Frayed limbs on new xp 380 crossbow after 15 shots. And I have called customer service for 4 days and been on hold all day no one picks up and talks or returns emails or calls
I was shooting bow when I noticed limbs are fraying or splintering. I've called customer service and put on hold for hours for 2 days now and I'm leaving messages.
No one answered or returns calls or emails. I'm very upset with this . I'm glad I still had my old crossbow bone collector to hunt with.
The Barnett company needs to fix this problem with customer service. I guess I just wasted my money buying this crossbow.

Verified Reviewer | Belfast, Northern IrelandLimb cracked
I have to say, I'm nervous. I bought a used Quad 400 - a nice crossbow - and took it in to have a new string and even a crank put on it.
This was done after the season. I managed to take a nice 9 pt. Meanwhile, I contacted you guys and all I wanted were new limbs. So while I was waiting for a response, I purchased a new Barton x385.
You have me nervous. Did I make a mistake in choosing to buy from you if this is how customer service is?
I'm still waiting to know if you have limbs for my Quad 400. Meanwhile, the new one is still being shipped.

Verified ReviewerFirst time barrnett owner and honestly will probably never own another after spending almost 800 on the new hyper raptor I have yet to shoot the bow been nothing but problems with the cocking system I
The cocking system broke when trying to pull back the very first time so send in get a new one go to pull back again to maybe finally get sighted in seems bow opener is 8 days away now and of course that one breaks also so needless to say the cocking system on the bow is completely garbage for a bow that's the amount of this bow truly feel I should get some sort of credit or something for having to deal with this being so close to hunting season I did order the rope cocker as the bow didn't come with one so hopefully that is at least here before opener and then no more issues Acura
- I have had nothing but issues in the 3 weeks of owning
Preferred solution: Price reduction
Broken crank spool and string
Not sure what happened was cranking and string broke ?? Spool doesnt seem to turn only crank handle is ok .
User's recommendation: Not sure what the cause was

Verified ReviewerWarranty
I called and asked about an issue with a newly purchased crossbow, specifically the XP400, and was wondering if the discrepancy is covered by the warranty. The upper left limb has somehow peeled back fibers, greatly diminishing the integrity of the weapon system.
Sadly, i cannot attach a picture other than in the review section but the representative said it could take it to my local shop. Which I will do today or tomorrow as it is the last day for archery. The blemish begins, again, on the upper left limb starting an inch before the "B" in barnett and peels all the way down past the "T", creating a large trenched gouge through the entirety of the peeling.
I have not dropped, bumped, or been rough in any way and have only owned just over a month. Only firing to sight in the optic.

Verified Reviewer | Tarpon Springs, FloridaResolved: Crank cocking device problem
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I was about ready to leave for the courthouse to file a small claims case against Barnett Outdoors and UPS drove up.
I received a replacement unit of a different design. I wonder why. Their Customer Service is either backed up with problems units or they are working with a skeleton crew as C.S.
is extremely slow to respond. I first contacted them on 11/29/23 and I received the replacement on 12/10/23.
If I purchase another crossbow there is a 25% chance I'll choose Barnett
The strings at one end are attached to a spool in the stock and the other end goes through the pulley on the device and back to an anchor point on the stock. One string is longer by about 1/4 inch which causes the bracket that pulls the bow string back to be crooked and it rubs against the arrow rail. I reported this to Barnett and they said they'd send a replacement right away.
They never sent me a tracking number, I sent them three E-mails and no response. I'm going to have to go to small claims against them.
- Well made and powerful
- Crank cocking device string lengths dont match
Preferred solution: I want the replacement crank cocking device they said they were going to send. The season is ending soon and I still can't use the crossbow.
User's recommendation: For your own benefit, compare to other manufacturers befor you buy. Then, if you decide on a model, give it a thourough inspection to make sure everything is ok.
The bow fired unexpectedly and injured my fingers and now is useable
The Barnett game crusher crossbow 3.0 string holder in the firing position let go and fired unexpectedly and almost took my fingers off
- Break and fire unexpectedly
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

Verified ReviewerTerrible customer service
I ordered a bow before Christmas and paid for 2nd day air. It never got shipped.
I called and they gave me the standard apology and stated they will refund my shipping costs and send it overnight since I explained I was leaving for a hunting trip in 3 days. 2 days later I am now informed it won't arrive until tomorrow after my departure time.
I have to cancel my trip now. Horrible experience and will never order from them again
- Poor customer service
Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered
