barnett revoloution

[mikej]

Welcome to the forum GD!

When I began shopping for a crossbow in 2003 the Barnett was the first one I looked at. My knee jerk reaction was flimsy. Like getting 200 horsepower from a 100 horsepower engine...doable but not smart.

My machinist buddy sez: "As performance goes up...reliability goes down". He also says this is true for any machine.

Maybe Barnett is trying to change their ways. A good place for them to start would be to build a crossbow that is absolutely bomb proof and forget about speed/marketing.

Poor/flimsy design can not be repaired. If the same problem keeps coming back, i.e. the bow keeps blowing up...it can't be repaired. Something that never worked correctly to begin with isn't broke, it never worked in the first place and can't be "repaired", period.
