1st purchase: Barnett or Ten Point?
 

Hey Folks, newbie to this forum. Just received my crossbow permit, and looking to make a purchase. I've been doing the obligatory research, narrowed things down, and have best access to test fire and thus purchase either:

Ten Point Titan Extreme

or,

Barnett Ghost 350

Price on these in my area is the same.

Anyone with first hand experience with both of these? I know a lot of this is like anything else in the world - personal opinion. But if you have any strong reasons why I should or shouldn't buy, please let me know.

Thanks!

That decision is a n o brainer Definitely TenPoint, Barnett has lousy quality, lousy durability. lousy reliability, piss poor warranty and even worse customer service

Ten Point has exactly the opposite. 5 Stars in all the above mentioned catagories!

I have no experience with Barnett. I just had my 9 year old Ten Point Stealth X-2 serviced by Ten Point. The service is there and the quality is still there even for my 9 year old crossbow. If you are going to buy a bow to last a while I would highly recommend a Ten Point.

No choice there, got to go with Ten Point. Check out Excalibur also. Both have great support and warrenties.

I have owned both and I would highly recommend the ten point.

I shoot an Excalibur Vortex and love it. Simple maintemance on recurves. I have heard nothing but good things about TenPoints bows as well. I don't have any personal experience with Barnetts, but have always heard they tend to blow up and that there customer service is pretty sub-par as well. Go with the TenPoint or an Excalibur.

Ten Point! I have an titan extreme and it performs better than other bow in camp.

Those two brands should not be in the same sentence. Barnett= Kia. Ten point=Mercedes.
Buddy of mine had a Barnett blow up in his face. 4 stitches under his eye and 2 hours of a doctor pulling out fiberglass particles out of his face! Enough said!

Another vote for the Ten Point. I had one of their top of the line 2008 models. I bought it used. It was wicked fast, and drop dead accurate.

TENPOINT!!!!!
