I also started out with a Barnett Revolution. It was retired after one year of use. Sold it to a friend and shorty there after a limb cracked. Barnett is willing to fix or repair. You get what you pay for.

I definatly upgraded to a Excal. I like it 100% more then the Barnett.

My recomendation is tospend a little more and get a better quality xbow.
