I have a barnett and have never had any issues with it. I purchased it on line through a guy at http://astore.amazon.com/huntincabin-20. It was a complete package and am looking to up grade now to an Excalibur Axiom SMF he has with scope. bolts, broad heads, and quiver for around $480. I bought my 12 year daughter a Arrow Precision Inferno Fury Crossbow Kit (175-Pounds) 3-dot multi range red dot, quick detach quiver with 4 arrows, padded shoulder sling, adjustable weaver style scope mount, and an ambidextrous auto safety. All that for $164.00 and its been great for her.
