I have had good luck with 2 barnetts and I did send back 1 for a problem.Great cust service ,also had a wr warrior that had to go back and good service again.Buy a crossbow from a manufacturer that has good cust service.Crossbow Nation is a great forum for strictly crossbow info,and the faster the bow the more maintenance and breakage.Kinda like a toyota camry or a maserati.300 fps will kill all the deer you want with less trouble.
