About Barnett

Barnett is one of the major American crossbow manufacturers, with crossbows used by hunters at multiple price points across the market. These accessories support Barnett crossbow ownership: factory-spec bolts for safety and warranty compliance, cocking aids, and de-cocking systems. Trusted by Barnett crossbow owners and crossbow hunters generally.

Crossbow Accessory Essentials, Quick Reference

• Bolts (Crossbow Arrows), Each crossbow specifies bolt LENGTH. Wrong length = dangerous. Verify YOUR crossbow's spec.
• Cocking Device, Modern crossbows draw 150-300+ lb. Hand cocking is impractical and inconsistent. Cocking aids are ESSENTIAL safety/accuracy equipment.
• De-Cocking System, Specialized bolts to safely uncock crossbow at end of hunt without wasting hunting bolts or shooting into unsafe directions.

BOLT LENGTH CRITICAL: Always verify your crossbow's spec before ordering bolts. Wrong-length bolts can damage crossbow and injure shooter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why a cocking device is ESSENTIAL:
Modern crossbows draw 150-300+ lb of force, far MORE than even strong adults can pull by hand consistently. Cocking by hand: 1) Risks injury (back strain, hand slippage). 2) Inconsistent cocking position = inaccurate shots. 3) Tiring, limits practice volume. A cocking device is essential safety AND accuracy equipment for any crossbow hunter.

Rope cocking mechanism:
The rope wraps around the bowstring with hooks at each end and a handle in the middle. Pulling the handle UP gives ~4:1 mechanical advantage, your 50 lb pull effectively becomes 200 lb on the string. Allows safe cocking of even the heaviest crossbows.

Rope cocking advantages:
1) MUCH cheaper than crank cocking ($20 vs $100+). 2) No moving parts to break. 3) Lightweight, packable. 4) Universal fit (works on most crossbow brands). 5) Faster cocking once you're practiced.

Rope cocking disadvantages:
1) Still requires SOME physical effort (vs zero-effort crank). 2) Less consistent than crank (string position varies slightly). 3) Awkward in tight blinds where you can't fully extend the rope.

Vs crank cocking systems?
ROPE ($19.99): manual, cheap, packable. CRANK ($100-300+): zero effort, more consistent, integrated on premium crossbows. Older/less-physically-able hunters often upgrade to crank. Most hunters do fine with rope.

Compatibility:
Universal-fit rope cocking works with most modern crossbows. Verify your specific crossbow model accepts manual rope cocking before ordering.
