I know a guy that bought this crossbow this summer and had to return it after 1 month of shooting. The split limbs are splitall the way to the end and the limbs basically pulled out of the pockets as he was shooting it. After a while it poped all the way out.

If I were you, I would mark the limb and the pocket just to make sure they aren't moving on you. This guy got very lucky that he or the people that were with him did not get hurt. Parts were flying everywhere!!

My father also bought a differnt model of Barnett last year and ended up sending it back for a new one and then returned it once more for his Horton. He is much happier with his Horton.
