BARNETT Blackcat Recurve Crossbow Hunting Package, with Red Dot Sight, 2 Arrows, Lightweight Quiver, Shoots 260 Feet Per Second, Black Strike

Great crossbow. Bought it for my 15 year old son. Doesn’t have a cocking string so make sure you buy one. Red dot is cheap but accurate

It was easy to assemble, works well, and is sturdy. I wasn’t expecting it to be anywhere nearly as good as it is. For the price you can’t beat it. I’d buy this crossbow again.

So because of where I live and my proximity to other homes I wanted somthing that didn't sound like I was shooting my rifle 600yrd away from my neighbors and kinda give them that piece of mind that I wasn't shooting towards their home. I had never done archery before so I wanted to wet my toe and try a crossbow. I also didn't want to spend a fortune considering I already have deer rifles. Im am so glad I bought this. I have harvested 4 deer from my property with it. All I had to buy was a string cocker, a few carbon express bolts and a pack of G5 montecs. The closest I shot one was 10 yards and my furthest shot was 34 yards. I found all my deer within 50 yards because this thing is a tack driver and they were all heart shots. I definitely recommend this crossbow. I dont know how long it will last but I feel like I've gotten my monies worth from it already.

The assembly was a slight challenge due to the instructions being a complete joke. However, the issue was that the main rope cocking mechanism broke immediately upon first use. It got stuck after using it only once.

Awesome quality, however it did not include rope cocking device, which it said, in the manual, was included. Was able to shoot a couple of times, but with out the cocking device, I could not continue using.

First and foremost, be aware that the draw weight is 165 and not 195. It comes with 18 ince bolts and not the advertised 20 inch bolts. The white guide marks on the bow arm are NOT lined up properly. The white line in the center of the bow nose when lined up "properly" does not allow the guide lines to line up properly on the bow string. Bass pro has a compound crossbow for the same lrice as thism just go get that instead.

Great little bow. Not very heavy not hard to get your head around. Easy to restring. I recommend 20-22 inch bolts with 125-150 grain heads. Have shot around 50 bolts and have it sighted in after about 10 or so. Will say due to the light weight it has some more of a kick than heavier crossbows so getting a good shot is somewhat tricky. Worth the price when I bought it at 200$.

I bought this not knowing how powerful it really is, shot through target and into the fence behind it. Great product works awesome. Would definitely buy again 😁
