My father, brother and I have Predators and have had NO problems. We have used them for several years now and shot them regularly. I bought my son the new Penetrator and he loves it! He has shot it about 100 times now and has had NO problems with it. We love our Barnetts and the shoot thru foot stirrup is something I think other XB companies should try to follow because it looks very aggressive. We love the performance and looks of our barnetts.
We have killed deer, wild hogs and one elk with them. My family loves barnett. I have friends who have ten points, hortons, parkers, etc... who have had problems with their bows. A crossbow is a mechanical device and can fail no matter what the brand. Pick the one that you like and would be the best XB for you. I think the Barnett Penetrator is a very good shooting quality crossbow and it looks cool too. What more could you ask for except maybe one for Christmas, huh?
