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

Warranty

Barnett Crossbows - Warranty
Original review Nov 17, 2023

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.

Resolved: Crank cocking device problem

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Dec 13, 2023

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

Original review Dec 06, 2023
I bought a crank cocking device for my Whitetail Pro STR and it has two strings. One on one side and one on the other.

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.

Loss:
$130
Pros:
  • Well made and powerful
Cons:
  • 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.

Terrible customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
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

I just bought your hyper whitetail 410, love the bow but your scope is broken it will not adjust for me to sight it in. I called scheels out of Eau Claire where I purchased it and they said to contact you. I spent almost 2,000 on your name brand equipment yesterday, please help me get this straightened out. Id love to give your products a chance.

Preferred solution: Would like a new sight that works also would be nice to get gas refund cause I drove over 3.5 hours to get this exact bow, but sight would be nice or maybe any other deals or coupons, if the bow don’t work out I’m at a loss.

User's recommendation: Check your equipment before purchasing if allowed,
