Good Buy,November 12, 2009
By bigbucktxfrom Dallas, TX
Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money Disadvantages: scope difficult to sight in at 30 - 40 & 50 yds

Good Performance,October 21, 2009
By TonyCFLfrom Central Florida
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money
"I purchased the C5 Wildcat crossbow package for this archery season. Sighting it in was easy with the red dot scope that came with the package. At 35 yards, I was able to consistantly hit a 2" bullseye. I took a deer with it already this season. The shot was at 20 yards. The bolt passed through cleanly (I use Muzzy 125 4 blade broadheads) and buried up to the fletching in the creek bottom soil I was hunting. The deer ran less than 15 yards. Great package and great performance for the price. Not a problem to cock the 150# draw with fingers. It is even easy to cock while in your tree stand."

Great First Time Crossbow,October 19, 2009
By Turtlemanfrom Rogers, AR
Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Value for money
"I bought this bow a few days after rifle season ended and had it sighted in no time. I've taken 2 deer with it and have had clean pass-thru shots both time. Very powerful, very accurate. I strongly suggest using a carbon fiber arrow with this bow. I've been extremly happy with this bow."

Nice crossbow,October 17, 2009
By huntandfishfanfrom Maryland Eastern Shore
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Value for money, accurate Disadvantages: paint wearing off
"I have never shot a corssbow in my life, but wanted to participate in a management hunt on Assateague Island National Seashore. I bought the bow 2 days before the hunt. It took 2 shots at 20 yards to sight in, then I took a few practice shots at 30 and 40 yards. All were on target. I got my first deer with a crossbow on the second day of the hunt. A 28 yard shot, and the deer only ran about 50 yards."

Great Value, Accurate,September 19, 2009
By NyteRyderfrom South Central PA
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Value for money, accurate
"The 3rd shot out of the box was in the bulls eye. Very accurate - offhand I can consistently hit a 3" bulls-eye at 20 yards. The sights have 5 brightness modes and can be set for red or green dots to match existing light conditions. It carries and balances well. I can't wait to try it on an upcoming deer hunt in Ohio."

Great Product,June 23, 2009
By JoeBinVAfrom Williamsburg, VA
Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money
"Purchased last summer for around 300 on sale and it has been worth every penny. Got involved in a managment hunt and out of the 16 taken by 5 hunters including myself, the wildcat took 12. All kinds of circumstances wet, cold, moving, still, day, night; it worked great in all conditions. Just don't forget to turn off red dot scope. I plan on upgrading to the Predator this fall if the wife lets me, if not I'm very confident in the Wildcat."

Great Crossbow,June 18, 2009
By SteveDfrom Denham Springs, LA
Advantages: Durability, Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Value for money
"This is my first crossbow and love it.. It only took a couple of shots to sight it in to 40 yards. I choose it for the speed as it is faster than most of the more expensive crossbows I was looking at. The salesman at the Denham Springs, LA store was extremely helpful. The Flambeau Stingray Hard Crossbow Case works great on the back of a 4 wheeler."

Great Starter Crossbow,May 13, 2009
By Cephas1559from Lancaster, PA
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Value for money
"This is my first crossbow and I will say that I'm hooked. It only took a couple of shots to sight it in and it shot true from 15 yards to 40 yards with the same setting. Within the first week of getting it I was able to take a nice doe. I definately recommend this for anyone who wants to start hunting with a crossbow."

Great Crossbow for the $$,December 5, 2008
By BigMikeIFDfrom Avon, IN
"I have never shot a crossbow or a bow in my life. I decided I wanted to extend my hunting season this year. Purchased the Wildcat C5 along with a target block, took about 20 shots to get the red dot scope zeroed in at 38 yards, after that it was dead on with G5 Montec Pre-Season Broadheads(100g) up to about 62 yards. The price on this crossbow for the quality is great."

A WONDERFUL CROSSBOW,November 12, 2008
By Godfather1from Des Moines, IA
"I purchased the crossbow and knew nothing about it. John the salesperson that I was working with Council Bluffs, IA was a big help. I got to go into the range and shoot a lot of arrows, I asked him to hold it for me. I told him I would be back later. He had also had it sighted in.
The only problem was the it was crossthreaded on the scope. I will say Barnett made it right with me, they replaced it with no problem. I was glad of that, but the store had it together when I purchased it.
It is a nice bow and my friends all like it. You need a permit to use in Iowa and I happen to have one. I like it and it is sweet too."

very good crossbow,October 19, 2008
By haggertyonefrom WEST VIRGINIA
"I bought this crossbow at bass pro shops in hampton va. they put it together for me and took me in the range and we sighted it in. i used this crossbow opening day and took a spike buck from 30 yards away. the arrow went clean through. deer ran 20 yards and dropped.i was hunting in bluemont va. hopefully west va will soon let you hunt with crossbows.. But its a great crossbow and is very light.Anyone looking for a great crossbow you can stop looking because you have found it."

What a steal!,September 15, 2008
By Long5from Fishersville, VA
"My son wanted to start bow hunting with me but to young to draw back compound bow. We bought it jointly and love it. Can't wait to see his first shot at some live game. Just enjoy the time we share together shooting it. Very fast and accurate. Easy to assemble and ready to shoot in about 5 minutes. Now I bet the compound will never leave the case!!"
