well I guess that wasent such a great deal after all !! I was shooting it a few times this morning out of my rifle rest, when it fired by it's self ??? The bolt did hit the target but wow what a shock ! I looked it over real well and shot it 4 more time with out a problem. Well on the fith shot I cocked the bow put it in the rest , and as I started to slide the bolt down the rail ,(almost 3/4 down) the bitch went off , I almost riped my fingers off the bolt blew up and a limb cracked sending the cam flying god knows ware. I went to the hospital and luckely it just dislocated my index and middle fingers , But boy does it hurt thou
I just got off the phone with BARNETT and they said how sorry they were and to send it back and they will look it over and fix it or replace it, I said you are just lucky some one didnt get hurt real bad or killed , I think I recall a trigger problem with them before does any one else ?? well time to get another ice pack .

We have read so many threads similar to this and Barnett's blowing up. I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole.
Sorry to hear about your injury...it could have been worse.
Get some ice on those fingers.

My Barnett Quad 400 did the same 3 years ago. I had it repaired and sold it on E-bay.The tech that did the repair said it happens all the time with Barnett.The string and cables must be replaced every 90 shots.
He said to look at the Excalibur line. I purchased an exorcet and have been using it happily ever after.
Maybe a good lawsuit against them is what they need before someone get's killed. You'd think it'd be in their best interest to either change design's or quit producing an inferior, dangerous product.
