Centerpoint Hellion 400 for $369.99 worth it?

I’m an FFL and one of my distributors had a sale on CP hellion 400. I know absolutely nothing about crossbows. I’ve only hunted with compound bows prior to this but I’m mainly a gun guy. Decent price? Should I, can I upgrade any components to improve the performance?

My rabbit hunting setup is finally ready to go

Pistol crossbow upgraded with a red dot sight and the arm from a Vlad Steambow that is sold as 90 lbs but I was assured by someone on here that they commonly test out at more like 115. Along with that I have 15 inch normal diameter crossbow bolts and fixed 2 blade broadheads to match the 2 vaned bolts.

I am new to hunting, and disabled in ways that makes a crossbow much more feasible than my regular bow out in the field. I have a larger crossbow that I might try to use for turkey later on, but it would obliterate a rabbit. All my research said that a mini crossbow bolt wasn't enough to guarantee an ethical kill though, so here I am.

Safe to shoot?

I have this Jag 2 pro crossbow, theres no more than 100 bolts shot using it in total, but I just noticed this little chip on the string guard. Is it safe to shoot? Or should I replace the string.

How should I clean this vintage crossbow?

Bought Murphy’s Oil soap for it but I’m scared. You can tell the bow was finished at one point but there are a lot of scuffs and scratches. It’s very dirty though. What should I do?
