The Wildcat UltraLite DC with CCD builds on the proven Wildcat platform with a lightweight, compact design, controlled de-cocking capability, and an integrated crank cocking system. Launching HeadHunter™ arrows at speeds up to 410 FPS, it delivers serious hunting performance in a narrow, maneuverable compound crossbow built for demanding conditions.
Its cocking and de-cocking trigger system allows the crossbow to be smoothly and safely de-cocked without firing an arrow. A pre-installed, self-retracting crank cocking device reduces the effort required to cock and de-cock the crossbow, while a magnetic quick-detach handle provides simple operation and convenient storage.
An AVi™ Fold-Away foot stirrup shortens the overall profile to just 32.5 inches, while the crossbow measures only seven inches axle-to-axle when cocked. A streamlined single-bolt assembly makes setup fast and simple, so the crossbow can be ready for the field in minutes.
The package includes a 4x36mm multi-reticle scope, two 20-inch HeadHunter™ arrows, and a lightweight side-mounted quiver. Pre-installed limb and string dampeners help reduce vibration and noise for a smoother, quieter shot.
A black machined composite stock is paired with brown and tan Barnett camouflage and textured contact surfaces for a secure, comfortable hold. Lightweight, compact, and easy to operate, the Wildcat UltraLite DC with CCD combines speed, control, and convenient crank-assisted cocking in a purpose-built hunting crossbow.
I’ve had more experience crossbows and this one compares with many of them . Easy cocking and smooth trigger pull with little to no kick .the scope is cheap but accurate . I personally upgraded the scope. in love shooting the Barnett wildcat.
First time sighting it in cocked it back got halfway through cranking it back and the stupid star bit thing broke. We wrote the company because day one that shouldn't happen they want us to send it in instead of just sending me the replacement even though I sent them a picture of the broken piece now I don't know where to find this piece and it's half cocked so it's going to end up breaking even more stuff because I can't release it (husband registered it immediately when we got it)

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
Supposed to be universal. Doesn’t fit the rail and too small
For the crank hook.

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.
This is not my first crossbow but it is the best one I have ever owned. I swapped out the somewhat basic scope that came stock for a larger one adjustable for velocity. Great call; I can put bolt after bolt into a 3 inch circle at 50 yards... though I would prefer a closer shot, it's nice to know how accurate it is. Solidly built, great safety features & fun to shoot. I have fired it about 50 times with zero issues other than the bolts penetrating the target too much & fletching getting damaged.
This bow, hands down beats any crossbow within that price range on the market, Super-fast and drives tacks.
