I have a Barnett Wildcat C5 that is the first crossbow I ever purchased. It works, does the job required of it but is a little heavy. If I was to go back and get a new one, I would probably look into the Tenpoints mentioned, they are slimmer, lighter and from shooting a buddies just feels better. Don't get me wrong I am still enjoying my crossbow and will till I decide to upgrade one year, but from just my experience I would have gone a different route if I had a do-over.
