This is a great bow, shoots really fast with 100 grains heads, pretty slow with the big 170 grain mechanical heads. We marked off 35 yards in the last sighting in sequence, and the accuracy was still within 8 inches of each other on three shots, just using a shooting stick. A tripod would be be better. The bow is quieter than I expected. The height of the fore grip makes it more likely you will place your thumb in the groove, than sticking it up in the air and having the string ripping on it. I really love the pistol grip. The grooves on the rear of the stock butt could be deeper to help hold the cocking string in place. Nice bow, good job.

This was my first crossbow, putting it together wasn't as easy as you would expect due to poor instructions however it really isn't hard. Shot decently straight right out of the box. The sight came loose once after my first 9 shots but after tightening it again its been stable for over 20 shots now, I might try some locktight if it does it while shooting again. I can't compare quality because this is my first crossbow but I easily hit my target from 60 yards with decent groupings. For the price you can't really go wrong.

I got one of these because my state recently revised it's hunting with a crossbow law so everyone could use one and not just the handicaped. I chose this one because I like the way it looks, the price, and the specs... it's got a 150lb draw on it so a rope cocker or a crank cocker (which its designed to have installed into its stock) is essential. shooting it is very fun, just make sure you've got a target made for taking shots from a crossbow. Its also really accurate, I shoot mine in my back yard at about 25 yards and I can hold a 3in group. I really can't wait for bow season this year so I can see how this does in the field.

I have taken three deer with this xbow. howevr I had to replace the string and cable after the first year. I have talk to others that have other xbows and have nevre had to replace any. also I sent Barnt emails about this and thay said tha had not heard an thing about this problem. If you read the reviews you will see that that is not true. Other than that I am very pleased with this. dead on frome the first shot. If you buy this take to a good bow shop and have new string and cable put on.

Use a 4x32 scope. It is much easier to see what you are shooting at and does not need a battery.

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE STRING DO U NEED A BOW PRESSAnswers
A:Â
I personally would take it to an archery shop. If a 60# upright needs a press, this 150# xbow will need a press.Answers
A:Â
I personally use 20" Easton Powerbolts. They have longer fletchings than the stock Barnett bolts. This gives the Eastons a flatter trajectory over a longer range. It's about a 4in elevation difference @ 40yds meaning: the Eastons hit 4in higher than the Barnetts at that distance. Now, there is a slight tradeoff. The Eastons move slightly slower than the Barnetts for the simple reason a longer fletching produces more drag. But the difference is not that noticeable. Also, in a crosswind, the Eastons will drift more than the Barnetts. That's b/c the longer vanes catch more wind. But, the Eastons are more consistent in their flight behavior due to the longer fletchings. Again, this is not a 'brand issue,' it's fundamental aerodynamic principles. You could pick another brand if you like. I choose longer vanes for higher predictability of bolt flight. Hope that helps.A:Â
i use the barnett bolts,an am very satisfied....

I do not hunt but have shot my friend's crossbow before. I am interested in buying a crossbow for hobby/recreational purposes such as shooting a targets. Which crossbow would you recommend for this purpose? I have been looking at a few Barnett Crossbow, the Wildcat C5 in particular.Answers
A:Â
It was my beginner xbow. I use it for hunting too and it works well. If you want to see if crossbows are for you then I think it's a good buy.A:Â
Any crossbow can be goot as long as you practice.

Yeah Vinny that cocker works great,I reccomend it bro !Details:Â
I opened the package the sales rep gave me and installed the broadheads, only to find out they were a little longer. Any issues with this? I presume the sales person did so, so I could have the broadhead extend beyond the bow a little?Answers
A:Â
A 20" carbon shaft arrow is recommended for the Barnett Wildcat C5.

Hey Vinny,the 22 in bolts are actually better,the longet they are the truer they will fly,and the Cat C5 has plenty of power for 22's. Good luck dropping a deer bro !!A:Â
Yes. Practice with them prior to hunting because your ballistics will change.

A:Â
yelp,but it will be slow and maybe nose heavy into the targetA:Â
Yes, but with EVERY change in either Length of BOLT or WEIIGHT of Broadhead, you must re-zero your sights. I failed to re-site in after changing to an Easton Shaft with a broadhead that came with the Bow and was 16" high at 30 yards. AND I missed a nice Hog due to it.Answers
A:Â
It doesn't matter. I shoot left handed. works great.

not really, you'll have to index finger it over the stock with the left handA:Â
My son is Left Handed and does quit well with it. I think it is a great product for either Left or right handed hunters.Answers

20" carbon shaft arrow with a half moon nock is recommended for this bow. The total grain weight of the arrow should be about 454.A:Â
125gr broadhead
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
Say homey 125 grain is the recommended but you can go with 100's or 125's or I even have sum 140's. So its all good/ By the way what are you hunting up your way. I mean I could come up for a world class whitetail hunt in Ontario.A:Â
I recommend the 100g over the 125g. The drop over 40 yds is so great, don't help it along.
