With a 350 FPS rating, the Recruit XP, sends arrows at speeds that rival the best top of the line vertical bows in a package that is easy to be pinpoint accurate with. The light 150 lb. draw weight is reduced by half when cocking with the included rope cocking device making this bow possibly the easiest to draw crossbow on the market. The lighter draw weight aids in the longevity of the Recruit XP making it a workhorse for countless shots. If you’re looking for your first crossbow or your last crossbow, look no further than the Recruit XP. It’s the perfect crossbow for hunting, shooting, and training for all ages and abilities. Topped off with an illuminated red/green red dot optic.
FREE $200 CUSTOM TRIGGER UPGRADE - INCLUDED
The Frictionless Release Technology™ creates a free-floating roller between the sear and the trigger – offering a smoother, lighter trigger unlike anything else on the market. Nock sensors and anti-dry fire give you peace of mind for double the safety, and a three-pound, zero-creep release gives you confidence to make the shot. Once you go TriggerTech, you’ll never go back.
The Barnett Recruit XP seems to overall a good crossbow. Two things the engineer's missed. No way to decock it so you have to shoot a practice arrow every time you come in from hunting. Second thing is the quilter. It is so close to the stock it makes it hard to carry and the arrows are hard to get out of it
Great bow. Bought before season and my wife has killed two deer on back to back hunts. She has been over the moon happy with this bow. Not a fan of the scope though.
I love these new crossbow it’s is really light and I haven’t shot it yet but I know what Barnet do to there weapons quickly dangerous good Jose good item
Good delivery and good delivery and good product
Got this crossbow to try this past year after I injured my shoulder and couldn't use my bow anymore. I was pleasantly surprised how light and easy the crossbow was to use. Only issue I had was the sight wouldn't stay zeroed but still got the job done.

When I had to replace my Parker 150 Buckbuster, I purchased the Barnett XP385, and I’m glad I did. Bought the XP385 two years ago and have taken several deer with it. Compact, light weight, moderately priced, and has plenty of speed to take a deer with ease. I’d recommend this cross bow without any hesitation!!
Been in the market for a crossbow for awhile. After reading reviews and lots of video reviews, I finally decided on the Wildcat Ultralite DC. I found the last one in the area and pulled the trigger. I am very satisfied! This bow is solid, fast and accurate. I don't have a chronograph to confirm the 410fps as advertised. However, the first reticle is dead on at 30 yards with a 20 yard zero. I really like the sled for rope cocking and decocking, ensuring an even consistent draw every time. The decocking feature was a huge factor for this purchase. I only wish it would have come with three bolts instead of two.
The scope mount bases started coming loose after about a dozen shots. I torqued the screws down with a torque wrench and so far no more issues. Good glass, clear view and overall a decent scope IMHO.
The compact design make it easy to maneuver in confined space. Up until this purchase, I've only shot compound bows, for almost 40 years now. Overall I think this is a great crossbow, but this is my first crossbow, so take it for what it is worth.
I like it alot but its not fleece like they said it was supposed to be. Its a cheep sweatshirt I won't buy it again im not happy with it for the cost
I bought one today after looking at it at Bass pro. It's really solid built and narrow. The decocking is a major game winner and it shoots great. You will robin hood your bolts with it I sure did at 40yds.
Impressed with the speed and accuracy. Very happy with this purchase.
Purchase the flight retention spring because because the brush that holds the bolt on my brand new Wildcat does hold the bolt on the rails enough to guide the bolt , Was luck to hit a foot group at 20 yards. Call Barnett and Mary was to speak to her shooter and call or text me and instead just drop the ball , But after installing it I was able to hit a quarter inch dot at 20yds consistently. Had to drill and tap the scope rail to install it
This is my first crossbow ever and i’m very happy with my purchase. Bow shoots super fast, quiet, and VERY accurate. Included scope is nothing special but it works well, holds zero and has been reliable. I take this thing to the range and I can nail 1 inch groups all day from 25 yards. It’s almost not fun because of how easy it is to shoot accurately. Got my first deer with it this year, it was a complete pass through heart shot from 32 yards. I don’t have anything to compare this bow to, but I can tell you that this bow works exactly how it’s supposed to. I would highly recommend.
Purchased two packages of strobe crossbow arrows at Cabellas. Attempted to sight in crossbow with them about a week later. Upon firing one of the arrows a second time I found the nock to be missing. A second arrow in the bunch of six total would not light up when fired. I contacted customer service and they sent me out a brand new replacement package of three arrows no wuestions asked. On top of this, these arrows are by far the most consistant arrows I have ever used. Amazing product and amazing customer service.
I got mine for $319 and it’s awesome. I ordered the crank for it because I have wrist problems. My center serving is showing a tiny amount of wear but far from needing a new serving. Factory scope is good enough for hunting deer to about 40 yards but you will need a better scope to see the full potential of this crossbow. Give it a good scope and good bolts and you will love it. I think it should come with 3 bolts instead of 2. Jim Walton I have a bunch of videos featuring this crossbow on my YouTube channel Backyard Broadheads. I wish I had more time to shoot it more.
Big punch coming from such a small compact crossbow. Really surprised how fast this little sucker is. My son loves it, and loves being on armadillo patrol.
