The Barnett Quad 400 Crossbow Review.
As we tested and reviewed the Barnett Quad 400 crossbow in our search for the best dollar value crossbow, that when set-up properly, anyone would be able to shoot it accurately and un-assisted including individuals right handed, left handed, young, old, physically impaired, it became quite apparent that the Barnett Quad 400 crossbow had a lot to offer any crossbow user, with its long power-stroke of 15 1/2 inches, arrow trajectories were very flat and its ability to have an internally mounted crank to cock system added makes it easy for anyone to cock it. The fit and finish on the Barnett Quad 400 crossbow is quite impressive, rivaling that of much higher priced crossbows. The stock with its nice camo pattern is long enough to shoulder well for a longer armed person giving way for good eye relief at the scope and is quite comfortable. In our accuracy tests of the Barnett Quad 400 crossbow again coupled with the use of good optical sights and Beman ICS LightningBolt 22 inch arrows accuracy was well above board for a high velocity crossbow. All of our crossbow shooters with minimal range time were able to shoot 1 1/2 inch 3 shot groups at 35 yards. Barnett Quad 400 Crossbow For Sale: Amazon , A-Store & Cabela's.

Accuracy tests of the Barnett Quad 400 crossbow were conducted with random shooters with various skill levels of shooting, this was done for the simple reason we were looking for a crossbow that anyone with any knowledge of shooting would be successful with a crossbow that could be used for hunting or sporting purposes. The Barnett Quad 400 crossbow was a good fit for me so I felt compelled to do a little range work with this crossbow from a benchrest at 50 yards, it shot within a 1 inch diameter sized target consistantly.
Note: I used a scope level on the scope to ensure shot to shot consistancy by eliminating canting of the crossbow which aided in my accuracy test. Barnett Quad 400 Crossbow For Sale: Amazon, A-Store & Cabela's.
