Inexpensive crossbows

[wv67]

I’m gonna pick up one of these cheaper crossbows and I been looking at the killer instinct 405,415 and the center points 385 and some others from center point any of you fellas or ladies shoot any of these or the brand. I hear negatives on the Barnett and killer instinct I got my daughter a Barnett lady Hunter gonna say 7 yrs ago give or take and it’s been a good one but figured I’d ask here Thanks in advance

I own a centerpoint sniper 370. It hits where I’m aiming, but it’s really heavy.

I met another fella at Dunhams that said the same thing but he did say it was a good shooter

I have a Centerpoint 415. Accurate and consistent after a scope change. Don’t use it much. Thought I would after shoulder surgery but recovered well and went back to the bow. I will tell you I had a limb delaminate last January. Called Ravin and had new limbs, free of charge, on my doorstep in less than a week. Customer service was outstanding. They also told me locations that would service my crossbow.

Ive had a Sniper 370 for years. My limbs delaminated last year after thousands of shots, Ive actually had to restring it I shot it so much. I upgraded scope and had custom bolts made. It will hit a Skoal can at 70 yards.

My sister bought a Wicked Ridge, Rampage 360 “TenPoint” with the hand crank built in the stock. Came with a pretty good scope factory as well. It shoots great after she went away from aluminum to carbon bolts.

I have a centerpoint sniper 370 as well, it’s a good shooter but last season I had a limb start splintering. I reached out to centerpoint and never got a response.
So in the market for another crossbow, I’ll probably get something a little nicer this go around, in the 3-400 dollar range

Woodsmen I’m curious if you tried to contact Ravin? They bought Centerpoint. I emailed Ravin and they were very helpful with my Centerpoint problem. I’m just curious if I got lucky.

No I contacted centerpoint didn’t know ravin had took ownership. If I’m not mistaken I had like one month of warranty left when it happened, which is now long gone. I’ve debated purchasing another centerpoint crossbow but haven’t decided yet. Most everyone has had great experiences including me up till the limb splintering

Ravin will send you a new front end, no questions asked

I like Barnett

My dad has a Killer Instinct. His whole set up cost him like $225. Was a big sale in Sportsman’s Guide. It shoots hard and fast and only weighs about 6 lbs. Can’t remember his model. About 2 years old.

There’s plenty of interchangeable limbs out there. Ravin should have them. I replaced limbs multiple times on a Parker I used to own. When Parker went out of business I sold it and sold it with limbs that I had maybe taken 10 shots on. A lot of Ravin and CP parts are interchangeable from what I’m told.

I appreciate all the info from what I’m hearing here and other forums I think I’m gonna go with the center point for now I appreciate y’all’s input

My buddy has a Wicked Ridge Warrior and it shoots great.

I've got a center point dagger 390. A bit heavy but shoots very consistent. Caught it on sale at Dunham's couple years back for little to nothing. Killed my buck with it last year at 43 yards.
