Thanks for the info and links. I was waiting to order the Recruit when I got as much of the needed items rounded up as I could. So, I don't have the manual yet. Hopefully there's one included.
Just checked online and found the Recruit Compound and a few of those "Give your credit card and you can have it" sites but no Recurve. All Barnett had was a Universal crossbow guide and a couple of Recurve diagrams. I tried twice to get them on the phone - nada.
I wonder if this is a sign about Barnett and their products. It's hard to know.
I'll check out those links you gave me.
thanks again
