I love it. I really do. The only thing I don't love about it. THE BOLTS... Why are they so fragile. I mean the crossbow is pretty sweet. The bolts are kinda BS. Plus being around $2.00 a piece? It can be expensive if you miss. Since they're green and you know? So's the grass. Thus becoming hard to spot. However 5 stars on the crossbow for sure.
I've had my HyperTac420 for several years now. It's a fun bow to shoot, and I love how it feels overall. Looking through the reviews, it seems like they had a bad batch of limbs come through with what others have reported - but I haven't experienced that with mine.
The good: Bow is relatively fast, feels great to shoot, and is accurate in repeating shots once it's dialed in.
The bad: Proprietary arrows, which cost a bunch. The aluminum nocks on the arrows can start to bend/compress because of the downward force of the string when shooting. If you are a practice shooter, I get about 20-25 shots out of a nock before it's time to replace it. That's annoying, but nocks aren't readily/easily available, or cheap.
I liken this bow to a lower end sports car. There's a lot to like about it, but there are some weird quirks that accompany ownership.
Also, charging $30 per arrow for lighted nocks in the Hyper series is a sin. Do better, Barnett.
They are simple to turn on and off and i like them and i cant wait to use them in the field.
I recently received my Barnett tee shirt and i love it great quality.
normaly a recurve hunter, last year due to a wrist injury hunted with my wildcat recurve crossbow. at 25 to 30 yards, with a two blade mechanical, complete pass through he went ten yards , leaned against a tree and tipped over dead. i have complete confidence in my wild cat. but do be aware of not taking longer shots
