Explorer Series Hunting Crossbows - Fast, Lightweight, Compact, Premium Crossbows

Easy to assemble. Scope is lackluster but you will hit the target with it right out of the box. Crank works well, the switch to disengage the crank is difficult to get to and move sometimes.

This bow is GARBAGE!!! Do not buy it ! The scope would not adjust left to right and most important part of the bow . The safety switch does NOT WORK!!!! I almost lost my fingers trying to release the string that was jammed in trigger !! AGAIN DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE!!!

I purchased my bow in early December . The 3dot scope is wasn't a fan of. I changed scopes and hunted all season with it. I went out this morning to try n fill my last tag. I sat in my blind and cranked it pulling string. Loaded my arrow. Set it on my shoot stick n about 10seconds later I heard a loud CRACK! The right side limbs snapped. Hoping customer service is good. 2Nd bow ordered n exact same thing by 7th shot! Sighting in

Overall, this is a solid value for the price but I found the scope to be unusable in low light. I sighted the bow in bright daylight, but later, when actually hunting in low light conditions found the scope useless. Thankfully, I have an old Horton crossbow from which I swapped the scope. I now have a reliable combination.

Injured my back years ago and had to give up bow hunting. Talked with my son and decided to purchase this one also, but with the hand crank. Hand crank works well, just need to get it sighted in. It has great speed, and was easy to assemble. Like the fact that the stock is adjustable too. UPDATE: 9/21/2024 I was sighting my crossbow in today. Finally got it sighted in to the 20yd mark. I was getting ready to shoot my 11th or 12th bolt out of it since I purchased it and just as I finished cocking it, I heard a Crack and the limb broke on me. Now I guess I get to see how well customer service and the warranty work. Will update again, when I see if Barnett stands by their product.

Red dot scope isn’t great I’ve used $40 truglo optics better then this

I received the ball and Liz I don't remember her last name sent me a video to go along with it which was awesome that helped out a lot Liz did right thank you very much girl needs a raise please...

I purchased the Barnett Expedition 385 September 16th 2024. I have shot the crossbow 20-30 times at home to pick my best arrows/ sight in the scope. I brought my crossbow on a deer hunt the week of October 28th. While sitting in the deer blind, I noticed that a shard of fiberglass about .25"×5" on the front side of the upper right arm had become detached. This ended my hunt. All the time, effort, and expenses- wasted. When I got home, I emailed Barnett only to find that the email address they provided is non existent. I tried calling, but they have a recording saying that their phone lines are down. I found another email address on their website that was actually real, but no response. This company is CRAP. they may have been decent at one time, but I guess they're all on Fentynal or something these days.

I purchased this crossbow because I am interested in getting into archery, but wanted to avoid the steep learning curve of a traditional bow (or the expense of a decent compound bow). The crossbow was delivered a little ahead of time (which is pretty normal for where I live). The crossbow itself is really very good and is a tack driver at 20 yards. I haven't spent much time using it at 40 yards yet, but from what I have seen so far it will work very well. It is relatively heavy to cock using the supplied cocking tool, but is not so heavy that a 'normal sized human' can't caulk it. I have used it in temperatures as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius and have had no issues with it (IE: limbs making cracking sounds, trigger mechanism not working properly, ect.). I am relatively new to this and have not compared this crossbow against other more expensive or powerful crossbows. The optic that comes with the bow is fully functional, albeit quite basic. I did end up changing it out for another optic that has a more 'upscale' reticle. Overall, I am very satisfied with this crossbow and can definitely recommend it.

Excellent cross bow at a great price. It came pretty much pre-assembled. This crossbow XP385 is very well built and should last a long time with proper maintenance. If you are new to crossbows read and re-read the manuals until you have everything about operation, maintenance and above all SAFTEY memorized. Although these things are fun they are also incredibly serious implements that can cause incredible damage to itself and of course the user if improperly used or mishandled. There are some great YT videos out there about crossbow operation and safety. Do yourself a favor and search for them. Will post some photos soon.

For a budget bow it's great! I was skeptical of buying it from other bad reviews, but I think most of the bad reviews are from beginners with no experience. It's fairly fast and quiet. And once I sighted it in it's deadly accurate. I'm 100% satisfied with it, after using this crossbow I wouldn't ever bother spending a bunch of money on a high end one when this is all you would ever need

Shoots great with 500 grain bolts, very smooth and trigger, ok !! I bought the crank to go with it but finally was able to cock it without using it which was easier to cock than my KI Furious 370 .. Very Happy I bought it !!

Fantastic crossbow! Love it so much!
