Hey MontyMarks,
You are most likely not going to like this but I personally love the performance out of a Nerf Crossbolt out of box or slightly modded.
All you have to do to mod is don't put in the bow arms before starting the mod, take out the locks, tighten the string, and bam 90ft or more blaster for little to no effort at all
That is just my 2 cent though
