How bad are Barnett crossbows?
#32
Barnettxbows: I have a couple of questions. Why do Barnett crossbows break, fall apart, self destruct, etc, etc? Why do they have only a 1 year limited warranty? Why do the "new and improved" models continue to break risers and have other problems after supposedly being "re-engineered?
Last question; Why does Barnett continue to make and sell such junk?

Why would I waste my time calling them when I have never gotten any satisfaction before?? I'd much rather he answer my questions publicly so everyone can read whatever BS he says. I all ready know what the TRUE answers are, curious to see what kind of propaganda Barnett has to say!

buck commander
I bought my first crossbow, a barnett buck commander on friday, 9-17-10, and shot it on tuesday to sight it in. On the 15th shot the orange serving string broke. I know I'm new to this but i would think the string would be more durable. I followed the instructions about waxing the string after every 5 shots and waxed the flight rail, too. I'm going to call Barnett in the morning to see if theres a problem that they can fix otherwise bass pro shop where i bought said that they would exchange it for another crossbow.

well i guess Coyote has used Barnett bows ? or is he passing long hear say. i personally own two Barnett crossbows and they shoot very well... many times, they are accurate, and fast, but what do i know i only have two of them. and i don't try to keep up with the jones, i use what works without attempting to break the bank.

i am sorry but i don't understand why you guys bash something you don't know what your talking about. Barnett makes good bow or they would not be in business much more than a week. they have a 5 year warranty, i bought two of their crossbows and have shot them a lot with NO breakage, or Issues. course i don't abuse my equipment, and therefore don't have problems. the bows are just as accurate and just as fast if not faster than the 1200.00 tenpoint bows. matter of fact i can buy and have bought two crossbows for less than what one of those bows cost, and the Jackals will probably outshoot the tenpoint banker bow.
oh well.... i sure you are even a scent lock wearers too...
