Barnett Explorer XP400 Crossbow Package, with 2 Carbon Arrows, Lightweight Quiver

I had fallen and broken my other crossbow beyond the hope of repair. I had it a respectable 10 years, so it was getting old anyway. It was also a Barnett and I killed bunches of turkeys with it over the decade. I don't care which brand it is when a 250+ pound man falls on something, something has to give. It was my ribs and the firing mechanism of the crossbow. It could probably been repaired but I wanted a new one anyway.I searched all over Amazon and came to this model. It is SO light compared to my old one. SO compact! Plus it was 85 fps faster than my old crossbow. The first shot blew through my target! I'm going to have to upgrade my crossbow target.The only downside I've seen is the scope isn't that great. I mean it is acceptable, but I'm going to replace it with something better. I tried putting my old Tru Glo on it, but it wouldn't adjust up far enough for this new bow. Perhaps I will shim it and try it when I get home.Cocking this thing is a bear! I wouldn't buy this for a woman or child. It is just too difficult. If you cocked it for them you could. I would recommend getting the optional cranking device if you aren't very strong. I'm a big guy and frankly it has a pretty decent tug.When I compared it with my brother in law's higher end Barnett the weight, speed, and such were almost identical! The only major difference is that he has better glass on it. For the price you can't beat this deal.They make two lower powered models that are probably just as good. On top of that they are lighter by .2 pounds.

I've only shot at "test dummies" at 30ft and any soft target this hits the arrows are going straight through at this range. Even with the standard tips this crossbow is LETHAL! A well placed shot should easily take down a large deer or elk considering what I've shot through. Again I've only shot dummies but considering the arrows went cleanly through it without damage this is an excellent choice for deer hunting. I know bow hunters that hunt black bear and this crossbow could definitely work considering the draw weight and energy.The scope is great. I've made no adjustments and I've shot it almost a dozen times and it's still accurate. The only downside is that even with the crank, reloading takes time so follow up shots are slow. But, if you hit your target right, a follow up shot will not be necessary!

Accurate and quiet.

Christmas present…..thumbs up

I ordered this Barnett 400 XP for the upcoming three day hunt . it arrived in plenty of time, but On arrival noticed the box had been damaged from UPS in further examining the bow itself. I run across the lower limb has splintered. Do not know if this was from the box being damaged or from manufacture, but assuming it was probably a manufacture problem very disappointed now I’m having to send This item back instead of hunting with it this weekend

The crossbow is very fast flat shooting and accurate!! I at 20/ 40 yards!! Well built trigger is the best on market!!! The only downside is only get two arrows !! I would recommend it to everyone !!!

Awesome cross bow , Not cheap and not for faint of heart, the power of this Cross Bow is really intense. 50 yard shot is possible with practice. Flat shooter, 3 adjustments to the scope and I was in the center. My only problem was the quiver bracket broke , I’m looking for replacement parts nowTo draw this without a crank isn’t easy even with two hands, if you’re not sure of yourself invest in a crank

Still not fully sighted in. bolt cantilevers slightly on the front edge of riser.I'm concerned riser may be slightly bent.
