We have now tested the five fastest crossbows that Barnett Crossbows offers, Buck Commander, Wildcat C5, Quad 400, Revolution and Predator, we experienced no failures of any kind. As we tested these crossbows we followed a strict regiment of shoot ten arrows and use barnett's lube wax as to their recommendation, after hundreds of arrows launched from these crossbows, string erosion was minimal.
The other important factor with Barnett Crossbows is the level of accuracy these crossbows achieve. They are accurate right out of the box, with well tuned arrows they become very accurate.
Barnett Crossbows, AVI:
An important factor to be aware of when shooting Barnett Crossbows is this; always check while shooting your crossbow for anything that may vibrate loose causing eratic accuracy.
All crossbows vibrate severly, it is just their nature by design.
Once again Barnett engineers realized this and created the new AVI system for Barnett Crossbows. (Anti-Vibration Isolator)
Anti Vibration Isolator system is a unique process that utilizes a special soft-touch material that covers each limb, dramatically, reducing vibration. This system absorbs the shock and vibration in the crossbow and reduces crossbow noise.

Proper maintenance includes applying barnett lubewax to the area where the string touches the flight track every 5 to 10 shots.
Lubewax should also be applied anywhere the cables make contact with the cable slide or teflon tape, whichever is applicable, every 20 to 30 shots.
To extend the life of your cables it is important to apply barnett lubewax to all non-served areas of the cables and string every 30 to 50 shots.
