Xccal from what I've read there are a lot of dissatisfied customers with Barnett crossbows. Most say their quality sucks to put it bluntly. Now I'm not saying they're the best but for the money I don't think you can beat the Canter Point 370 Sniper. But don't take my word for it. Do some research on line and read reviews and watch some videos. I have one and I really like it. I got mine after my friend got one. After getting mine I sold my Excalibur.
