Does anyone know of a aftermarket cocking aid for the barnett jackal that will work?

I bought one called Excalibur several yrs ago and it has served very well. It is a rope about 34 inches long from handle to handle with 2 hooks. The Jackal has a crease beneath the rear of the scope near the safety that accepts the string. To uncock, I keep an old bolt handy which I shoot into the ground or a target.

I have the Barnett it wasn't that much and is works very well it gives you a even pull each time if you want it shoot accurate you want the same pull each time

the string cocking device works on the jackal they have 2 handles and 2 hooks that goes under the string and you pull up with the foot in the front stirup, my sister in law couldn't use this so I retro fitted a horton crank on it using a u bolt.

I have used several different ones and they all seem to work. But a Barnett is only 19.00...thats what I paid for mine.

Yes it does. The cocking rope is well designed too. Just make certain you understand how to use it properly. I can't cock mine without heavy gloves, unless I use the rope. The rope makes it a breeze to cock. I also understand some folks damaged their rope by not making sure it sits in the groove towards the rear of the stock, just behind the sight/trigger housing. I put a scope on mine because my astigmatism would not allow me to use the red dot sight. I also found that a 17" (I cut my own Beemans) carbon arrow is ultra quiet and the best FOC setup with 125 grain Aero opening broadheads. My hunting neighbor stood by and "sound rated" the three types of arrows I tested and said he could not hear the 17" Beeman carbons. Practice with the aluminums that come with it though until you get the feel of things and learn if you may prefer a scope, etc. I could have stand hunted with the arrows that come with. They are sturdy if you don't hit hard objects with them, but I also kept them straight with my alumin. arrow straightener tool I have. Love the bow--very accurate.

Here is the link for the new C-Hook arrows (http://www.amazon.com/Monkey-Business-FoamStrike-Compound-Replacement/dp/B00OTU2BOA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1415141652&sr;=8-1&keywords;=B00OTU2BOA)

Not a good system. Had the same happen to me. Frankly, the manual cocking device seems to work the best for me. Just adjust to fit your arm length. If cocking while standing is difficult, sitting on the ground and just leaning backward makes cocking a lot easier. I would return the unit. Hope this helps. Bill

Just did a search for Barnett commando models and most don't seem to have a foot stirrup. without a foot stirrup to hold your crossbow down I don't recommend using this cocking aid.

NOPE! I lost my first Klaw hatchet to a similar trick. Unless you can figure out a good way to reinforce it, don't even try. If you want a sturdy NERF melee weapon, I recommend the Warlock Axe. Now get back out there, soldier!

In order for you to cock this, this crossbow you wil need a crank mechanism that can be installed at the butt of the bow (there are two covers which can be removed in order to install it). You can buy it from Barnett or Amazon.

Any crossbow hand rope crank assist will work, this particular crossbow should come with one in the box. I would not purchase one until I received the bow as one may already be included.

I don't really know but it would be worth finding out the difference between your Barnett Recruit and my Barnett Quad 400 because the Barnett Crank Cocking Device was so easy to install and it makes my crossbow a pleasure to shoot. That is the only answer I can give you because I don't what similarities the Recruit and the Quad 400 have in common.

Jayco can give you the best answer to your question. We have been very happy with our Barker jack. Good luck with yours.

Yes, I also Have a Crossbow "Bowtech Stryker ". The Gorilla Shooting Stick will work Awesome as it is one Sturdy Tool in your stalking and ground game for Whitetails. I will not hunt without it.

More than likely yes. I do not have a barnett jackal but see no reason why they wouldn't. These are however quite heavy so might have to adjust for drop.

I have a Matrix 380 and this unit works excellent on this model, the unit description describes that this will work for your model. The cocking crank is very light weight and installs and removes easily and quickly, a must for your bow, vey good construction and workmanship. This unit is not designed to decock the bow. If you have any questions contact Excalibur, they are very helpful and there response time for questions are immediate.
