I was so surprised by this crossbow and it is the 4th Barnett I have owned. The balance is great and the light weight is wonderful! Tennis ball size groups out to 50 yards and unless you like buying bolts you had better not shoot twice at the same spot. Shooting Victory X-Bolts with brass inserts and 125gn heads this crossbow is quiet. The Step Through Riser is great for using the rope cocker to reload in my stand.
Crossbow bends nocks after a few shots, Barnett does nothing about it. Acts like everything is ok. These hypertacs are horribly designed. Stay away. Do yourself a favor. Don’t buy one.
I purchased my STR in March 2024 and I’ve taken 2 deer the last 2 seasons with it. It hits in target every time. Small groupings out to 50 yards at the home range with the stock scope. In 2025 I did my first trip up north to Illinois with it and it performed as expected even in extreme cold and crawling through high grass fields in some spot-stalk. Nailed an old timer on day 5. I love the STR and look forward to my son using it eventually also.
The bow performs great and the scope is great too. What I do is I only turn my scope when needed common sense
This thing is a beast. 2 inch groups at 50 yds. 20 and 30 yds the fetching touches. Actually ruined 2 bolts. Speed is incredible. With 125 grn field points my Hawke speed ring is saying 420. I don't own a chrono. Bout 50 shots there's no visible wear on strings and cables. Time will tell. As for now, I'm impressed. Price was super. Scope was fine. Very good actually. I'm a speed ring guy so I upgraded. Didn't need to. Simply impressed this far. Turning quickly into a barnett fan. Yeah I hesitated because of bad reviews. I got a centerpoint. The bad reviews blanketed the web. 3 yrs still running strong. Maybe user error. And I had some shipping issues. One call to customer service and all was addresses. Don't be afraid of these crossbow. Service em. Lube em and I'm confident they'll be fine. So far, I highly recommend
