Default Barnett Rhino help

Hey there,

I got this Crossbow from a friend and know very little about it. All it says is Barnett Rhino on it and I'm guessing its fairly old since I can't seem to find out anything about it/ like it online. I know very little jargon or of the mechanics of crossbows and need help fixing this..

As you can see in the picture there is a small piece that broke off of the rail. I was wondering if

1. Anyone knows where to get a replacement piece so I can actually get this thing shooting and functional... and

2. Is there any way that I can mount the Barnett Red dot that I got for it, the rail is set up for a scope mount and is too small for my red dot..


Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Mike

OK well where the mount attaches to the actual bow is broken. The piece snapped off and now the trigger mechanism and scope mount won't stay in place. Every time I shoot it the trigger mech pops up and the scope mount is shaky as hell..

Hope this helps, let me know if you need any more info on the problem.

Thanks,

Mike
