I've had mine since they made them legal,some folks will shoot them a few times & & think they can now make 50yard shots,if they couldn't make a 50 yard shot with a reg bow more than likely they cant with a xbow.range estimate is just as important with them as a reg bow,its hard to shoot behind you while in a treestand,i have seen several deer lost with a xbow & most were due to piss pore guessing of distance & a shot of doe fever ,bsl i dont consider what barnett charges cheap,i consider what some of the others selling as too expensive ,i will put mine up against any for accuracy.now weight & quietness it wont win but i knew that when i got it.my brother had a horton,setting in catossa 1 morning before daylite a limb broke for no reason ,my buddy that was using it said he thought a branch was falling on him ,ruined a good day of hunting but horton fixed it at no cost.mike243

so the rage 2 blade would work for the crossbow as well. good to hear. I was told that an expandable may deploy before it got to the target due to the force it is propelled from the crossbow with.

thanks for all the help guys.
