I'm a disabled vet and I can no longer hunt with my compound bow so my son got a XP 350 so I've been doing research on it. This was a informative vid thank you for making it.
Kinda late to the party, glad I found your page. This will be my sons first deer season with me, and he chose this exact crossbow. He wanted one like mine, The KI Boss 405, but told him he had to use his own money to get his first crossbow. Can't be spoiling them young ones to much, plus he'll take better care of it since it was his money that bought it. Can't wait to get in the woods with him and try and get his first deer.
Love my xp 350 . Bought back in sept up here in nc mountains for my deer. I named it thumper . Deer doesn’t go 30 yards with nap killzones and mayhem bolts. I highly recommend this crossbow .
Great video. I picked up my first crossbow and now I'm waiting for next year's deer season so of course I've fallen down the rabbit hole of crossbow reviews. Keep up the good content and good luck with the sponsorship.
Got the same one. Shot one doe with it. It shots as good as any I’ve ever shot. Changing the scope before next year not to good in low light. Can’t beat this for the price.
I bought the same one from Walmart love it to me worth the money the red dot that comes with it sighted in easy just a good overall crossbow for the money!
I have a barnett xp 350 shooting victory bolts and 100 grain slick tricks broadheads this xbow is very accurate and weighs only 6lbs haven't harvested a deer with it but I'm working on it I love this bow
Thanks for the helpful info, I’ve been sitting on a Barnett Game Crashed 2.0 for awhile now and just put it all together using your video as a reference.
I had a Barnett Whitetail Pro STR and that crossbow sucked. I bought it from Bass Pro Shops and I had to take it back because the oem string kept fraying after only shooting it 12 times. This happened twice and after the 3rd time I upgraded the oem string and got an aftermarket string and then sold it on eBay. I needed up getting my money back and then I bought me the more reliable Excalibur Bulldog 440. I have changed the strings by myself with the stringer kit and the bow chrono at 450FPS. Yes. Excalibur is more bulky, but it’s so much more durable and I could leave it cocked 24+hrs without overstretching the string. The other thing I love about the bow is that if I snap the string on a hunt I can install a new string on the fly. You can’t do that with a compound crossbow.
Good move! I tried a few different scopes but eventually came back to the red dot. I had a hard time getting the elevation consistent with my arrows I was shooting
I love my Tp390. Got it for a steal brand new. I replaced the scope with the Killer Instinct Lumix SR 5x32. My Barnett Blackcat has that red dot, It's okay.
I have the killer instinct boss 405. I upgraded my scope to killer instinct Lumix IRE. I have the DSC Crank cocker system it is silent. My draw is 220. I shoot custom victory carbon bolts 425 grain. Wt Rage Xtreme broadheads. Good luck .
So I got the DRT 385 last Sunday from my local Dunham's mind you they assembled it. Got home fired it for the first time it frayed and unstrung right in my face apon release! Has anyone else experienced this with Barrentt Crossbows, or was it due to my local sporting good store assembling it for me?
Why didn’t you add the other item the arrow holder it’s total different from the other bow I have where it under the bottom left to right I guess this one stays under on left or right side but great video
Great video, but you didn't attach the quiver. I've been staring at the instructions for an hour, trying to figure out the quiver mount. I can't even identify the correct part -- very frustrating. Maybe mine was shipped without all the pieces. I guess I'll assemble it without the quiver. This is disappointing because the manual said the quiver is supposed to be done first if you're going to use it. Anyway, I'm glad I found your channel. You seem like a fun guy. BTW, That random "America" comment cracked me up. God bless our country, and God help us 🇺🇸
Love you new bow. I have a xb370 it’s incredible. I also have an excaliber Axiom my dad bought new in 2010. Good luck this season and please give us hunting updates. Love your channel and content please keep them coming. I just got my first deer 🦌 of the year. Can you let me know about the scope I’d like to look into getting one. I’ve heard of people putting rifle scopes on they’re bow any insight on this? Maybe a video idea? Thank you. Semper Paratus...
Thanks for the feedback and congrats on the first one! I just got my first doe of the year this past weekend. On my jackal crossbow I had a rifle 3-9×40 scope and it held up pretty well with it. The only down side is at super close range within 15yards its hard to get a good shot due to the magnification but other than that it does the job! I switched back to a red dot today due to the close range of my stand to my kill zone
Are you going to post the video of the doe hunt?i truly appreciate your replies as well as your insight knowledge and honesty. Thank you and I look forward to the videos.
Wish I would have found your vid2os before I assembled and lost 1 arrow and broke the other in a tree trying to get it out. I am a complete newbie, however... I want to learn to crossbow hunt. Great content man! I race Rc buggies on my channel, checking out.
So can the slide for the cross strings be ordered from Barnett. I just got this bow for a spare so I’m not always using my fancy one. And the Barnett didn’t come with one of the slide
I've had problems with my Jackal ended up being the rail the scope rail bolts were loose. Tried to glue the bolts in but they eventually ended up breaking.
I have a center point 370 sniper I love it had it for 2 years and it started to shoot bad just like yuppie Jackle if you figure out the problem please give us a update, Nice video😀
I just picked up this crossbow yesterday. I've never shot a deer with a crossbow what are some good broadheads you recommend? I'm going to be hunting for deer and hogs in Georgia.
I added the killer instinct luminex scope on mine and I absolutely love it! It blows that cheap one and several others I looked at out the water. If highly recommend you check it out.
Thank you for the video I have got one a few weeks ago putting it today then going target practice later today hopefully be hunting soon with I do have a question what kind of crossbow arrows do you recommend and what kind of tips thank you for your time
Can you please tell me 2 things.1.if I dont have that white string saver part,how can I get one.2.will it hurt it if I don't use it.Thank you.i have the viking FX1-45,I got it off wish.175lb draw.only shoots 17"bolts,so I used it for part of deer elk season,but bought this barrnett xp 350.i love it,it actually uses 20" bolts which as you know is the shortest bolts can be for deer&elk.Buti felt like it wasnt safe shooting a bolt 4"to long,the viking shoots at 240fps with a 17" bolt but the extra 4 inch bolts,made it shoot badly slower,ect..thos Barrette xp350 shoots really hard fast.great bow.anyway thank you.
Great video! The cables on my XP350 came heavily greased with no little white plastic slide thingy. Is it necessary, or did they leave it out for a reason I wonder?
So everyone know u do 3 shots too sight in 3 shots 10 yards 3 shots 20 3 shots 30 do not try to harvest a deer over 35 yards that’s just me thou no suffering to an animal!!! Respect them woods! That’s why we all here...
I assembled my XP 350 crossbow but when trying to pull the string to add the arrow the string won't move and I don't wanna break it. It seems like it's locked or something. What did I do wrong?
Picked one up at walmart the other day great xbow sighted in reality easy. Question for you I have Googled and tried to get in touch with barnett but nothing about the size of the string and cables do you have any idea of the sizes?
I do not know personally, I have a shop locally that restrings bows and crossbows. I will be taking my old crossbow to get it turned up and ill if they can tell me and I'll post an update
I tore my should up at work and after that god awful surgery, I had to give up my beloved compound. A friend of mine gave me an old Barnett Panzer so I could hunt a little before rifle season started. I'm definitely going to need an upgrade. I'm looking at the Jackal. Do you recommend it?
Just ran across your review. I see you posted 2 years ago. So can you tell me after two years whats your thoughts on this cross bow now? Looking to buy
Definitely a good buy and worth it. So far I have 4 kills with it and just replaced string and cable on it. I only bow hunt a few times per season and it's been worth the investment every time.
Haha I had that thought but then I also had a extra $400 to spend in the budget so I weighted my options and reinvested in a new bow and some new camo gear 😂😂
I am viewing your video now, and I find it interesting but strange that the crossbow is consistently hitting to the left. Did you ever have the crossbow checked out by Barnett or a competent crossbow technician. Check your limbs to see if they are cracked. Also make sure that your nocks are aligned properly. Furthermore, check your "tiller." And lastly make sure you are cocking the crossbow evenly. I am a Barnett fan. I have over twenty (20) Barnett crossbows. Some of my Barnett crossbows were manufactured in the late 70's to the early 90's, and they are still hitting the mark. One last thing check your stance and form. That Jackal should still be hitting its mark. It is not old.
I dont think you have to have it, I had an extra one from my last bow and it does work with or without it. But having one definitely helps preserve the cables.
I'm a disabled vet and I can no longer hunt with my compound bow so my son got a XP 350 so I've been doing research on it. This was a informative vid thank you for making it.
I'm glad I could help! Good luck
Thanks for your service 🤝
Best Barnett XP assembly video out here. Thanks for helping me through my XP 370 set up!

Thanks for the review my man. Love what you do.
Got the same one. Shot one doe with it. It shots as good as any I’ve ever shot. Changing the scope before next year not to good in low light. Can’t beat this for the price.

Great job on the unboxing and review. Keep up the good work!
Probably buying this payday. Was looking for a good review. Stumbled upon your video. Good work. You sold me on this!
10:10min MERICA BABY! We The People! Don't tread on me! The 2nd protects the 1st! God bless you brother! and God bless America!
Just bought a crossbow for the first time and it's this exact model. Watched several vids of yours this morning! Love them! Subscribed. Keep it up!!

Been missing your videos. Hope all is well
I have to agree, I purchased the Barnett XP350 about a week ago. I have enjoyed shooting it!! I am probably going to change out the scope!!
Good move! I tried a few different scopes but eventually came back to the red dot. I had a hard time getting the elevation consistent with my arrows I was shooting
@@EDOutdoors91 Honestly I was just having the thought. I will try it out this hunting season. I love Louisiana Hunting
Do you guys know if there’s a crank that’s compatible? I can’t find one online/Barnett’s website.
I just got this for my wife's anniversary gift.
Sweet lookn crossbow. I have a ravin, crossbows are so much fun to shoot. Good luck in the upcoming season!
I bought one love it got my 1st 12 point big boy this year with this bow
I love my Tp390. Got it for a steal brand new. I replaced the scope with the Killer Instinct Lumix SR 5x32. My Barnett Blackcat has that red dot, It's okay.
I'd recommend adding rail lube to that white plastic slider
I have the killer instinct boss 405. I upgraded my scope to killer instinct Lumix IRE. I have the DSC Crank cocker system it is silent. My draw is 220. I shoot custom victory carbon bolts 425 grain. Wt Rage Xtreme broadheads. Good luck .
I just got Barnett xp350 in love with it
Just bought the XP380! It's my back up xbow. My main xbow is a Whitetail Pro STR. Cool vid and I just subscribed.
So I got the DRT 385 last Sunday from my local Dunham's mind you they assembled it. Got home fired it for the first time it frayed and unstrung right in my face apon release! Has anyone else experienced this with Barrentt Crossbows, or was it due to my local sporting good store assembling it for me?
good affirmative video..
i got the XP380. pin point accurate and only 6'' drop at 30 yards with 500 grain bolts. the thing smacks hard
I just bought mine at our Wal-Mart it was on sale for $100 and the 380 was $200
Just bought the same one today. Love the “We The People” cross your back truck window. How about a link for it?
Thanks
You should show how pull back and load the arrow. Cant pull mine back for the life of me
Got one.. perfect for deer..
My buddy just got the 350 fps one. Said he liked the jackal though. I'm still saving to get one
Why didn’t you add the other item the arrow holder it’s total different from the other bow I have where it under the bottom left to right I guess this one stays under on left or right side but great video
I snagged a 380. Im 165lbs wet. The draw is 165lbs. I had to get a crank just to test it.
I got the same one and love it
Hey when are you gonna come out with merch!

Hey I have the jackel myself now but I'm going to see how I do.
Great unwrapping video! Did you find another slide (white plastic) to protect the crossed cables from rubbing on the frame/stock?
So can the slide for the cross strings be ordered from Barnett. I just got this bow for a spare so I’m not always using my fancy one. And the Barnett didn’t come with one of the slide
Put some rail snot on your old crossbow rails and time the cams one may be shooting ahead of the other one
I'll have to check in to that, i didn't think of that
I've had problems with my Jackal ended up being the rail the scope rail bolts were loose. Tried to glue the bolts in but they eventually ended up breaking.
Sounds like the cams are out of time due to the string stretching it happens I bet you put a new string and cable set on it and it would be fixed
I have a center point 370 sniper I love it had it for 2 years and it started to shoot bad just like yuppie Jackle if you figure out the problem please give us a update, Nice video😀
was that jackal shooting to the right before or after you added all those dampeners?
Just got the 380 one.
I had no idea they have a 380. Dang good crossbows for the price!
That's what's up hope u get the 3k
I just got one the first one I've ever had
I just picked up this crossbow yesterday. I've never shot a deer with a crossbow what are some good broadheads you recommend? I'm going to be hunting for deer and hogs in Georgia.
hey check out my broadhead view videos.
i personally am using the swacker 100 grain for deer and i also have a 150 grain in my quiver for hogs.
I added the killer instinct luminex scope on mine and I absolutely love it! It blows that cheap one and several others I looked at out the water. If highly recommend you check it out.
What happens if you miss the target, where does the bolt go
Thank you for the video I have got one a few weeks ago putting it today then going target practice later today hopefully be hunting soon with I do have a question what kind of crossbow arrows do you recommend and what kind of tips thank you for your time
So without cable slider is it ok to shoot??? Is the cable slider just a aftermarket addition?
Yeah it will shoot just fine. My brother has the same bow and it shoots fine without it, the slider just helps reduce wear
Can you please tell me 2 things.1.if I dont have that white string saver part,how can I get one.2.will it hurt it if I don't use it.Thank you.i have the viking FX1-45,I got it off wish.175lb draw.only shoots 17"bolts,so I used it for part of deer elk season,but bought this barrnett xp 350.i love it,it actually uses 20" bolts which as you know is the shortest bolts can be for deer&elk.Buti felt like it wasnt safe shooting a bolt 4"to long,the viking shoots at 240fps with a 17" bolt but the extra 4 inch bolts,made it shoot badly slower,ect..thos Barrette xp350 shoots really hard fast.great bow.anyway thank you.
No it won't hurt to use it without, the string saver does help the string last much longer. It just reduces wear
Just got one today . Wish it had string stops though . I’m new to this is it going to mess up the limbs since it don’t have them ?
Mmm mine didn't come with the string spacer for under the rail for the cables it just had the Teflon under it.
Same here ..... what did you find out
@@joshuabrown7034 worked for me just what was on it.
Mine just looks like hard plastic under it
I just gotten mine today( my 1st crossbow) I have the same one
Am I being sill my trigger keeps jamming i have to use a screw driver to release safety ! Or I'm missing something lol
I just bought one of these good buy? Never hunt with a crossbow before?
picked one up today on clearance @ Walmart for $140.80
Great video! The cables on my XP350 came heavily greased with no little white plastic slide thingy. Is it necessary, or did they leave it out for a reason I wonder?
Very informative but you just gotta slow down when you talk you’re going way to fast for some people to understand. Other then that i love your videos
I got the same one
Where did you find the grip for the jackal and the 350. Wanting to put 1 on both of mine.
Nice video brother
8:50 the manual states the torque spec for that bolt is like 7 ft/lbs... you put like 70 on there!!! any problems so far?
You could have been having trouble with your crossbow because of the bolts. Will do that to.i have a barnett jackel myself.
I think the lighter bolts tend to go haywire more than the aluminum ones or the heavier graphite ones
So everyone know u do 3 shots too sight in 3 shots 10 yards 3 shots 20 3 shots 30 do not try to harvest a deer over 35 yards that’s just me thou no suffering to an animal!!! Respect them woods! That’s why we all here...
I assembled my XP 350 crossbow but when trying to pull the string to add the arrow the string won't move and I don't wanna break it. It seems like it's locked or something. What did I do wrong?
How do you adjust a red dot scope on a crossbow? Does it have the same type of adjustment knobs as a typical rifle scope?
Where did you get that white plastic piece from for the bottom cables on the barnett 350
It came with it. My brother got the same one and his didn't come with one but it still works just fine without it
What’s the white plastic piece called
Are we had 30,000 subs yet?
Picked one up at walmart the other day great xbow sighted in reality easy. Question for you I have Googled and tried to get in touch with barnett but nothing about the size of the string and cables do you have any idea of the sizes?

Any recommendations on crossbow scopes?
Try glow makes a nice crossbow scope for around $50 that i just picked up from eBay but academy sports also carries them
What’s that plastic called you put on the strings so it won’t chafe on the frame man? I got a 350 and I don’t think I got one. Thanks
Cable slide
What Broadheads do You recommend for this bow for deer hunting ??
I just bought one of these. What would be a good crank for it?

Or the other?
Qual valor dessa balestra?

Where do I get the nylon string guide?
It came with my first crossbow o bought, that particular one had 2 in the box and the next one I got didn't have any
Any one know were to buy the new limbs assembly my limbs broke on the left side that holds the cocking ropes I have the Barnett 350
You go through Barnett.....
ur string or cables might need replaced but any exuse to get a new one lol congrats
Haha I had that thought but then I also had a extra $400 to spend in the budget so I weighted my options and reinvested in a new bow and some new camo gear 😂😂

He probably didn’t sight it in
Should I have got one didn't know u had to have one.
You dont have to, it just helps the string last a lot longer by reducing the rub on the rail
whats that little plastic piece you added to protect your strings called? And where do I find one?
Cable slide. Go to a archery shop
@@jonathanyates5198 thanks
I’m gonna go a pick up this crossbow do you have to have a cable slide because I know some make it where you do not have to have it
I dont think you have to have it, I had an extra one from my last bow and it does work with or without it. But having one definitely helps preserve the cables.
If E. D used the Jackal spacer here it is "Barnett Crossbows Jackal Cable Slide S2424".
America!
