BARNETTCentershot Compound Bow, Youth Bow Ages 5-8, 17lbs, with 2 Fiberglass Arrows, Hip Quiver, Mossy Oak Bottomland

Barnett makes some great bows but not this one. The string alignment is unusual, awkward and dangerous. They need to take the design back t the drawing board. in addition, the fletchings and or nock is turned 90 degrees out of alignment causing the arrow to not sit properly on the rest.

The different colored fletch is made to point down so as to travel through the centershot arrow rest, the nock is placed accordingly. On all other arrows the odd colored fletch points out to the side. This bow only came with two arrows, I have already bought $30 worth of arrows that will not work with this bow. Where do I get arrows?

I got one of these today at Wal-Mart for $30 for my daughter to shoot around the yard. She has a better Matthews Genesis she uses for archery, but I wanted something little she wouldn't have to keep in a case and could shoot in the yard anytime. This is a bad design, it is slow to get an arrow nocked and the rest is terrible. It came with only 2 arrows, I bought 4 more at the time and they don't line up correctly with this cattywompus rest. I would suggest anyone looking at this piece of junk forget about it and go with a traditional recurve or compound design. My daughter used to have a little Bear Cub recurve and it was way more fun to shoot than this gimicky waste of money. I am thinking about digging the packaging out of the garbage (where this bow belongs) and returning it this weekend. I wish I never bought it, now I have a headache on my hands and will have to waste time and money to drive back to wal-mart if I return it. If I don't return it I'll give it away, everytime I look at it I'm disgusted that I didn't notice what a crappy design it was.
