BARNETT JACKAL CROSSBOW INSTALL

The trigger pull is roughly 3.5 lbs., which felt perfect to me вЂ“ just enough to prevent accidental firing, and just enough that you can push the trigger without struggling. I was roughly 60 yards away from the target. I lined up for the shot, with my target being a home-made вЂњpenguinвЂќ (basically a nylon bag filled with lots of cardboard). If dead-lifting 150 pounds each time you need to cock the crossbow sounds like a chore, then I recommend getting a rope cocking device to make the job much easier. As soon as the Jackal is cocked, the anti-dry-firing mechanism is activated, which automatically places the crossbow into вЂњsafety-lockвЂќ mode. of draw weight, however donвЂ™t let that fool you вЂ“ it fires 20вЂі carbon arrows with a speed of 315 feet per second, more than enough to kill pretty much anything youвЂ™ll come across, and definitely more than enough for target practice. I placed my foot in the stirrup and cocked it it easily by hand, without using a rope. I personally prefer using flat nocks on my crossbow arrows, however Barnett recommends using half-moon nocks in their manual, which I can live with рџ™‚

I then tightened the mounting side plates so the sight would not fall off, and was ready for some serious shooting.ДЇirst thing I did was lubricate the string and cables on the Jackal it is advised to do so every 5 arrows fired at the most вЂ“ itвЂ™s much easier to do than you could imagine. All that was left now is attaching the red-dot sight I placed it onto the mount and moved it around a bit until it was around 3-4вЂі inches away from my eye (when in shooting position), which is standard practice for red-dot sights.

Now came the time to install the foot stirrup I simply had to insert it into the opening at the front of the crossbow and then secure it with the included screws. Afterwards I inserted cable slide and then the string and cables into the cams/limbs as specified on one of the pictures in the manual, and then pushed the riser into the stock until it вЂњclicked,вЂќ signifying a successful attachment, which I later reinforced with the hex bolt included in the package. I followed the installation instructions and attached the quiver bracket to the bottom of the stock with the provided screws. Still, itвЂ™s a very good crossbow for the money if you can get it.ДЄssembling the Barnett Jackal took me around 10 minutes, which is pretty fast considering itвЂ™s a compound crossbow. Unfortunately, the crossbow is difficult is very difficult to buy nowadays so we had to take it off our list. Note: Barnett Jackal was ranked as our top best crossbow on a budget for over 4 years.
