Rated 5 out of 5Â by Templar527 Performs well
To spite all the bad noise I hear about this xbow, mine performs very well. I bought the scoped package because I do not like dot sights in general and I'm very pleased. I've put about 80 shots on the string and is showing acceptable wear. I don't know if this was a fluke for not, but I screwed the scope onto the rail, strung it up and it shot dead on the 1st try, no adjustments needed. I really like this xbow, doesn't kill the wallet. I grease the deck every 5-6 shots and don't have any issues.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by 317sniper great crossbow
I got the bow the other day, then I put it together. took it to the range to sight it in the first shot was lest and even with the bullseye, three clicks to the right and its dead nut in the center, I had my wife and two kids shoot it and they all shot it into the same hole, my youngest son is 8 and the oldest is 10 so he's going to use this crossbow for his deer this year, the bow is quiet and shoots very fast, one of the best crossbow for the money.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Tonio981 DO NOT BUY
I bought this crossbow eariler this season. I shot this crossbow approx 20-30 times using the recommended bolts and weight. I noticed on my way hunting one afternoon that the limb on the right side starting splitting. An approx 6 inch slither of the limb just started coming off. Its def not something I would expect from Barnett. I visited Barnetts website and emailed them several times with NO response. So not only do I have a jacked up crossbow, Barnetts customer service is terrible. Save your time and money.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Joe1951 Great bow Terrible scope
I purchased the Wildcat as my first crossbow and have been very pleased with the way it shoots. However the barnett 3 dot scope that came with it is a P.O.S. I tried in vane to sight it in but the zero keeped moving. I called barnett and they were willing to replace it so i sent it in and got a second one. It is worse than the first one.

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.
