if you want a recurve crossbow,m why not buy from another maker if you seem to have issue's with barnett, several others make them\
and honestly WHY are you set on a recurve bow any how
the advantages IMO,. of a compound x bow with its narrower limb design, is way more user friendly!
and you should never IMO< be buying parts and add on's to a BOW you don;t even have, as if you fail to get one, the parts will all be wasted funds, as you will never get back what you paid for them?
and no offence, but if I was buying a recurve X bow, I'd be looking at, Excalibur Crossbows, they been in the game a LONG time, great reputation and history of good customer service!
