The WILDCAT C5 is equipped with an automatic anti-dry fire safety, which engages every time the crossbow is cocked. The safety must be released before each shot. This, as with any other mechanical device, does not guarantee total safety, as no safety device is a substitute for common sense and safe handling.
This Barnett crossbow is equipped with an automatic anti-dry fire safety mechanism which engages when the crossbow is cocked. An arrow must be loaded into the arrow/flight track to release the safety and the safety must be disengaged or in the “off/fire” position before each shot.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Barnett crossbows are equipped with an automatic anti-dry fire safety mechanism, which engages every time the crossbow is cocked. An arrow must be loaded into the flight track to release the safety and the safety must be disengaged or in the “off/ fire” position before each shot.
Crossbows have a safety feature: Most crossbows are on safe at the end of the cocking process. Immediately after cocking, always check to make sure that your bow is on safe before doing anything else. This is critical!
According to specs, the Wildcat C5 can fire a bolt at a speed of 320 FPS with a draw weight of 150 lbs.
The Barnett Wildcat C5 Crossbow in Camo was built with speed, performance and comfort in mind. A thumbhole grip and vented quad limbs add to the high performance of the Barnett Wildcat Crossbow. This Barnett crossbow produces speeds up to 320 feet per second.
Recent research has confirmed the experiments of the 1970s, that 2mm of medieval plate armour could resist any medieval arrow or crossbow.
Yes. Crossbows have a chance to pen a still functioning shield. The formula is wack, but it takes into account the shields remaining hit points and it`s resistance stat, then compares it with the amount of damage of the crossbow.
Leaving your bow cocked for extended periods of time may weaken the limbs and reduce speed. Barnett does not recommend cocking your bow for more than four hours at a time. Store in a safe, dry place.
Is the crossbow suitable for self-defense? Basically, the crossbow is excellent for defending yourself: Aimable, usable at a distance, high penetrating power and very effective – up to deadly shots!
The recommended method of uncocking a crossbow is to shoot an arrow from the cocked crossbow into a safe backstop. If hunting from an elevated stand or tree stand, remove the arrow from the crossbow. Leaving the safety in the “on” position, lower the crossbow from your stand.
Do not leave your crossbow cocked for longer than a 24-hour period, as premature stretching of the string and cables may occur, leading to a loss in crossbow performance.
The top speed of both the Prowler and the Wildcat in Low gear is around 40 MPH. With the Wildcat, however, running in low gear when you`re going under 40 MPH in the woods will help keep belt temps down.
This includes the bowstring with a length of 37 and cables with a length of 28. You can choose for a crossbow string or the full set of crossbow string and cables in the menu.
Most Accurate Fastest Crossbow: Ravin R29: 430 FPS. Fastest Barnett Crossbow: Hypertac Pro 430: 430 FPS.
Crossbow arrows have a high penetration force and can even pierce bone.
If the crossbow bolt makes it to the back of the skull (0.25m from PART 1) with enough kinetic energy to pierce it, it will go right through.
In general, it is not a safe practice to dry-fire your crossbow. Your crossbow is equipped with a DFI (Dry-Fire-Inhibitor) mechanism. In the event you forget to load an arrow into the crossbow but attempt to take a shot, the string will be caught by the DFI, which helps to prevent damage to the bow assembly.
The ballistics of the majority of vertical bows are superior to the majority of crossbows. The mystical ingredient is the power stroke. Even though a crossbow has a heavier draw weight, the power stroke is much shorter.
Gemma says: Unlike knives crossbows can be fired at a distance and still cause devastating damage to the person who has been shot. Crossbows are silent, lethal weapons, which have a similar effective range to a shotgun but offer the accuracy of a rifle.
Shields are used to intercept specific attacks, whether from close-ranged weaponry or projectiles such as arrows, by means of active blocks, as well as to provide passive protection by closing one or more lines of engagement during combat.
Compound crossbows are the most powerful form of the crossbow and will shoot a crossbow bolt at much higher speeds than the recurve. The pistol crossbow is much smaller and less powerful than both the compound and recurve crossbows. They are said to have a useful range of only 30-yards.
We could talk about specifics and comparisons all day long, but the bottom line is: Compared to heavier and longer arrows from vertical bows, crossbow arrows drop like a rock and lose energy quickly after leaving the rail. What`s more, they do not stabilize well at long range.
Summary. If you don`t care about hitting a target, a powerful modern crossbow can shoot as far as 500 yards. If you want to hunt, up to 80 yards is possible for a very skilled shooter, however you should stick to a maximum of 60 yards, and preferably much less than that (30-35) if you are a beginner.

I have had 2 Predator’s with the new trigger (metal ) come back to my store stuck in safe mode…I think both customers cocked it while bow was on safe mode..My problem is now the safety will not move at all….Can I reset the the trigger?
ANSWER : I came across this on aimblogs.net:
My Barnett Crossbow is stuck?
I have a Barnett crossbow and I pulled the string back till it was locked but I left the safety on and it’s stuck. The safety won’t budge and neither will the string.. I can’t find anyway of releasing the string
My recomendation would be….take the arrow off of the barrel, and case it up. Take it to your local boyer or archery shop. I’m guessing it will need to be put in a bow vice to get the pressure off of the trigger. Good luck.

Need the wire diagram to rewire my Ariens lawnmover to bypass the safety switch. It is Ariens GT-19 model # 931026 Serial # 001463.
Can you help? It is an old Ariens mower but still runs good but now I need to bypass the safety switch in order to run it any longer. The local Ariens dealer said I need to go through the internet and get the wire diagram as they cannot give it to me directly. They told me I needed the wire diagram and the part involved in bypassing the safety switch. Hope this is all the information you need to help me.

ANSWER : Here is owner manual:http://apache.ariens.com/manuals/030305C.pdfusually the switch is behind the ignition, sometimes at the N position of gearshift, just look for a switch with one wire coming in & one going out (usually the same color); disconnect the two wires & jumper them together to bypass the switch. Looks like yours has one under the seat.
