THE PREDATOR YOU BUY WILL BE NEW IN ITS OWN BOX. NEVER USED, NEVER ASSEMBLED, NEVER FIRED.WITH ITS INNOVATIVE SHOOT THRU FOOT STIRRUP, THE WEIGHT AND BALANCE HAVE BEEN IMPROVED OVER MOST CROSSBOWS. AND WHEN COCKED THIS CROSSBOW IS INCREDIBLY NARROW ALLOWING FOR SHOOTING FROM TIGHT PLACES. BUT BEST OF ALL IS THE 375 FEET PER SECOND SPEED OF THE BOLT AS IT LEAVES THE XBOW. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH SHOOTING ARROWS AND BOLTS IS THAT YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE DISTANCE TO YOUR TARGET. AND THE FARTHER YOUR TARGET IS FROM YOU THE MORE FINELY YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE DISTANCE. BECAUSE THIS CROSSBOW SHOOTS SO FAST, IT ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE A LONGER POINT BLANK SHOOTING DISTANCE, AS WELL AS MAKING DISTANT SHOTS MUCH MORE EASY TO MAKE. IT IS A MUCH LIGHTER AND BETTER BALANCED XBOW TO CARRY AND SHOOT (ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO THE STRYKER). AND AT 40 PER CENT OF THE PRICE OF A STRYKER, IT IS AN INCREDIBLE DEAL. HAVING ALREADY SEEN THE PROTOTYPE OF THIS XBOW AT A SHOW IN 2007, I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A XBOW TO RECKON WITH. AND HAVING SHOT THE XBOW EARLIER IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, I FOUND OUT JUST HOW GREAT A SHOOTER IT WAS. NOT ONLY IS IT FAST BUT IT IS ALSO INCREDIBLY ACCURATE. SHOOTING 22 INCH CARBON BOLTS, I HAD NO TROUBLE GROUPING ALL MY SHOTS ON AN AREA THE SIZE OF A STYROFOAM COFFEE CUP FROM TWENTY YARDS. I ALSO FEEL THAT I WILL NOT HAVE TO SET MY TOP RETICLE TO 18 YARDS DISTANCE ANYMORE; I FEEL THAT WITH THIS XBOW I CAN SET THE TOP RETICLE TO 24-25 YARDS. THIS IS THE DISTANCE I NORMALLY SEEM TO GET SHOTS AT MY REGULAR STAND. SO MY POINT BLANK RANGE ON THIS SCOPE SHOULD BE FROM ZERO TO 24 OR SO YARDS. THIS MEANS THAT IN THIS RANGE I WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BOLT DROP USING THE TOP RETICLE. HOWEVER THE FLATTER SHOOTING WILL ALSO MEAN THAT THE SECOND RETICLE FROM THE TOP WILL BE FOR A MUCH FURTHER DISTANCE BACK THAN WHAT I AM USED TO WITH EVEN THE FASTEST CROSSBOWS IN THE PAST. THIS IS THE CROSSBOW PACKAGE TO BUY THIS YEAR IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT. BARNETT MAKES MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE CROSSBOW PACKAGES WHICH I AM SELLING ELSEWHERE ON EBAY, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE COIN THEN 345 FEET PER SECOND FROM THE SECOND BEST BARNETT XBOW, THE REVOLUTION AVI, TO THE SAME SPEED FROM THE THIRD BEST BARNETT XBOW, THE QUAD 400 AVI, TO THE FOURTH BEST BARNETT BOW, THE WILDCAT C5 CAMO AT 320 FPS WILL BE JUST FINE FOR YOU. BUT AGAIN IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, THIS IS THE ONE TO BUY THIS YEAR. NO OTHER MAKER HAS THE LINEUP THAT BARNETT HAS BROUGHT TO THIS YEAR'S MARKET. I STILL SELL OTHER MAKERS CROSSBOWS, DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT FOR WHAT I RECOMMEND, THIS IS IT.

I GOT STARTED IN IT BECAUSE I WAS INJURED AND I COULDN'T FIND A DEALER WHO KNEW ANYTHING PERSONALLY ABOUT CROSSBOWS. I WOULD ASK HOW DOES THIS ONE SHOOT, AND THE RESPONSE I WOULD GET WAS THIS ONE SHOOTS PRETTY GOOD ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY REP. THIS DID NOT SATISFY ME. SO I STARTED MY OWN BUSINESS AND SINCE I HUNT WITH CROSSBOWS EXCLUSIVELY IT BECAME A NATURAL THING FOR ME TO PASS ON MY EXPERIENCES TO THOSE JUST STARTING IN CROSSBOW HUNTING AND THOSE JUST INJURED AND NEEDING TO SWITCH TO CROSSBOW HUNTING.I HAVE MADE EVERY DUMB MISTAKE YOU CAN MAKE. I HAVE FRACTURED MY WRIST BY NOT USING THE CRANK COCKING DEVICE CORRECTLY, AND I HAVE DRYFIRED A BRANDNEW CROSSBOW RUINING BOTH LIMBS AND THE STRING WHICH WAS QUITE EXPENSIVE. I KNOW THE STUFF YOU WILL NEED TO HUNT WITH. AND I USE MY DEALERSHIP TO TRY THE NEW BOWS OUT FOR THE YEAR, AND TO SEE IF I WOULD ACTUALLY WANT TO HUNT WITH THEM. BEST OF ALL I KNOW THE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW TO HUNT WITHOUT HURTING YOURSELF OR YOUR BUDDIES. AND TO HUNT SUCCESSFULLY. FIRST NEVER COCK YOUR BOW IN A TREESTAND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CRANK COCKING DEVICE ON YOUR BOW. ALWAYS COCK IT ON THE GROUND AND PUT A ROPE ON IT, AND DRAG IT UP TO YOU IN THE TREESTAND AFTER YOU ARE SITUATED WITH EVERYTHING ELSE IN PLACE. NEVER PUT A BOLT ONTO THE XBOW UNTIL YOU ARE IN THE TREESTAND, THE XBOW IS IN YOUR HANDS, AND YOU ARE READY TO START HUNTING. USE A RANGE FINDER TO LASE AROUND YOU SO THAT YOU WILL KNOW THREE DIFFERENT RANGES OF RINGS. THAT IS, IN YOUR MIND PICK OUT THREE RINGS AROUND YOUR STAND AT DISTANCES THAT YOUR CROSSBOW RETICLES ARE SET AT. THEN TRY TO MEMORIZE THESE RINGS OF TREES/SHRUBS,STUBS, AND BRANCHES SO THAT WHEN THE DEER COME INTO VIEW YOU WILL ALREADY KNOW THAT THAT PARTICULAR TREE IS IN THE 35 YARD RING SO YOU WILL USE THE THIRD RETICLE DOWN ON YOUR SCOPE. OR THE 25 YARD RING SO YOU WILL USE THE SECOND RETICLE DOWN. YOU GET THE IDEA. YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE MY DISTANCES EITHER. WHEN YOU SET UP YOUR BOW, YOU CAN SET THE FIRST (TOP) RETICLE TO WHATEVER POINTBLANK RANGE YOU WANT. BE IT 15 YARDS, 19 YARDS, ETC. THEN FIRE THE BOW AT LONGER RANGES AT YOUR TARGET AND SEE WHAT DISTANCE THE NEXT RETICLE DOWN IS SET FOR. THEN THE NEXT RETICLE DOWN, ETC. UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE ALL FIVE RETICLES. FOR MYSELF I NEVER USE MORE THAN THE TOP THREE RETICLES BECAUSE THE AREA I HUNT IS A JUNGLE AND THERE ARE NO SHOTS LONGER THAN FORTY YARDS. AFTER HUNTING FOR THE SESSION, BE IT MORNING OR NIGHT, UNLOAD THE BOLT FROM THE BOW. USE THE ROPE TO PUT IT BACK ON THE GROUND STILL COCKED. AFTER GETTING DOWN FROM THE TREE I TAKE MY BOW BACK TO CAMP ON THE FOUR WHEELER AND THEN LOAD A BOLT ONTO IT AND FIRE IT INT0 A TARGET THERE. THIS IS ALSO MY PRACTICE FOR THE DAY. YOU DON'T NEED TO PRACTICE MUCH WITH A CROSSBOW BECAUSE IT IS LIKE SHOOTING A RIFLE WITH A SCOPE ON TOP. I ALSO GET THE QUESTION AS TO HOW LONG YOU CAN LEAVE THE BOW COCKED. SOME MANUFACTURERS SAY ONLY A FEW HOURS, SOME A DAY OR SO. I HAVE PERSONALLY LEFT A BOW COCKED FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS, AND HAD THAT BOW FIRE AT 99 PER CENT OF ITS ALREADY KNOWN SPEED. THAT BOW WAS A BARNETT RC-300. JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW LONG I COULD LET IT COCKED WITHOUT HURTING IT. YES I CHRONO'D IT AND IT FIRED AT 99 PER CENT OF ITS FORMER SPEED AFTER HAVING BEEN COCKED FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS. WEIRD. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THAT FOR YOU THOUGH. I JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE AN EXTRA LEFT AROUND HERE THAT WASN'T SELLING AND WAS USED TO BOOT. SO I TRIED THIS EXPERIMENT. ANYWAY, FOR A TARGET, I NEVER RECOMMEND BAG TARGETS, ONLY BLOCK STYLE TARGETS SUCH AS THE YELLOWJACKET FROM MORRELL AND THE SIX SHOOTER FROM MORRELL. I PERSONALLY DO NOT FIRE FIELDTIPS OR TARGET TIPS EITHER. I USE ONLY THE BROADHEADS I WILL HUNT WITH TO DO MY PRACTICE SHOOTING. SO I MAKE SURE THE BLOCK TARGET I USE IS RATED BOTH FOR CROSSBOWS, AND FOR BROADHEADS. DO NOT DRYFIRE YOUR CROSSBOW AS THIS WILL NO DOUBT RUIN IT AND ALSO VOID YOUR WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY ON ALL TOP CROSSBOWS IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME: ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON THE LIMBS, TRIGGER GROUP, AND STOCK. THE WEARING ITEMS SUCH AS THE STRINGS AND CABLES ARE NOT COVERED. NOR IS SHIPPING TO THE FACTORY. NEGLECT AND DAMAGE FROM DISUSE ARE NOT COVERED. AND WE DEALERS ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO DO WARRANTY WORK ON CROSSBOWS. YOU WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE MANUFACTURER FOR THAT. ALTHOUGH THERE IS VERY LITTLE WARRANTY WORK DONE FOR THAT MATTER AT ALL. 99PER CENT PLUS OF THE WARRANTY WORK IS DONE IN THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. AFTER THAT THESE THINGS SEEM TO LAST A LONG TIME. I STILL HAVE MY ORIGINAL RC 300 BARNETT CROSSBOW WHICH IS 16 YEARS OLD, AND FIRES AND WORKS AS GOOD AS THE FIRST YEAR I HAD IT.SO NOW THAT THE PREDATOR IS HERE, I WILL TELL YOU THAT AFTER SHOOTING IT, IT IS ALL THAT I HAVE WAITED FOR FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET IT TO MARKET, BUT 375 FPS AT THIS PRICE IS UNHEARD OF FROM ANY OTHER MAKER OF FINE CROSSBOWS. AND BARNETT IS THE LARGEST PRODUCER OF CROSSBOWS IN THE WESTERN WORLD. PLEASE DON'T LET YOURSELF GET SUCKERED INTO BUYING ONE OF THOSE "GENUINE 150 LB. HUNTING CROSSBOW" ADVERTISED ON SOME OF THESE EBAY WEB PAGES. YOU CAN TELL WHICH ONES I MEAN BY THEIR LACK OF A BRAND NAME AND THE MADE IN CHINA TAG. AT LEAST GET ONE OF THE BIG NAME CROSSBOWS SUCH AS HORTON, TENPOINT, PARKER, STRYKER, ETC....   WHY BUY SOMETHING TWICE WHEN ONCE WILL DO?EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.  ALSO I SELL CARBON BOLTS FOR THIS BOW AND OTHERS. I ALSO HAVE CRANKS FOR THE OTHER BARNETT BOWS SUCH AS THE REV AVI, THE QUAD 400, AND THE WILDCAT C5 CAMO, AND ALSO I HAVE THE ROPE COCKERS FOR THESE BOWS. AND IF YOU HAVE MADE UP YOUR MIND AGAINST BUYING A BARNETT I ALSO SELL OTHER BRANDS. JUST NOT AS MANY.GOOD HUNTING AND STAY SAFE.BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET, AND WHAT IS BEHIND IT ALSO.STAY SAFE OUT THERE. CROSSBOWS CAN KILL DEER VERY EASILY SO THEY WILL DO A FINE JOB ON PEOPLE TOO SO DON'T POINT IT AT ANYONE YOU ARE NOT INTENDING TO SHOOT. i will not ship to any address other than the confirmed address given to me by paypal when you pay using paypali will only ship to your confirmed credit card address where you receive your bills in the maili require an indirect signature for all crossbow deliveries; it is up to you to handle things from your end-this means have your neighbor sign for it, or have the driver deliver it to you when you know you will be home, or arrange with fedex to pick it up at your fedex place. i do this not to inconvenience anyone but in order to prevent both you and i from being the victims of credit card and other kinds of fraud. i lost two bows to thieves this way in the early days of my selling them. and i am sure you want the kind of dealer who will make sure that someone else isn't using your card and having the bow shipped to their own home. please be sure to let me have a phone number for fedex to reach you when the package is at ready to be delivered in case they cannot find you; and please please don't give me a post office box address as fedex will not ship to a post office box. i use fedex for most shipments because of the great deal they give to the national shooting sports federation of whom i am a member. fedex supports dealers and shooting sports. you can't say that about all big corporations anymore.SCREMR Place a Bid!
