8/24/2023 0 Comments Recurve crossbow hunting![]() ![]() The butt of the stock lies comfortably against the shoulder and the “pass-through” concept offers extra stability and comfort. The Blackcat and Wildcat are easy to manage and shoulder. With just three bolts you can install the crossbow and start using them. The BlackCat and Wildcat come “Ready-to-Shoot”, meaning that they come mostly pre-assembled. The crossbows both feature finger safety reminders to keep your hands safely below the flight deck. The trigger system is equipped with ambidextrous auto-safety and anti-dry-fire which prevents you from accidentally dry firing the crossbow. This is a very nice, high-quality trigger. Trigger and Safetyīarnett decided to equip the Blackcat and Wildcat with a MIM (Metal Injection Mold) tight tolerance trigger. If that is still to much weight for you to pull you can of course buy a rope cocker that will reduce the pull weight by 50 percent. You only have to pull 195 pounds of weight. These crossbows are very easy to cock and they cock smoothly. It is a fine sight with no special features. Opticsīoth the Barnett Blackcat and the Wildcat come with a good quality red dot sight that functions properly. The crossbows come with a lightweight side-mount quiver that can hold a total of four arrows. However, they are high-quality arrows that I would gladly hunt with. They do not weigh 380 grain so you won’t reach the crossbows advertised speed with them. The Aluminum arrows in the package are 18 inches long. Barnett speed tested the crossbows with 380 grain arrows. The Barnett Blackcat and the Wildcat both shoot arrows with speeds in the range of 250-260 fps. The Wildcat’s camo pattern looks great, and the Blackcat’s Black Strike also looks really nice. Barnett WildcatĪs always, Barnett did a fantastic job with the camo finish of these crossbows. To dampen the crossbows further Barnett decided to install them with track-mounted string dampeners, they significantly reduce string noise during firing. The crossbows come with a rubberized anti-vibration foot stirrup that helps quiet the bow down during the shooting. The crossbows feature three Picatinny rails, so you can attach extra equipment, like optics, extra quiver, flashlight, etc. Like most Barnett crossbows the Blackcat and the Wildcat are customizable. The crossbows are comfortable to hold and shoulder and the crossbows are well balanced. ![]() The Wildcat/Blackcat recurve crossbows feature a sturdy lightweight stock and a safe finger guards pass-through foregrip. These lightweight crossbows tip our scales at only 4.8 lbs (without accessories). They are not the most compact recurve crossbow out there, the Blackcat and the Wildcat crossbows both measure a total length of 35.5 inches(32 inches without the stirrup,) and a uncocked axle to axle width of 28 inches and 22 inches once cocked. I really like the look of the Blackcat and Wildcat recurve crossbows, they both feature a traditional simple design, and the number of movable parts is kept to a minimum. No shoulder sling included in the package.No crossbow case included in the package.
