Barnett Blackcat crossbow is a recurve hunting crossbow package designed for shooters who want a straightforward, easy-to-use platform. Its black finish, recurve configuration, and mostly assembled design make the Blackcat a practical option for new crossbow users and hunters who prefer a simpler setup.
The Blackcat package includes a red-dot sight, aluminum arrows, and a lightweight quiver. Its speed rating is measured with a 380-grain arrow; use only arrows that meet Barnett’s specified weight requirements. Barnett states that arrows below 380 grains can simulate a dry-fire condition, potentially damage the crossbow, and void the warranty.camelcamelcamel+1

The Anti-Dry Fire system engages when the crossbow is cocked and requires a properly loaded arrow in the flight track before the safety can be disengaged. The Soft-Lok floating bristle retainer self-adjusts to hold a correctly loaded arrow against the flight track. These features support safer handling but do not replace safe crossbow practices.media-amazon+1
Always read the owner’s manual before assembly or use. Keep hands and fingers below the flight track and away from the string path. Never fire the crossbow without a correctly loaded, undamaged, manufacturer-approved arrow, and always use a suitable target and backstop.
