[QUOTE="Atchman2, post: 5604889, member: 10762"] I have had a Barnett Jackal for about a decade. I pretty much only use it for hunting turkeys and honestly it has been deadly. I upgraded it to a scope, added some dampeners to make it quieter, a sling and even a nicer quiver. My last addition was to add my HD camera to the top of it to record my hunts. Sadly, on Saturday I was creeping in on some Kansas turkeys in the dark. I stepped on a stick and it rolled out from under my boot. I fell squarely on top of my poor crossbow utterly crushing the trigger area. It broke the camera into a billion pieces. The flashlight in my pocket broke, and the worst thing was it broke one of my ribs! Well the good thing is, that I get a new crossbow and I salvaged the upgrades off of my other one. I ordered another Barnett, since this one has faithfully served me for over 10 years. I ordered the Explorer 400, which uses the same size arrows as my Jackal. It should be here in Kansas on Thursday. Hopefully the turkeys will spread out by then and I get a chance to shoot one with my new crossbow. I am excited about getting both a lighter and a much faster crossbow. I can even put my old scope on it if I don't like the provided one. [/QUOTE]
