My wife bought me a new ten point crossbow for father's day, and my son's both got Barnett crossbows. I've recently taken two hogs with mine and both kills were quick and had been worried about that . Both Barnett and ten point grouped arrows very well , Barnetts louder,and one of my son's had a really cheap scope on it,so look at them and compare- he will love it, I really enjoy mine, God bless and be safe
