We have been using a Barnett RC-150 for several years to biopsy whales. The biopsy arrow is modified at the end with suntactic foam to prevent deep penetration into the whale. The biopsy tip is about the size of a bic pen cap. Our intent is to collect the sample with minimal disturbance of the whale. Barnett no longer makes the RC-150. Can you suggest a quality replacement bow. Cost is not a major concern. Quality and effectiveness are the key parameters.
My daughter is going to be 10 this year so for her birthday I decided its time to get her in the woods. I have been doing a ton of research on crossbows every one I google usually leads me to your site, With that being said one thing I cant seem to find is the LOP for any of the crossbows I am interested in. If you could help on these 3 crossbows that would be great.
Barnett Lady Whitetail Hunter
Barnett Recruit Compound Crossbow
PSE Vector 310 Crossbow
Also what would you guys recommend for a first time crossbow user I want something she can grow into but safety and enjoyment are my 2 main concerns. Your information on the Recruit seems very positive but some reviews say the string breaks after 2 or 3 shots has me a bit worried. Thanks ahead of time for any help you can give.
co i use a longer arrow with my xr175 than the 16′ bolts it comes with
I see many crossbows for sale that are more than capable of shooting clean through a Missouri Whitetail at 30 yards. I am getting into Crossbow Hunting because I broke my wrist and can’t pull back a longbow to stay a Good Shooter. I also Gun Hunt. My weapon of choice is a 12-gauge Shotgun with 1oz slug. It usually does not go thru the deer but dead is dead. Why wouldn’t I want a crossbow that has enough power to shoot a bolt half way through a deer and let the broad head do more damage to vitals as the deer moves. I don’t care about how deep the arrow / bolt digs into the tree on the other side of the deer I am shooting.
I have a Sniper 370. I have read your all’s reviews and I have asked this question a dozen times all over the place and haven’t gotten a single comment. I am shooting a Sniper 370 and the bolts I am looking in to are 475 grains. I was hoping I could kind of get a way of seeing how much arrow drop I could expect at 40-50 yards.
I kneed a complete set of cables for crossbow Last Punch Mk-250. cost info and all associated info. Contact Phone # 618-240-5658
Do you have some industry insider information that would help me get in touch with anyone at Precision Arrow, LLC? I have one of their Inferno Wildfire crossbows with cracked limbs and just want to place an order for replacements if they are available. So far I’ve had no response to several emails and there is no phone number on their website. Thanks for the help.
I am really impressed with the precision and attention to detail on this site. Subsequently, I am asking for more information.
Shooting on a flat plane is described in great detail, do you have any information regarding the dynamics of an arrow from a tree stand?

My father bought me a parker challenger Crossbow but I have no idea what model it is can you give me a clue or a hint as to where to find this information
i’m looking for a hand crank for my firestorm 2

Hi Folks:
I have a Barnett, Delta Storm. I’ve had it since 1999. I don’t want to sell it or get another xbow but, I’m having trouble finding out the correct length of string to get for it and Barnett doesn’t support them any more. My original manual say’s 27-3/4″. A couple of web sites say 26-1/2″. I’d sure appreciate hearing from someone who knows. Thank You! Rick
I have recruit compound what is recommended bolt broadhead combined weight
You need to update your review of the CenterPoint Sniper 370. This crossbow no longer comes with an illuminated scope, which was one of the reasons I bought it in the first place. CeterPoint said that it was just a promotional item for the first 2 years.
Do you have any information on how the efficiency/energy of crossbows changes with time? I have a 3 year old crossbow that I know has reduced performance (been chronographed). I have replaced all the cables/strings, but it is still about 10% slower than 3 years ago (roughly 15% less kinetic energy). I expect some decline in “springiness” of the limbs, but I am not sure if this amount is normal. Is there some other part besides the cables/strings that may need to be replaced?
I received a Sniper 370 crossbow as a gift and it did not come with a warranty card or instruction manual. Where do I get o
them from
Recommended TOTAL bolt weight for BCX with FP or broadhead included?
Fifth try: composed offline and pasted in. It appears that the KE computer/calculator is based on arrow average velocity over distance instead of terminal velocity at the target regardless of distance. Since KE varies as the square of velocity, use of average velocity during flight over estimates KE at the target. For a bolt of mass = 400 grains and initial velocity = 300 fps with other parameters as provided by the system, the KE is over estimated by 12% at 50 yards. (See Arrow Speed Chart for terminal velocity at the target.)
Crossbow scope sighting in: Most crossbow scopes are one MOA scopes, so one click at 20 yards would move 1/5″. A 1.25 MOA scope would move 1/4″ per click at 20 yards. I haven’t seen a 1.25 MOA scope.
I see some call-outs for bolt-lengths on crossbows under the regulations page for various states.
Could you possibly generate a bolt/projectile regulations line for each state on here? I was using this site to search for bolt-lengths, so that I could get an idea of the best length bolts to purchase in order to use my bow in multiple states. This would be very helpful.
Was looking for string suppresser for the x-force blade. I see that the piledriver has them, do they fit the x-force and if they do where can I buy them
I have had my center point sniper for three months now shoots great and very accurate..went out tonight to shoot and it will not cock!!! tried it on fire and on safe…string will not catch??? now what????

My son limb on his sniper 370 crossbow cracked how do we get it replaced thru warranty first time he shot it ?
i have a carbon express interceptor and one of the limbs are bad . Who do I need to contact for repair . aaaprox 3-4 years old
I am looking into crossbow hunting because of rotator cuff problems in my shoulders. I don’t know if I can even use a rope style cocking device, so I was wondering if you could give me a little list of crossbows that would have a mechanical (crank) device or a mechanical device that would work for different crossbows? Thanks for the help.
Love the “arrow” ballistics!! Do you have any calculations on wind speed effect on arrow travel?? Thanks
Thanks for the kind words, Eric. Sorry, our calculator doesn’t currently take wind speeds into account.
NH Seniors can use crossbow in Archery Season
I HAVE A BUCK COMMANDER BCX EXTREME AND WOULD LIKE TO INCORPORATE MY ATN SIGHT 11 3-14X TO IT. ONE OF THE REQUESTED DATA QUESTIONS I NEED FOR ACCURATE SHOOTING IS THE BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT . COULD YOU PLEASE FURNISH ME WITH THE ANSWER .I BELIEVE IT TO BE LESS THAN 1.0…ALSO , I BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT RELATED TO MOMENTUM ? THANK YOU
Can you send me information and pricing on the Parker Concorde crossbow that runs on a CO2 cartridge and how much is additional cartridge. Thank you very much.
I’m planning a Cape buffalo hunt with a Ravin R29 crossbow that shoots at 430 ft/second and has a draw weight of 230 pounds. Their bolts only weigh 300 grains and with a 315 grain Grizzly Stik Ashby broadhead I will have a total arrow weight of 615 grains. Will this give me enough momentum for an ethical cape buffalo kill? Ashby and other suggest a minimum arrow weight of 650-700 grains with a preference for 900 grains to get the required momentum and penetration for an ethical kill. What is your perspective?
Challenger II: How can you tell about the small rockers? Also, w/Parker gone ,what’s the fix?
I have a sniper 370 in perfect condition, i thought about trading it for a stryker 380, it that a good trade? I read that stryker has had some poor results from string breakage with these, is that an issue? The Stryker is lighter and faster but not by much, keep the sniper or move on? Straight up even trade. Thanks
While cataloging a collection of edged weapons, I came across a piece I am having difficulty getting some information. I am told this item is a crossbow bolt (end, but not the shaft) that is East Asian, possibly, for a hand-held crossbow. I have a photo. The bolt is steel with a 3/4″ diameter at the end to hold the shaft. This piece was acquired many years ago from a museum (unknown to me) and still bears the catalog number, but no more information after that. Can you be of help in filling in some gaps, please?
Why do you not have anything related to the Bear Archery brand on this site?
I know that it is impossible to list every crossbow on the planet; however, I was quite surprised the that you did list the Killer Instinct 415 compound crossbow on your budget list of bows under $400.00. The FPS is 400. This bow is barebone like a Ducati motorcycle. It has a kinetic energy punch of over 130. I’ve been a Barnett guy (three Barnett crossbows) for years – not anymore.
will need to replace a limp can someone send me a email for the company to buy it.

Sorry this is for a CX Covert CX1 Model 20234 to replace a limps
The state i live in has a minimum axel to axel, uncocked. Is a summary of the info available anywhere?
looking for a way to return my cross bow that had a limb break after 10 shoots. hoping percision stands behind their product. hoping they replace it cause it was a x-mas gift.
I just brought the Barnett crossbows 400 and the string on it broke just in the middle of hunting for deer. I also took it in to be fixed and it is going to cost more than I thought it would and now I am not going to be able to repair it
I see you have high regard for the Centerpoint Sniper 370. Do you have any reviews on the Centerpoint Amped 415 or the Dagger 390?
Could you send me information Omni Parker Concorde crossbow that runs on a CO2 cartridge and how much is extra cartridge
hi,I´m from Venezuela, i have a jackal, one of the polycarbonate bars is broken, i don´t know what to do to get a spare one. can you help me?
Can somebody do a test to determine the quietest shooting and quietest cocking and quickest cocking crossbow for hunting. I want a crossbow that is as quiet when it shoots and when I cock it and that I can cock it quick with my bare hands for a quiet quick follow up shot. This whole rope and crank handle crap takes too long and is too noisy and cumbersome. I’m fine if the crossbow is at a lighter poundage and is slower feet per second. I’d like to see that kind of test so I can find the best hunting crossbow.
Can you target soot a crossbow in a residential neighborhood in SC?
Can your calculator be extended out to 100 yards? Particularly for crossbow shooting.
Thank you
On the crossbow kinetic energy page, the KE requirements chart’s vertical axis is marked Rainfall (mm). The scale might be correct, but you should probably fix the axis title.
Where can I get parts for my inferno fury II crossbow. I need a limb. Thank you.

Hi
I have a Wham-O powermaster 80lb. Crossbow and I’m trying to find out what was the length of bolt came with it and what was it made of wood aluminum or carbon?
Thank you
Google took to me to your Arrow Ballistics Calculator. I’ve been trying to create something similar in Excel for my arrow recipes. I was wondering if you would be willing to share the formulas you used? I’m primarily concerned with how a drag coefficient is established to determine the velocity at different distances. I’m about 20 years removed from college engineering classes and my calculus isn’t what it used to be. I have been using a chronograph and the values on this calculator are spot on.
