Barnett Jackal Crossbow

About this product

Product Information

Elegance meets performance in this intricately designed Barnett Jackal crossbow. It boasts an innovative military-style stock design that’s compact and lightweight. The crossbow is shipped disassembled for safety, but it only takes approximately five minutes to assemble the bolts with an Allen wrench, and an instruction guide is included to make setup faster and easier.The 7.7-pound crossbow features Barnett's ADF MIM trigger that provides a smooth 3.5-pound trigger pull with a 150-pound total draw weight to send arrows flying at speeds of up to 315 feet per second. It features a quad-limb assembly, a divided foregrip for comfortable hand placement, a set of high-energy wheels, and a synthetic string for maximum power and ferocity. Its anti-vibration foot stirrup increases its efficiency while the red-dot scope, measuring 4 by 32 millimeters, helps you to improve the accuracy of your archery shots. The high-definition camo finish is attractive and useful for helping you blend into your surroundings. The packaging also comes with accessories, including three 20-inch hunter arrows and a built-in quiver.Unlike compound bows, you aren't limited by your dominant hand when choosing one of these crossbows. The high-energy Barnett Crossbow Jackal works as well in your left hand as it does in your right. The premium red dot sight is added to make it easy to line up shots at great distances. Three 20-inch arrows are included with purchase, but you may decide you need extras. The Barnett Jackal crossbow is compatible with a variety of Barnett accessories that are purchased separately. For example, the crossbow comes with a sling mount already installed, but you may also buy different Jackal sling attachments to add to your setup. Some archers may opt to add a cocking device to the bow to make it easier to load. Barnett also makes compatible devices, such as a roping accessory, which make it simpler to cock the crossbow when in the field. With the addition of a cocking device, hunters as young as 13 years old cock the crossbow with ease. Additionally, the light weight of the weapon makes it easy to carry for extended periods of time. Hunters and archers that have used the Barnett Jackal Crossbow for some time find it very useful, and they enjoy its power stroke. With proper care and maintenance, Barnett crossbows remain accurate even after many uses. It is a great crossbow for target shooting, fishing, and even point-and-stalk hunting in the woods. Barnett crossbows have enough power to take out large prey like whitetail deer, and it is easy to use on many targets as well. If you're brave, take this model elk hunting with the addition of broadheads that are the recommended size for elk. Whether you are just starting out with archery, need a bow dedicated for fishing, or are looking to add to your arsenal, the Barnett Jackal Crossbow is an excellent choice.

Great Starter Bow
This is an awesome value for a sub $350 crossbow. I bought two of these for my adult sons and we have shot 100+ bolts through them so far. The bow is a little on the heavy side, which is expected for a bow in this price range. I have seen the published weight anywhere from 6-8 lbs for the setup that has the red/green dot scope, quiver and 3 arrows included. I added a shoulder strap and the total weight is 9 lbs. The scope comes with 3 vertical dots for sighting different ranges. We sighted 30, 40, and 50 yds. The red/green dot sight is a really awesome sight. It allows you to easily sight on a moving target due to a wide field of view. It is also very easy to sight on a target with both eyes open, unlike closing one eye to sight a reticle scope. However, the one advantage a reticle scope has, you don't have to turn it on to use it. If you jump a deer using the red/green dot scope, you have to turn he scope on, then take the bow off safety. You could carry the bow without the safety on to eliminate a step, but I prefer safety on. I have a multi-reticle scope and it has 5 different sighting lines, but I think I like the red/green dot better. The only other negative I can think of is the bow is pretty loud, which could be an issue if taking a shot longer than 30-40 yds.

wouldn't buy from them
Shot bow 10 times or less had cables fray on me they blamed it on me not putting cable guard on which was installed but they would sell me the cables for it but wouldn't refund because it has been shot says it's 180 lbs but actually 150 lbs could buy 150 lbs cheaper than what this one is

Well made, accurate, strong buy recommendation
Never had or shot any kind of a bow before. Have only shot this crossbow 20 or so times to sight in, but surprisingly repeatable and accurate, I can group 3 arrows at 30 yards easily within a 1 1/2 " circle from a bench rest - I am sure accomplished archers can do much better, but for a 1st timer I was amazed. Sighted in first with field point target arrows to get it right on, then with a broadhead target tip. The broadhead tip was heavier than the field point and shot about 4" lower - make sure you sight in with the actual tip you are going to hunt with, don't rely just on the field points for sighting in. First 4 times I tried cocking the bow by hand. My finger tips went numb after the 4th time. Got a cocking rope right away (does not come with one), and extra wax. I also bought an aftermarket case and 5 extra bolts - glad I did. One very nice feature is the trigger. The safety is automatically on when you cock the bow. Trigger pull is very smooth. As the on-line ratings say, the bow is noisy to shoot, but a minor issue to me. It's also heavier than I thought - about the same weight as my hunting rifle. In summary, very happy with the quality and well thought out features of this crossbow - my recommendation is a strong buy.

Barnett Jackal crossbow
This is my first crossbow. It is a pain to cock which I guess is to expected of a crossbow. It was very accurate the first time I tried it out with the red dot scope. It was pretty easy to assemble, basically just bolt the bow to the stock. It's a little heavier then I thought it would be. Since I have purchased I have checked into "In-line draw lock" for my compound bow and wonder if it might have been a better option. I have a bad shoulder and some back problems, and I have trouble cocking it even with the cable accessory that you can buy with it. I have rigged up a device where instead of holding it down with my foot and pulling up, connecting the cocking cable to my rack has the stirrup about 18 inches off the ground and I use my weight pushing down with my foot to cock it, instead of pulling up with my back. All in all, a nice crossbow and fun to shoot.

Barnett Jackal
This crossbow is very good for someone who is wanting to get into using a crossbow as a hobby whether it is for fun at the range or going hunting. This model is very well balanced, light and powerful. What I like is that it comes as a complete kit: instructions, crossbow stock, riser, scope, detachable quiver, 3 crossbow bolts and lube wax. The best part is that it is not an expensive crossbow. It is very affordable and practical. The only recommendations I would suggest is to purchase a rope cocking device from a safety perspective. It is better for the crossbow because the pull force of the string is being evenly distributed and it is also safer for your fingers. I would also recommend purchasing more lube wax as well because if you intend to use it frequently, you will need to relube the strings and track per the instruction manual every 5 shots. A crossbow bag would be another good add on item as it is important to keep the crossbow free of dust and debris when storing along with a sling for out in the field. The only issues I had with this crossbow is the bolt for the detachable quiver was too short and thus the quiver was loose. I simply went to the local hardware store and purchased a longer bolt in the same size and that seemed to fix the issue. Barnett has excellent customer service. They have answered any and all my questions along with having all the above accessories. I have enjoyed this crossbow very much because it is extremely accurate, looks great and easy to handle. The stock fits comfortably, the sight was easy to get aligned and the finger guards provide great protection along with the fire safety. I would highly recommend it for a beginner who does not want or need to spend a lot of money on a crossbow, but wants a great product.

Really nice bow
This is a great bow. Very sturdy. Not totally lightweight, but I can carry it through the woods alright. As a female, I do have a hard time pulling it back. Purchased the rope cocking device, that makes it a lot easier, but it's still pretty hard. Other than that, very accurate and powerful. Can't wait to hunt with it. Might need a partner to cock it for me, but other than that, would highly recommend this crossbow.

Best bow for the money
Very fast durable bow, comes with everything you need to start except a cocking rope. Very accurate, I almost shot through one of my arrows like Robin Hood at 30 yards. For the money it cannot be beat.

Nice intro crossbow for the $$
Having only paid $200 for this crossbow, I can't really complain. It's held up well so far, shoots straight, etc. I made this purchase being new to crossbows, and not sure if I would stick with it. I plan on using this for a few seasons, then upgrading if I'm still wanting to crossbow hunt. No complaints, I bought this knowing it's a cheaper model, and wasn't expecting a $1000 equivalent. It will definitely kill deer and turkey with ease.

GREAT CROSSBOW at a good price ... Thank you!
This is a great crossbow ... a quality product ... VERY powerful ... sold at a good price ... new, in the original box ... everything was there ... red dot sight was a 3 dot sight ... takes a little assembly which for a novice took a little work and one call to Barnett (who was VERY helpful). Fast, accurate shippping. Product was as advertised ... and really BETTER than expected. Thank you VERY much!
