It's not about "not liking something, don't buy it". It's about facts. Plain and simple. If you would have read the whole thread pertaing to my 2 Revolutions, you would have seen that I liked the bows. That's why I bought 2 of them. After both of them going south after only a few shots each. I had enough. I wasn't going to post on this again. But your post was off base. So for those who haven't seen the NEW Barnetts, this is for you. This was durning ****ing.

wow i would hate to be shooting the p.o.s. when it let go like that!!!!:jaw:

Bottom of the line is that Barnett is cheap garbage! I am a lucky person to still be here or to be here without at least serious injury after two HORRIBLE experiences with Barnett. I paid $700 for my bow then after the cable snapped off when it was ****ed (luckily I didn't have my face againt the xbow), it did slap me in the leg but I will take that anyday compared to what the what the other outcomes were. I had to ship it back to Barnett have a retrofit performed to a new style of cableing system installed which cost another $80. Then on, I believe was, the 8th shot the riser snapped in my face with an arrow loaded as soon as I pulled the trigger. All I heard was an explosion and my life flashed before my eyes. After the shock wore off everyone at the range ran over to me to make sure I was okay and it was obvious why the bow's riser had snapped. Engineering design flaw. 90 degree angles in cast magnesium alloy. I stand here today in aww that I didn't lose an eye or worst. I contacted Barnett again and it took bloody hell to get them to replace it. They argued with me from timeframe I bought it, price I paid for it and everything else in the book. Their first response was, "Risers snap sir". They finally argreed to ship a replacement and I told him as soon as I got it that I was selling it b/c I knew how much of junk their equipment was and then after recieving it, Barnett had shipped me a lower version. I have been argueing with them since. Worst customer service ever! They know their product is injuring people and wanted to argue about everything... I am looking for other people with similar issues or serious injuries to look into a class action lawsuit. I have filed a complaint with the Fed Trade Commion, Attorney General, and BBB so far and will not stop. I have been in contact with marketing managers of Cabelas and my fight will not end there! Barnett knows they are injuring people yet continue to sell their crap!

I have pictures of mine but the one above looks even worse! Was anyone hospitalized?

Anyone know a good attorney for class action lawsuits???

The little guy! ha! Do you even watch TV?

These came from Crossbownation.com. 1 of the pics is my old predator. Since October, I have Personally seen 4 Predators that blew up in addition to my 2 occurances. My 2nd "blow up" scared me so bad, i traded the replacement that Barnett sent me. It took a lot of shots with my new crossbow to trust crossbows again. Stay away from Barnett untill they figure out their manufacturing problems with the Predator.
mgeez

Two more failures
 

My friend and I bought the Predators at the exact same time. They arrived on the same day. I am very meticulous about my gear and I obviously know not to dryfire ANY bow. I also wax my string as instructed.....after every fifth shot. Well after the 20-25th shot *POW*. The string let go. It scared me. Well...I grabbed my muzzleoader and my friend grabbed his Predator. Walking back to my truck at dark I hear that same exact creepy sound from his bow 200 yrds away. Both strings broke at about the exact same time. I called them and the tech gal told me they had been dry fired. I said....Ya think so? That happens when a string breaks sweety. She told me to take the risers off and send them to Barnett. I hope for their sake this is the last I have to deal with this.
