Last question; Why does Barnett continue to make and sell such junk?

Why would I waste my time calling them when I have never gotten any satisfaction before?? I'd much rather he answer my questions publicly so everyone can read whatever BS he says. I all ready know what the TRUE answers are, curious to see what kind of propaganda Barnett has to say!

Default buck commander

I bought my first crossbow, a barnett buck commander on friday, 9-17-10, and shot it on tuesday to sight it in. On the 15th shot the orange serving string broke. I know I'm new to this but i would think the string would be more durable. I followed the instructions about waxing the string after every 5 shots and waxed the flight rail, too. I'm going to call Barnett in the morning to see if theres a problem that they can fix otherwise bass pro shop where i bought said that they would exchange it for another crossbow.

well i guess Coyote has used Barnett bows ? or is he passing long hear say. i personally own two Barnett crossbows and they shoot very well... many times, they are accurate, and fast, but what do i know i only have two of them. and i don't try to keep up with the jones, i use what works without attempting to break the bank.

i am sorry but i don't understand why you guys bash something you don't know what your talking about. Barnett makes good bow or they would not be in business much more than a week. they have a 5 year warranty, i bought two of their crossbows and have shot them a lot with NO breakage, or Issues. course i don't abuse my equipment, and therefore don't have problems. the bows are just as accurate and just as fast if not faster than the 1200.00 tenpoint bows. matter of fact i can buy and have bought two crossbows for less than what one of those bows cost, and the Jackals will probably outshoot the tenpoint banker bow.
oh well.... i sure you are even a scent lock wearers too...

Smokepole you hit the nail on the head..... ALL of them there man made crossbows can have a come apart most any time, only God knows when. one is no better than the other because they are all Man made.
