Hi All,
Newbie here from Colorado. I am looking at a San Marino Crossbow brand new in the box that was purchased through a Military Base Exchange back in 1980. All I know is it has a wooden stock and a Black re-curve bow. Label says it's a 150 lb draw, and was made in Italy. It has a foot stirrup and regular sights and no scope. I am going to take a look at it this morning. Any info on this bow would be greatly appreciated. The current owner never took the time to even take it out of the box. Thanks for your response

Thanks friend. I am in my sixties and will admit I have made my share of stupid moves with bows as well as firearms. 
I have dry fired a crossbow before; albeit a much smaller/much lighter draw bow. I intend to do a lot of (empty) practice with this bow. Even holding it for the first time yesterday, I was quite intimidated. Fortunately for me, this bow has the anti-dry fire mechanism installed. Not to say it can't be overridden or bypassed. I'm sure if it can be done I'll figure out a stupid way to do it. I shall toy with this weapon a lot before a bolt is ever laid upon it. I truly appreciate the advice.
