- Rather than risk a flame by offering an opinion of Barnetts let me
- just say that my first compound was a Barnett Sioux. I never dry fired
- it and shot the proper weighted arrows. Less than a year after I got
- the bow, it broke at the limb split, and released the wheel and pulley
- while I was anchored at full draw. Dangerous to say the least. I took
- the bow back and foolishly accepted a replacement. The same thing happened.
