Rated 5 out of 5Â by rob8up Good Purchase
The crossbow is a great bow, but if you buy it get the crank for it because YOU WILL NEED IT! The scope that comes with it works really good.. I was surprised due to the reviews I have read already.. I have hit the arrow on a 40 yard shot using the RED DOT.. But I tell you buy the cranking device no matter what . I had to have it shipped next day and had to pay out the butt, due to I couldn't use it for opening day bow season.. NO WAY TO PULL WITHOUT CRANK... The Reason I have a crossbow, for bow season is do to a dislocated shoulder and that was even hard to try to pull back and why you need a crank .. TRUST ME...............

0-35 = 1 dot, 36 to 55 = 2nd dot, 56-75 = 3rd dot. Plenty of speed, goes through front shoulder. Flat and accurate, good enough for me!! Not in the olympics!!

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....A:Â

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.A:Â

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.Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
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.Top 1000 Contributor
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.Top 1000 Contributor

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 broadheadTop 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.Top 1000 Contributor
