Barnett Ghost 350 CRT Crossbow Package (Quiver, 3 - 20-Inch Arrows and Illuminated 3x32mm Scope)

I got this as my first crossbow. I'm not a bow shooter, but figured I may as well be prepared for the zombie invasion (LOL). Anyway, this thing is freakin' amazing. I had a bit of a problem sighting in the scope. The scope mount doesn't fit tight and I guess that gave me some issue. Anyway, when I got done, at 20 yards, I was hitting a grouping of 1/2"! That blows me away. This thing is very repeatably accurate and fast. Be sure to know that it takes some height and strength to cock it and that buying it with the crank option instead of aftermarket will save you about $30-$40.Cons:1. The description on Amazon says 4 arrows and it is 3 arrows.2, (Not a negative against the product) I am destroying the arrows because they shoot through my target. I've even bought target tips and blunted them on a grinding wheel and they still shoot through where the feathers are buried. A testament to how much velocity this thing has. I've got to find the right target. Even though the feathers keep getting buried and are taking quite the abuse, they are still firmly attached to the carbon shaft. This must be related to how well the arrows are made.3. The scope does not come with the scope fittings ready to mount on the rail. You may need to loosen the scope mounts on the scope to fit the rail to the scope. Further, the scope seems to a bit close to the eye and would be better if it could be mounted further from the butt-end of the stock. But after about 8 shots, I was getting 1" groupings.4. Not a con for me, but this thing does take some upper body strength to cock with the cord. Expect complaints from your wife or daughter...you need strength and height.Pros:All in one: As my first crossbow...W-O-W!!!!!! Impressive. Accurate. Light. Great safety feature. Great that it automatically sets the safety. Great that an arrow must be loaded before the safety can be unchecked. Jaw-dropping performance. Nearly rifle performance. Just cannot be more pleased.This is just a great, perfectly engineered crossbow. I cannot say anything bad about it other than a few minor issues related to the scope and the mount.EDIT: I solved one of my minor issues by putting a screwdriver to the scope mount. It does now fit tight with no wiggle at all. I still wish it were able to be mounted about 1-2" further from the butt, but I'm getting used to it. Still a great bow.

The ghost 350 is awesome! When it comes in the directions are easy and takes only a few minutes to assemble. One recommendation is use Lottie on all screws and bolts. This will eliminate the vibration loosening the limb and scope. Setting up the scope was easy except the directions for the scope says start by zeroing at 100 yds. I never set up any kind of scope before but thought to ask a friend who has and he setup at 20yds. (It's the first circle at the top, then 30yds, 40 , and so on to 70. This was something the directions didn't clarify. I wound up changing to a Hawke 3x32 ir crossbow scope because it seemed the groupings were inconsistent after several shots. I was able to kill a doe the first time out with the scope it came with but the next hunt, with no wind and time for a precision shot came up empty. I was using a Simmons range finder so yards weren't a question. After going back to target shots, I realized the scope may be the problem. Problem solved. The replacement has done well and I have been successful the next three hunts. The power of this crossbow is amazing, very lightweight to carry if you are doing a stalk hunt and solid built. The head hunters bolts that come with the kit, paired up with spitfire 100 grain mechanical broadheads do the job!!

This was my first crossbow purchase ever, so I spent some time researching. I decided to stay with the 20" arrows and a 350 fps seems to be about the limit. One shop told me there would be a lot less flex with 20" over the 22" arrows. When I bolted the bow to the stock I used the blue thread lock tight to make sure it would not back out. I have been very pleased with the accuracy at 20, 30 and 40 yds and it's very fast. This is a serious weapon. No problem sighting the scope. I wax lube the rail and string about every 5 shots. Although I have only 50 shots on this crossbow, it's great so far. Thought I might have a problem with the 175 lb draw, but not so with the rope cocker. The on - off safety label got damaged right away by the rope cocker rubbing it, but no big deal. The Barnett factory told me this model has a butt stock adjustment to customize your fit, not so, it's fixed. Several reviews said the 350 was loud, but it is fairly quite unless your comparing it to a $1000.00 plus Mission. For the money this is a great value and would recommend the Ghost 350 CRT. My wife says it looks wicked. Happy hunting.

I have hunted archery for 20 years and this is my first time purchasing a crossbow. I am more than pleased with this bow. It is very light(in comparison to others), and balanced very well. I've held crossbows that felt like an anchor hanging on the front end but that is not the case with this bow. It was very easy to assemble. The bow is fast and quiet right out of the box. I was pleasantly surprised with the consistency of it as well. After shooting it/sighting it in twice I was holding 2 to 3 inch groups at 40 yards. The scope that comes with the bow is very nice as well. It has multiple reticles that can light up red or green with a switch on the scope. I would recommend this to anyone. Great crossbow for a great price.

Well is ironic you ask , I took the bow to a repatable hunting shop in pa to had the bow assembly, just in case I misunderstood something, from the time I took the bow out the box the guy could tell me exactly what's wrong with the bow . He then told me eight out of ten bow come in here have the same issue after firing a couple of arrows, then when I reach by my friend house I was told last month a guy got cut on his forehead with the strings from the same bow . So I'm not comfortable with using that bow at all . I'm sending it back for a refund.
