Arrow Selection and Proper Flight
Due to the unique design of your Barnett crossbow, it is
imperative that only the specified arrows are used. These arrows
are correctly spined and weighted to absorb the high energy
generated by the compound design. Lighter arrows simulate a
“dry-fire” condition and will result in damage to the crossbow
VOIDING the warranty.
Understanding Arrow Weights and Speeds
The crossbow industry does not have set standards for
calculating advertised speeds. Manufacturers use various arrow
weights to depict their marketed speeds, anywhere from a
380 grain arrow to a 425 grain arrow. There are alot of different
factors to consider when choosing an arrow: speed, kinetic
energy, down range penetration, accuracy and potential wear
that the arrow weight puts on the bow.
With over 50 years of experience, Barnett has found that the best
performing arrows in all of these categories combined vary from
bow to bow. Included with your bow purchase is the arrow that
we feel is weighted for the best performance for your hunting
experience. The arrow speeds in the chart below are provided to
give you the power of your new Barnett bow in comparison to
the other bows on the market.

A DRY-FIRE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

moon nock.
• Mechanical broadheads that simulate the flight of a field point
may be used where legal.
• The recommended fixed blade broadheads can be any three
blade low profile broadhead with a cutting diameter no larger
than 1-3/16”.
