How bad are Barnett crossbows?

[Huntr2]

Something lets loose and causing damage. Barnett has come a long way. I have said they are changing the way they do things and it seems they have.

I really like my Barnett Quad 400, it's the first crossbow I've ever owned but it seems like an excellent crossbow besides the weight. It shoots fast 345 fps, it's decently accurate and it hasn't taken a **** on me yet.

I have a barnett and have never had any issues with it. I purchased it on line through a guy at http://astore.amazon.com/huntincabin-20. It was a complete package and am looking to up grade now to an Excalibur Axiom SMF he has with scope. bolts, broad heads, and quiver for around $480. I bought my 12 year daughter a Arrow Precision Inferno Fury Crossbow Kit (175-Pounds) 3-dot multi range red dot, quick detach quiver with 4 arrows, padded shoulder sling, adjustable weaver style scope mount, and an ambidextrous auto safety. All that for $164.00 and its been great for her.
