Call 1-800-237-4507 and talk to their service dept.they can give you the best info on it,also if there is any recalls,etc.and what you can expect!

Barnetts are the most problematic xbow on the market. There are lots of B-nett owners that have never had a problem and may take issue w/ this, but it is common knowlege that you are more apt to have a problem w/ a B-nett than any other name brand bow.

Many years ago I started with a Barnett Wild Cat. I soon found out it wasn't up to the task over about 15 yds. P.O.S. in my opinion. Save your money and get an excalibur you wont be looking at a new set up in a few years!

Ok here it is....i've been shooting a Quad400 for 2.5 years...its given me no problems at all....i've had it revamped every year since ,i've had it...i've heard all kinda of problems with them...but yet to see it physicaly in front of my face...i called Barnett and talk to their R&D honcho and he said thier no recalls on quad400....they've had lil problems with them.... so the smart thing to do is too call them if you have any concerns on your barnett.....most of the returns to Barnett were guys dry firing them and jamming the triggers and breaking them...otherwise its a great xbow and still the fasted out there for the money.....!!!!

his own!
