BARNETT CROSSBOW QUIVER PLUS

You can switch between either green or red dots. Arrow quiver can be quickly detached from the stock.18″ arrows will also work with this crossbow, though I do recommend using the 20″ for better accuracy.Arrows are very durable and did not break nor bend in the slightest even after hundreds of impacts from close (20 yard) range.Package includes 3 Easton arrows, 20″ each, with screw-in field points (as opposed to glued-in).Overall: possibly the most accurate budget crossbow I’ve ever shot. Very stable and excellent distribution of weight, making it easy to hold and aim.Beginners can achieve 1″-2″ arrow groups from 30-50 yards away.The scope is very easy to sight and it shouldn’t take more than 6-12 shots.Overall: for the price paid, you really get a lot. Kinetic Energy with the included arrows was 84 ft-lbs.According to my chronograph tests, it’s 308 FPS (when shooting the arrows inclued with the package).Definitely higher quality than I expected in this price range.Very solid and dependable, really like the feel.Looks like despite the low price, Barnett did not miss out on the details and used high quality materials. Anti-dry fire mechanism is a standard in the industry these days, so I wasn’t surprised about it being included in the Jackal.Bolt retainer is decent and gets the job done, though I can imagine I’ll need to replace it in a year or so (doesn’t seem as durable as in other, more expensive crossbows).
