanical broadheads. One feature I really like is that, since the 360 doesn’t have a stirrup, you attach a rope to the buttstock when raising or lowering from a tree stand. Its lighter weight will keep you from tiring while holding it, even if you need to have it shouldered for a prolonged period while a shot presents itself. The MXB-360 is set to excel as a hunting crossbow. It is very important to understand how a new crossbow is going to perform in the field under real world conditions. The forearm design does a nice job of keeping your hands and fingers away from the rail. This is something you may need to think about each time if you use more than one crossbow, but will quickly become habit if this is your primary crossbow. Its anti-dry fire system offers an added level of assurance but you must remember to manually engage the safety after cocking the crossbow. The MXB-360 utilizes a skeletonized stock and rail to reduce weight. See our Crossbow Ballistics Guides section for a complete understanding of how we conducted our tests and why this data matters. Your actual results will vary slightly depending on weather, and significantly with arrow weight change. Use our arrow ballistics calculator for more valuable information.
This should be plenty of punch for just about anything you might want to hunt. The MXB-360 brings some serious power to bear with speeds up to 360 fps. Note: Mission MXB-360 held a spot on our best crossbow list between February 2014 and October 2016. The optics are discussed in more detail in the Optics section of the review. The difference in each package revolves around the quiver (a Bohning Lynx quiver on the Beginner package and a Mission MX3 quiver for the other three package levels) as well as the quality of the optics supplied. All four include a nylon case, scope, 3 custom weighted bolts, and a quiver. There are four package levels offered by Mission: the Beginner, the Basic, the Hunter and the Pro. The Mission MXB-360 comes preassembled in an included soft nylon pouch that makes it much easier to keep your gear together. Crossbow Academy: ballistics, sighting, tuning
