Got a Vixen for my birthday. Yay! This gal is new to crossbows. Want some spares. Is this the correct replacement string?

Yes. But i would use the string that came with your bow for awhile,until you get use to it. Because the endless loop or excel sting is alot more forgiving in case of a dry fire. a dry fire with the fff could damage you or the bow.But the fff string is anywhere from 10-17 f.p.s. faster.I shoot the fff on my bows for more or less that reason. But i also have a anti dry fire mount. Good luck with your new bow. Pitbullman216

Thanks for the advice PBM216. I will work on my proficiency for awhile with the stock string. Is 36 the correct length for a Vixen?

If you haven't been able to find a cord yet through the Remington site or by Googling for a replacement, send me a mailing address via my "throw-away" e-mail site at smilinjackinfl41@aol.com and I'll send you one of my old cords. It is in excellent shape and came with one of my old Remington MS2-390's.

I agree with "daddyo". I will be hunting with Arrow Precision 6 Pack Carbon Arrows (20-Inch) tipped with G5 Outdoors T3 100 Grain 3 Pack Crossbow Broadhead. With the bolts and tips that came with it I am hitting groups the size of my fist at 25 yards and the last time I was firing it I actually "Robin Hooded" one of my bolts. Split the end of the bolt with another bolt. Very cool story but terribly unfortunate for my bolt count.

friends, when I set an arrow on the right side, the fletching is pushed by that secondary string between cams/pulleys.So, does it mean I must restring it? Is it something easy to do myself?

Randall I purchased the "Barnett ghost 410 CRT crossbow package" I didn't have that number as a reference. I don't know that I have adequately answered your question, but this is the package "I got" You can't go wrong, when you go Barnett

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.

I have purchased 2 sets of 5, plus the 3 that came with my xbow. My Son in laws both have the same xbow and bolts. We have all three been very pleased with the quality and accuracy. I have had no issues at all with them. I hope this helps.

I'am not familiar with crossbows but i would ask my local archery store or club.

I wouldn't suggest buying this to anyone honestly, mine snapped the stings under normal use, lucky the string didn't take my eyes out. Spend a cpl dollars more and get a real crossbow

For the price I would recommend it for his first crossbow. You have crossbows and you have compound crossbows. It depends on how much you want to spend and your range. Also, keep in mind the replacement strings for the Barnett crossbows are more than double the cost verses the Inferno Fury.

Look up stringing a horsebow on yt. I use the step over method. It's hard as hell to string. You better be 1 strong mofo lol.

Altering any part of a crossbow can be very risky business. Study the photos of the xbow carefully and look at the youtube videos. Get with the seller. Most sellers don't want a negative review so they might help you out to avoid this. It really sounds like you got parts from 2 different xbows.

The bow is beautiful but it splintered on the first shot.I may have strung it wrong.Good luck

Its not easy but it is possible. I highly recommend using leather gloves if you don't have the cocking device. It is an Awesome Crossbow! I've had it for about a year now. Always wax the strings when not in use! Best of luck!

Age 16, girl, beginner - perfect bow! Get some extra arrows as they are easily lost and are not very stout to start with. Best wishes! Bruce. (don't discard the sight that is embedded in the cardboard that is entangled within the bow strings.) Throw nothing away until you have used the sight! :-) BTW this is a serious bow, you could kill with this (with broadheads - a deer)

I had to have my string replaced and went to a archery shop that services Horton two weeks ago. Ten Point who bought Horton is planning on supporting the reverse draw crossbows that Horton sold. No warranty available since Horton went out of business. Check local arechery shops for horton support.

I would consult the manufacturers guide for the xbow. I do know you are putting yourself in danger of at least an inaccurate shot if you use a bolt that is not the correct length and weight for your bow. I have heard it can damage the bolt over time also and firing a damaged bolt can result in it sharrtering. I just imagine shards of carbon going in my face or hands and that is enough for me not to risk it. What xbow did you get???
