The first crossbow of mine. Everything is great except the foot sturip. Don't buy the package,buy the raw bow,add a truglo 3 dot,shoot easton c2 20 inch bolt, 100 grain hades head,and take it and have strings/cables built for it.it will shoot 335fps.

Great value and very accurate crossbow. When I bought mine, I was interested in something that would get me started and that I could use during bow season with my son.... The Wildcat for me will fit the bill and is easier on pocket than the vision...

Rated 4 out of 5Â by reddot New Purchase and frustrated
I just purchased the Wildcat C5 with the built in crank and the red dot sight. I think I like the bow but I am not really sure as I have not been able to get it sighted in because of the red dot sight. No matter what I do the red dot will not adjust up or down and at this point the bow is shooting low, very low every time. The bow has plenty of power and is relative easy to handle. The crank is cumbersome to operate but adequate. It is definitely a lot better than trying to cock the bow with a cocking rope or by hand. As far as the red dot sight goes, I read some bad reviews on it before I purchased the bow but I made the mistake of leaveing it on the bow instead of going to a better sight or scope. I have just ordered a new TruGlo scope for the bow and might as well just forget about the red dot as trying to get it repaired would be a hassel and cost more money. Recommend the bow but stay away from the red dot.

I am currently on the 3rd set of cables. Teflon tape applied to the cable track seems to help. The safety is VERY stiff. The scope did not even last for one hunting season before it stopped functioning properly. I called Barnett to inquire about purchasing a scope. I left my name and number as instructed by the recorded message, and no noe returned my call. So, I went and purchased scope rings and mounted a scope on it. While trying to zero the scope, the bow started shooting inconsistently. Upon further inspection I realized one of the limbs is bent/warped. I cannot justify spending any more money on this bow(replacement parts/pro shop fees).

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....

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

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.

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.
