Review of Barnett Jackal Crossbow

When you hold this crossbow - you become the ultimate predator.

One glance at the Barnett Jackal reveals an attractive crossbow that often ranks at the top of lists among users. Most people speak highly of it for its comfort, safety, decent FPS, and lightweight and compact design,.

While most people don't call it the most powerful crossbow on the market, the Barnett Jackal still packs enough punch to bring down some of the most tenacious game. If you want a high-powered crossbow at an affordable price, you may want to look at little closer at the Jackal.

​​​The first thing you notice about the design of the Barnett Jackal Crossbow: camouflage. You have a militaristic design. That matters because you will blend in with the wilderness more easily rather than with a black crossbow. Black doesn't occur anywhere naturally in the wild, and it can defeat your purpose of hunting if it gives away your position.

The overall look of this crossbow is a sleek and lightweight design. Because of the design, you can carry it into the woods without worry that it will tire you out before getting to the stand. Some hunters even take a trophy buck on the way to the stand, and you don't want to tire out at that moment. Especially if you have a far trek to your deer stand, every ounce taken off the weight of the crossbow can make a difference.

In particular, a lightweight crossbow will especially work well for someone who has entered their twilight years, and they have begun to slow down. They still want to hunt, but they need a crossbow that will be on the lighter side. The manufacturers designed this crossbow for maximum comfort to ensure that you can maintain a steady a grip.

In general, most customers who have looked at the Barnett Jackal have spoken about how the bow design looks and feels unique to many of the other crossbows that you have on the market.​​​

​​​Deadly out in the wilderness, your prey will learn to respect and fear the Barnett Jackal. You have little to no recoil, and you have enough power to strike a foraging deer out at 50 yards. In general, you will want to keep the shots closer to between 10 to 40 yards for the maximum level of precision. You can use the red dot scope accurately at between 10 to 40 yards with the best results.

If you plan to take shots at targets beyond 40 yards, you will need good elevation to put wings of death on your crossbow quarrels. Shots at 50 yards won't inflict as much damage on big game like trophy buck and black bears. At closer than 10 yards, you most likely won't even need to have the scope on it. The picatinny rail guide system ensures that your quarrels fly straight and with pinpoint accuracy.

One thing you should understand is how the price range on the Barnett Jackal doesn't match the range of the crossbow. You get a much better range for the price than what you will with many of the other choices on the market, maximizing your value.​​​

​​​From the moment you open the box, the Barnett Jackal hands you all the tools that you will need to become the ultimate predator in the wilderness. At first glance, the assembly can look a little intimidating. Don't panic. You can put this together in 10 to 15 minutes without a problem as the instructions guide you through the simple process.

All the bolts and screws necessary to the Barnett Jackal come included with this bow. In addition, the manufacturers included hex keys to ensure that you can put this crossbow together in a cinch.

When you buy the Barnett Jackal, they have also included a scope that comes pre-sighted at 20 yards for maximum convenience. You may, however, want to sight this scope in yourself for the big day of the hunt to ensure that you don't miss your target.

Because this crossbow comes with a quiver and three 20-inch quarrels, you can start hunting from day one. You don't have to go out and buy other products to get started. Everything comes as needed in the box.​​​
