Overview

Shooting a recurve design makes this Barnett crossbow simple to learn and maintain, while an anti-dry fire trigger and Soft Lok retainer add safety. It ships mostly assembled with scope, quiver, arrows and wax.

Beginners get everything except a cocking aid in one box, and the recurve limbs are easy to understand. Speed falls below modern compound crossbows, so ethical range is shorter.

Who it's for

New shooters learning on the range or hunting at modest distances get a forgiving, light bow. Experienced hunters wanting speed should look at compound or reverse-draw models.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Complete starter package
  • Anti-dry fire trigger
  • Soft Lok floating bristle retainer
  • Light and easy to handle
Cons
  • Modest bolt speed
  • No cocking device included
  • Only two arrows supplied

Performance notes

Recurve limbs store energy in their curved tips, which makes the design simple but limits speed compared with cam systems. The anti-dry fire trigger blocks firing without an arrow, protecting limbs and string.
