Aug 0f 2013 I purchased the Barrent Jackal as a starter package for Bow hunting.The price and stats over similar crossbows helped in this decision. Since then I have been very pleased with its preformance and accuracy. The down sides to this compound crossbow would be the extra parts, and the weight; over a recurve.Almost 9lbs of crossbow and a backpack walking the bush can add up on a long trip.

No! the bow is much heavier than advertised and arrows fall out of my bow when I point it down ... if your in a tree stand and a deer comes in close your in trouble ... yuk!

I would say overall yes. with that said i would have gotten the raptor fx if it was out when i got mine, its a bit more (i think $75) but they cut a lot of weight. i believe the raptor is 7lbs vs 9 and it comes with a better scope/or the same. my decision is purely on weight as i would replace the scope regardless, just hate the 3dot. if you cant afford a lighter one this one dose great and i get very clean kills with it. ive had it for 3 full seasons, wax your strings especially the the two that cross in the slide. they are very expensive to fix, not just on this xbow but all

You will have to contact the company who sold the bow in order to get replacement parts for it. I had to do the same thing with the arrow rest on the bow we bought. They sent me another one, but it is basically the exact same part as the one that was on there, which is a piece of junk anyway. Most likely the new will break at some point as well.

Not sure what kind of bow, but it seems to be of good enough quality. I have been very satisfied with everything.

when i got my was brand new. it is a really nice crossbow. i recommend to get the crossbow cocking device and get a pro installed for you. you have to be in really good shape to load the bow with the regular cocking rope! always put bow wax in all your strings and barnett lube wax in the rail!!

I do still have this and I still use it occasionally. I haven't had any issues with it at all. If you are looking for something consistent to use every day I wouldn't be sure on this, just because I haven't ever used it that consistently, but it has been 2+ years and it still works. Hope that helps!

Yes i beleive that these bows are made well and shoot very good. The only trick is, is to be sure that you cock the string equally or your arrow will fly off scope. Also be sure to read the instructions when assembling. I am 19 and love to shoot it.

I personally can say that I am very satisfied with my air rifle purchase. So far it seems to hold up to everything I remember as a kid with the one I had then. My brother-in law has an older model from the past and everything looks more or less the same. Being honest I must say that my new air rifle will most likely not come close to the use my older model did. I just don't seem to be as interested in pumping the handle as much! The first two hundred rounds I have fired so far, have been with no problems so far. Hope this helps you with your decision.

I have never had any problems with this bow. Very sturdy and goes together very easy out of box.

I gave the bow to my brother as a gift. It was highly rated and he has been very pleased with it.

Yes. I love it still. I've gotten better at making drinks on it, and it has never given one minute's trouble. It has a real "quality feel" to all the parts. If mine disappeared, I'd get the same thing again.

I just got one of these about a month ago and it came with the 20" arrows not 22". Also it came with a quiver that was not magnet quick detach. So I'm guessing this is a older lot. I can say that I haven't had any issues with scratching the stock when cocking or a loose foot stirrup. I would order some custom arrows from Jerry at south Shore archery though. I tried the 20" head hunters and a pack of easton 22" devastators but you will likely find that a few arrows will fly together and a few will fly together just in a different spot. Jerry will spine index all his arrows so this shouldn't happen. They could just need nock tuning also but she's a great shooter. Did I mention it is quit compared to some others. I would buy again if I didn't have the money for a scorpyd. Hope this helps.

Never did? Kinda goofy! Bought it as my daughters first bow two years ago, set her up with two adhesive sights I had. Good enough to teach her to shoot! Has moved to bigger and better bows. Good enough first bow for the money!

All I can say is I got this one and I'm very happy with it. I first got it for my hand gun. But after seeing how bright it was even in the day lite I put it on my bow for bow fishing and it works very good even in day lite. Hope this helped

I need replacements too! My kids loved the bow, and it really is a step above "little kid bows" that can't be aimed or go very far. But the bow strings broke and we need to figure out how to fix it.

I think it did the same thing to me but they shipped out the newer model. I haven't used it on a hunt but playing around with it I like the product.
