There are several here who try to warn people about Barnetts, there are those of us who come right out and say what a P.O.S. Barnetts are and list examples and facts confirming that they are junk.
Then we have twits, idiots, fools and Bozos who advocate what a good quality crossbow Barnett makes, how they have turned things around, what good customer service they have and the price point to performance is so good! DUH!! All this crap is 100% opposite of what is really happening with Barnett , yet people believe this hype and continue to buy Barnett junk. Makes me wonder!!

Been there. Done that. Twice! Move on to a different make. All you will get from a problem CB is flintching everytime you shoot it. Along with a deep lost of confidence in its preformance. I sure wish I would have found this place BEFORE I MADE my first purchase!

Any new bow is going to go thru a "shake down" period. You can beat up prototypes all you want, but that will not gaurentee that the production models will hold up. The issue I see is that there is WAY too much limb on these bows for what the rest of the frame is able to handle. In their quest to make a cheap, fast bow, Barnett made a handgrenade. If the Preditor was built to shoot say 325fps there would be alot less issues. You want to go fast, you better have a chassis that can handle it and that means you will not be able to make it to hit a $400 price point. Either slow it down to what the bow can handle, or build it right so it stays together and charge accordingly. The people who want 375fps but dont want to pay for it need to get a grip and either step up and pay for a quality bow, or deal with a slower bow that will hold together for the price they want to pay...Or get a big box of bandaids...

It's not about hating the brand, it's about caring for future and present bowhunters who could, and will get hurt by having a Barnett blow up .
It's also about responding to comments like yours and other people that are utterly assinine, foolish and unintelligent!
