The crossbow went together quickly and the general fit and finish is a bit above what I expected for the price. ruclips.net/user/postUgkx5B43Qabqt1HedUJyfEqxiwBCfaooIH52 The adjustable stock is a little loose. I had an issue when I tried to cock the bow for the first time with the safety on. The string set in the trap box, held just enough to build up enough tension to rip the string out of my hands when it let go. No significant damage was done, and once I got it sighted in, I wrecked a couple bolts by sending one straight down the shaft of the first. I'm holding ~2" groups at around 50 yards, and I'm not an expert by any means. Best part is that they supply all the replacements parts you may ever need
Sighting in rule: When shooting a vertical compound...you "chase the arrow" with your pins. With a crossbow scope,you move the reticle in the direction you want the arrow to impact. 40yrs of doing this,and i still gotta remind myself of it!!! And remember to keep your fingers BELOW the rail,folks!! That string,when fired,doesnt take off your fingers cleanly. It rips them off.
Just purchased a Barnett Brotherhood crossbow ,nice bow very accurate, ONE PROBLEM ! DO NOT BUY A CROSSBOW WITHOUT AN ALUMINUM FLIGHT RAIL, DO NOT CHEAP OUT ! BUY ONCE CRY ONCE ! I'm returning to Cabelas and purchasing a TEN POINT
Love Barnett crossbows man but you guys just made me laugh till I cried......he missed that target so hard! *shoots crossbow*.......instantly says “yup right on target”🤣🤣🤣🤣💪💪💪😎😎😎
Do you have any videos showing the dots ? Do the light up ? Where are they located in the scopes? Thank you the video above was very informative for setting the scope an wax,didnt know that was necessary
I've been sighting in my crossbow for the last few years from the ground, and have managed to arrow deer just fine. I havent noticed any kind of difference.
So are the labels on the scope reticle or projectile? Like when it says up is clockwise, and I turn it clockwise does that mean the bolt will strike higher? Or is it to raise the dot itself which would have the opposite effect..? I just got a Jackal with the 1x scope.
I'm from the UK and have an old Barnett Commando 2 crossbow 175lb. I've got it out and dusted it off 20 years later and it have no scope. I'm looking to buy some form of optics but what do I go for? Red dot sight like this or a scope of some sort? Do you have any recommendations? Great video by the way!
Very informative vid I've got a penetrator with that sight it's hard to find somewhere to shoot especially hunt in uk but I now know how to set up the sight , you guys should include this info in the product packaging but allgood and I you could answer why are arrows so expensive ? The 50 pack u do ?
you have to make sure the bolt is all the way back. you then should be able to switch it off safe. you can't just pull the string back and switch it between safety and not with out a bolt in it
Dear Barnett, Please make a video on how to fix a crossbow that has been installed improperly with the strings on top of the risers. And has been cocked. Asking for a friend.
Okay I know I can't be the only one to do this but I put my new Barnett Avenger crossbow together. I cocked it to test it a realized the front strings a on top of the riser instead of inside the bow. Now how do I decock it? Mr. Stupid
3 years old but just in case any newbies come across this.. I'd recommend practicing with the exact arrow and broadhead type you'll be hunting with. You can buy targets made for broadheads.
I got a PSE Fang it came out of the box with a piece of junk scope. I looked around for a replacement because PSE would not replace the junk they sold me that was clearly the scope manufacturer fault. I went to Walmart Bass pro Cables out doors no body had a affordable scope for crossbow except Amazon . It really aggravates me that you can fined stuff affordable online At Amazon but the freaking store don’t carry the products. If I owned a sports store I’d be making money selling affordable products not all this Nike over rated stuff that’s the problem with America 🇺🇸 these days seems like stores just want to take your butt instead of serving the consumer. Anyway I put a simple Tasco red dot 🔴 on my crossbow I paid 54 dollars for it says it’s for a shotgun but it works very good at 75 yards down to 10 yards on my crossbow. You don’t need 3 dots it doesn’t need to say crossbow on the box all you need is to zero it in at around 20 yards and the scope does the rest your arrow will go where you aim the DOT you don’t need 3 dots in fact 3 dots get confusing and could make you miss the target 🎯 one more little trick when you sight in a scope fallow the Arrow if you shoot high fallow the arrow with your adjustment.

Just before the money shot he says "come back to the left just a couple of clicks" proceeds to turn 10 clicks or more. Lmao. This does not help the first time crossbow shooter.

Yes its reverse which is confusing
It's like a bullet

"Bullseye " ...guess we're just gonna have to take your word on that😒
It's a barnett, if it's in the bag at 20 yards and didn't blow up then it's a Barnett bullseye.
@@Live_Outdoors with a rested shooting position he should be hitting bullseye 3:4 shots
Hey thank you. Your explanation was very accurate to the information I needed. Thank you.
Love Barnett crossbows man but you guys just made me laugh till I cried......he missed that target so hard! *shoots crossbow*.......instantly says “yup right on target”🤣🤣🤣🤣💪💪💪😎😎😎

Hey I just brought me one from Walmart and my string snapped and hit me in my eye would you happen to know why that happened
So for the second one do you make the adjustments and the other first one will stay the same
Does it make a big difference sighting your bow on the ground at a straight shot and getting in a hang on stand shooting at a deer?
I've been sighting in my crossbow for the last few years from the ground, and have managed to arrow deer just fine. I havent noticed any kind of difference.
So are the labels on the scope reticle or projectile? Like when it says up is clockwise, and I turn it clockwise does that mean the bolt will strike higher? Or is it to raise the dot itself which would have the opposite effect..? I just got a Jackal with the 1x scope.

I'd buy a scope. Nikon makes excellent optics
What kind of bench is he using in this video? It looks very sturdy.
+Dave Rose Jr ...I have the same question regarding the bench...the bows are crap...but the bench is awesome!
Nice good instructions to follow It's not an AR-15 or rifle it's a crossbow i like the chair where did you get it i like to get one for the range
I would have liked the technical jargon to be closer to the actual distance. Shooting at 20yards for a 3 dot was the topic I believe.
Just verify the zeroing distance in the video, was the distance of the 1st target 10 meters and the second target 20 meters? Thanks in advance!

Starts the video by stressing "safety" first tips..Proceeds to load crossbow in triangle zone lol
i just got a small 80 pound crossbow. The rail mount doesn't have any notches one the top of it. How would I mount a sight on that type of rail???
Jabiel Cabana The rail is called a Picatinny rail , its used for mounting optics onto its not actually sight of ant kind. Sorry buddy.
Shooting my new barnet crossbow 5th shot the whole thing snapped and I was doing it 100% correctly I have had multiple crossbows never go with barnet
How do I turn on my scope
Awesome video! Could someone tell me why does my crossbow always get stuck in safe mode? I can’t switch to fire, with the arrow... thanks!
you have to make sure the bolt is all the way back. you then should be able to switch it off safe. you can't just pull the string back and switch it between safety and not with out a bolt in it
Dear Barnett,
Please make a video on how to fix a crossbow that has been installed improperly with the strings on top of the risers. And has been cocked. Asking for a friend.
That was accidentally me
Okay I know I can't be the only one to do this but I put my new Barnett Avenger crossbow together. I cocked it to test it a realized the front strings a on top of the riser instead of inside the bow. Now how do I decock it?
Mr. Stupid
can you start sighting it in at 20 yds
Funny u didn't show the last shot 😂😂
How does switching from field point to broad head effect the trajectory and accuracy?
I'm new to crossbows and I have been wondering the same thing. I think if they are the same grain there won't be a difference
its the flight pattern. the broadhead is more bulky vs the slick field point
it isn't because you get the same ounce field point as the broadhead your welcome
The flight patter will vary. Always shoot your broadheads to see if they need adjustment
3 years old but just in case any newbies come across this.. I'd recommend practicing with the exact arrow and broadhead type you'll be hunting with. You can buy targets made for broadheads.
When you with crossbow will it hurt if you leave it crock for 6to7 hours when you hunt deer
It might. They don't recommend leaving them cocked past 4 hours.
Thank you !
thanks man really good video are you on here often posting new videos

Hello my name is jodes I'm Brazilian I dream of having a crosbow I'm from a poor family and here in Brazil they cost a lot of money, you would not have one used to donate or someone you know who does not want anything else ??? I really wanted to have a
No
I hear someone talking, but I don’t see them.
Thank you
very proffessional man , eow
Just before the money shot he says "come back to the left just a couple of clicks" proceeds to turn 10 clicks or more. Lmao. This does not help the first time crossbow shooter.
Stop. Advert alert.
You show the first 3 where they was placed on the bag. Then you take your fourth shot and don’t show it but call bulls eye. I call bull shit.
Scope lasted less than 80 shots won’t hold a zero now 🫤
