I have the Barnett XP380 and it’s awesome!! I took it this past deer hunting season and smoked a 8 point buck with no problem. Cant wait for the upcoming season!
Hello, may I ask if the strings of modern crossbows may have safety issues due to aging? Do I need to consider the issue of aging, or do I just need to pay attention to its cracks and fuzzing? If it is well maintained, used less, and stored properly, is it possible to store it for ten years?
Question for you. Have you heard anything back regarding the Barnett Xp 380 in regard to catastrophic limb failure? I put 35 bolts through my brand new one. and while cocking back the 36th bolt the limb snapped. I am trying to contact Barnett directly but I'm not getting much back from them regarding a potential design flaw causing the high potential near miss limb failure. have you or anyone else heard anything regarding this? I have found a few people online with the same failure on the brand new bow. This is a warning for anyone thinking of purchasing this crossbow.
@@Bulletarrow93 I do understand that. The intent was to use it as an entry level bow to see if it was something I was interested in before I committed to a $1500 crossbow. But budget crossbow or not. When it comes to the potential and severity of risk injury from a limb failure with a face in the line of fire, it seems baffling they are able to get away with such craftsmanship, else they spend their entire profit margin in court settling injury claims.
@@lieffers111 yes i agree.. the bows made in China have more lemons then the American company's and they don't back there bows the same, but when you only pay 250 or 300 you get what you payed for
Hello, I would like to ask you how many grains of arrows are suitable for hunting with the xp380. The basic requirement is that it will not damage the crossbow
*Don't shoot any bolts out of any crossbow under 450gr* Yes I know arrow speed will be reduced *slightly* but I assure you not enough to result in a failed kill shot. Simply adjust your point of impact and don't get caught up in the speed-hype. Trust me on this one. Your bow will last MUCH longer if you use a heavier arrow. And it will be quieter too. Sell your light bolts and buy new heavier ones. Good luck.
Hey, buddy, I have a new question to ask you. If I tighten the bolts too tightly in winter, will it damage the components in summer? Looking forward to your reply!
Cp400 is not that bad. I have a bearx constrictor cdx. As a back up crossbow in it shoots really well. I robinhood 5 bolts with it. At 40 yrds. Both are great shooting crossbows.

Bloodsport makes arrows for barnett. Bloodsport arrows have a 95 gr brass insert and 325 weight without practice tip
All the XP series are great
Only loud con is the adjustable stock
Once it's adjusted, tape it up with black hockey tape, no more noise. You're welcome.
I got one yesterday for 350$ you are spot on
I have one, it’s a great crossbow
"not editing that out" lol that's great
I got mine on clearance too. It was $233.53 out the door. Buuut, one of the cable ends at the bottom was frayed. I still got a good deal on it though.
You know all I can say that it is probably the best Chinese crossbow made and the trigger are really good when they work
I just got one with cocker handle and scope for 400 at Cabelas, great stuff
Very solid especially for the price
I picked 2 of these for $84 total at Walmart clearance. For a 40 dollar crossbow i love it
It will be the best 40 buck crossbow
I agree with u on the trigger.ive owned 3 other brands and Barnetts triggertec is hands down the best

I honestly have no clue. I would assume if maintenance regularly it should be ok
Okay, thank you very much
I drink when imn my shop too

It seems every budget crossbow has that problem with quality control

400 grains would be my suggestion
ok,thanks@@Bulletarrow93
thanks，What if I used 450 grains? I only have 450 grains of arrows on hand now@@Bulletarrow93

Is the expedition 380 and the explorer 380 the same bow? I'm looking for the axle to axle cocked measurement on the expedition 380?
Probably is but I don't know for sure

I don't think it would. But you should always tighten to spec
@@Bulletarrow93 ok，thanks
Is it still decent im about to get one for my first bow, is it decent for entry bow? Thanks.
@@DevonReid-m1c I believe so. I have switched back to a compound bow for personal reasons but I no the guy I sold it to is still using it
Just bought mine for 322 before tax total was 345.87

The cp400 is now my brother's crossbow. I like it but I like the barnett better. It's a personal choice I was just giving my experience on both.
You said it right both are great shooting bows
Why doesn't it have a stop chord?
That years model didn't have one
$ in Canada 700 with acrank & no arrows , how's it stack up to the cp sniper 370 ?
The trigger is way better and it is way better balanced but it is slower and a little wider.
$580cad right now, no crank..don't need it, go to the gym instead
Does it come with cable slider???
Mine did not
Found 1 left at Walmart for 128
Guy needs practice I’m out 1 minute in
