![]() take your time to look around ! Gain info from everywhere, and check owners reviews on their crossbows before buying anything. I don't dare to tell you what you should buy. I now realise I should have used other criteria to decide which crossbow to buy. In addition, Barnett's customer service in Europe is bad at best (I don't know how it is in the States). Now I have Barnett's topmodel which proves to have the worst quality I ever saw on a crossbow. ![]() One would expect the best quality on a flagship model. However, the Rev XS should be Barnett's flagship model. I am not familiar with the other Barnett models. No doubt the power of the crossbow is impressive but what's the use of having power when your crossbow shows that many defects. Now I am still trying to fix things by myself as well as possible. I couldn't return the crossbow to Barnett since the sales of this model is not promoted in Europe so I bought it on Ebay from an archery dealer in the states. The rubber grips peel off from the stock just like that (although, this was the least of my disappointments). In addition, the flight groove on the stock showes a small hump (which will most likely affect the accuracy in a negative way) and the bow is not fitting horizontaly with the stock (it slightly stands in an angle). I solved it by milling out the hooks myself for about 1mm more to allow fitting. However, a manufacturing mistake made it impossible to lock the bow to the stock. I bought myself a Revolution XS one month ago because it's impressive looking, its power, speed and prod housing break-down feature. I thought Barnett would maintain the same quality standards till present time but I was wrong. ![]() About 20 years ago I bought myself the commando model (recurve) and at that time it was one of the most impressive crossbows. I looked around to find some help too since I made the mistake buying a Barnett. ![]()
