Barnett Jackal Crossbow Package (Quiver , 3 - 20-Inch Arrows and Premium Red Dot Sight)


Great bow
Went together easy, UPS showed up at 5:30 and had my first bolt in the target by 7. 3 bull eyes with out even adjusting the scope. Found out my $17.95 wall-mart target not tough enough for this bad boy. I was a little worried about the 7lbs weight but did not know it was setup for a shoulder strap. Love the 3 point led scope. Only negative thing is I wish it had the 4 bolt quiver instead of the 3 bolt quiver, but after shooting it don't think I'll need it... What ever gets in front of this thing is freezer meat! I bought the Panzer V last season, and really liked it, but wanted to get something with a little more punch, I think i found it....
I love this thing, ill now be hunting in archery season...
I am new to crossbows, before this one i had never shot one, i got friends that have them and they love it. i read the reviews and compared specs to other crossbows, and settled with this one, i didnt want to spend a whole lot incase i didnt like it. As it turns out, i love this weapon, its very accurate right out of the box, comes with everything u need to get started except broadheads for hunting. you do get practice tips and one tube of wax. you need to wax string every 5-10 shots, sounds like a chore but its not, wax tube is like chapstick and easy to apply. Buy a redhot roller cocker with it and its almost effortless to cock the 150lb bow. useing fingers is possible but fingers were sore after 5 times and didnt want to do it again. i designated 1 of the 3 arrows for practice by marking the fletching with a sharpie, used the same arrow and tip for practice over and over, even shot thru my target and into an aluminum table, and didnt dull the tip, or ruin the fletching. it is very...
Great for beginners(like myself)
Not too hard to assemble, and fires very accurately. Just as a warning, this is not a toy obviously, it fires plenty fast enough to kill or seriously injure somebody. And make sure while firing your fingers on your hand opposite of your firing hand, you keep your fingers low so the cable doesn't hit our fingers when it fires. This happened to me last week and i needed my thumb nail removed, stitches and the thumb was fractured. This is still a very good crossbow that has a very comfortable feel. The red dot sight is very nice, it has 5 brightness settings for both red and green dots. The bolts(crossbow arrows) are practice arrows but still pretty sharp. I would highly recommend this crossbow!
