RE: BARNETT QUAD 400
 

coyote i'm with ya, aint broke(not yet anyhow) fella told my to shoot 2216 arrows, good weight will help the DRY FIRE effect. Was suprised at trigger pull on mine was caught off quard when the first arrow was launched.

RE: BARNETT QUAD 400
 

when I got my Quad 400 they called for 2219,s Iam getting them weighed
tuesday at the gun shop!:)

RE: BARNETT QUAD 400
 

Figured I should read the book on this thing. X-bow was bought in Nov, book also call for 2216's Alum. or carbon. Will try both and see which ones I like the best. Or should I say which the bow likes the best. How do those 2219 fly?

RE: BARNETT QUAD 400
 

I have only shot the 2219's and following awshucks advice about light
arrows and being hard on the bow so am playing with fletching,etc.
they went thru the chronograph at 349 so leaving the arrow size like
it is and am wanting to try some feathers and see how they fly and
will let you know how they work out,deer season is over the 15th so will
start after the end of the hunting season!:)

RE: BARNETT QUAD 400
 

Deer season end's here next weekend. Will wait till turkey season to hunt with X-bow, want to get some time behind the string before useing it on game. Try to fiqure out the do's and don'ts...:eek:

If you don't have a scale, you can make one real easy that is far more accurate than you would believe. Take either a wooden yard stick or similar size lath, drill a small hole at 1" and 35" line. Tie a piece of string w/ alligator clip about a foot long thru each hole. Then take a stright pin w/ a foot or so of thread on it and stick the edge at approx middle [18" on yard stick] Fool w/ this until the stick hangs level. Drill a small hole for center string now that you know where center is. Use a baggie on each side to hold the weights. Below are some common items for weights.
Field tip = 100gr [or 125]
Dollar bill = 15.34 gr
Quarter =88 gr
Nickel = 76.7 gr
Penny =38 gr
Dime = 35 gr
You have to be a little inventive, lol. But by using different combinations you can get w/ in a few grains. Just remember to put a baggie on both sides if you are weighing an arrow. Have fun!!

RE: BARNETT QUAD 400
 

Do you make your own Alum. bolts or are you buying them already made?
Want to try alum. have not found them made. Only carbon

RE: BARNETT QUAD 400
 

I am thinking that I will probably have to get a crank to help me pull back my bow string. I know that they make one especially for the quad 400. Do you have to use one, or do you know anyone that does?

RE: BARNETT QUAD 400
 

mdc71177 I just got a cranker for my Quad 400 will try it Friday and let
you know how it does!I checked with Barnett and the trigger job will
void my warrenty,didnt give them my name,said I should send it back
as they dont have stiff trigger problems,I laughed ,they will make it
right for me,to late now,hehehehe!;)

RE: BARNETT QUAD 400
 

I use a rope cocker $25.00 or so. Cut's the effort about in half. coyote, like they say, sometimes easier to ask for forgivness then it is to ask for permission. Thanks for the info. Still undecided if I will shoot carbon or alum.
