my honest opinion from my experience is the barnetts are fine if you plan on dialing them in and ONLY hunting with them.the cables wear extremly quick and the quality of them is very poor.i had the wildcat c5 06 model and the cables would look like crap after about 5-10.i waxed the wizz out of them aftre evry 5 shots,nothing seemed to help.it was fast and accurate but did not fit my style because i like to shoot alot and i saw i wasnt gonna get lots of use out of the barnett so i traded it for a legend.i couldnt tell you how many shots ive took with it and still going strong and looking great
