My .02 cents. This is my second season with a Barnett Jackal. And I am already making plans to sell it and go back to a bow. I bought it instead of a new bow because it was all the rage in my group of friends. But, honestly, I find a bow to be much easier all around. The Xbow is heavy, unwieldy in the stand, and there is a learning curve. My bow is 15 year old PSE. I am sorry I didn't spend the extra money and go with one of the newer, lighter, smaller bows.
