I got back into crossbows since my new subdivision does not allow rifle fire. 
Over run with Axis and White tail which is a good problem with 6 acres.
Over on the CrossBow board a lot of the board is excited about a deal on the Barnett XP 350 and the XP 370. People say these are the same bow except the x350 was made for Walmart and sells now for 203 on line unless you can find one on sale at a store. the XP370 costs ~280$. People over there say it is the same bow and the only thing different is the name Barnett painted on it and the cost difference.
I picked one up for the grandkids and it is nice 6 pound weight and 7.6 with a Raven scope. There is a red/green three dot scope that comes with the bow.
My crony gave me 352-353 for 8 shots shooting a 20", 325 grain bolt.
Accurate- yes I was able to shoot at 20 and 30 yards off a front sand bag to get two arrows near touching or side by side.
The trigger is the best I have used. Breaks clean about 3-3.5 pounds with no creep or grind.
https://www.crossbownation.com Barnett subforum if you are interest.
Downside no string or bow dampners though sound test by a board member showed about average shot sound. You wonder how those old bows and crossbows worked back when no one had all these extras on them.
Let me know what you think or if you own one. Jim
