Just got my crossbow back from the archery dealer and a new scope later its fine but BEWARE no more barnetts for me, i went 10 yrs with them and had nothing but good to say etc but now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lol no return calls no emails they left me high and dry, and this is what i get. So in the near future it will be and excaliber or horton. Sorry barnett but you failed on my end. Take my advise its not fun to be stuck with a bow that wont work.

Well, I think I am done with Barnett bows. Still waiting to hear back about my Revolutiion that Barnett has had in for replacement. I figured they deserved a chance to make right. So I am patient and waite to see the outcome. But I bought a second Revolution so that I would have at least one for the opener! I figured I would give it to my son to use if I got the other one back in time. Anyway I shot the new one 3 times before the serving cut. Seems the scope mount, trigger assembly has 2 very sharp corners that slices the serving upon firing. I filed the edges down and reserved the string. Shot it 30 or 40 times and all looked good on the new serving Then I noticed that the serving was cut and unwinding at both ends where the edge of the served string rides in the pullies. I also noticed that the servings on the cables were seperating and sliding down the cables. I like the bows. But I don't like crap that I can't depend on.

I have, he did, and as I said, till they impress me they are not one of the brands that I will sell. I have no problem if they clean up their act, but they still seem to be the "cheep bow" they always were...
