yes sir. fine for target pratice. no good for hunting, not enough energy.Thats the one I started off with.I found out quick they arn't for hunters.

go with a quad 400 and you will be fine.

JMHO. (some will disagree with me ; but there wrong) LOL

I am shooting a Quad 400 and have had great success with this in the
field,four deer,a coyote,and a bobcat.I have about 500 shots thru her
and she seems to be doing fine,a little rocky at the start,but it was my
fault not the bows,folks here have been a great help to me and hope
they it is really appreciated,good luck on your choice.

I will be honest with you i shot a barnett years ago and they use to be a good bow but since then they have went down hill and they cannot even stand up against the other companys like Exalibar and PSE and so on.

Barnett is closed now and there are rumors of bankrupsy, so you might not be able to get parts.

I've been shooting a Quad 300 for the past four years and have had great success with it.

Don't know if they are yet! Still no answer on the phone. Still love my quad 400. Will treat it like my Ford F150. Even though the warranty was up 3000 miles ago, I will still drive it till I have to lift the radiator cap and drive a new one under it
