Grand Prairie, TX (June 4, 2020) – Barnett is keeping the heritage of crossbows alive with their all-new Blackcat and Wildcat recurves, offering a classic, easy-to-use design with contemporary cutting edge technology. Whether you’re a new crossbow shooter, a small-framed hunter, or merely prefer a simple, straightforward design, The Blackcat and Wildcat offer a pair of extremely affordable options.
Rugged limbs and a sturdy, yet simple, single string provide plenty of speed and power, even for deer hunters. Safety is always emphasized at Barnett, and these bows are no exception with features like an Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) trigger system to ensure the bow only fires when you want it to, and finger safety reminders to keep fingers below the string path. Barnett’s Soft Lok™ Floating Bristle Arrow Retainer holds arrows securely against the flight track while three Picatinny rails offer ample options for mounting optics and other accessories.
