Anybody shoot a Slider , titan or barnett revolution?
I was looking at the ten point "slider"and "titan" . I don't know of a store around here that sells these . My options are somewhat limited . Also available is the "fusion" from the same company . They also carry an extensive line-up of barnett . These are my options ,,,, this is because Sportsmansguide.com will let you pay for a purchase over a four month period . I just don't have the lump sum to plop down at another retailer . Have you shot any of these ? Thanks .

Oh No Uncle Bill, not the brand wars again LOL. I looked at the slider, nice bow, I liked the fact you can lowerthe stroke hence draw weight, hence velocity for turkeys or just plinking. Think BBO has a Titan.He can prolly fill ya in there. 10 pt's new site has all the prices for their bows and what upgrades are available.I had a Barnett Quad 400 which is close to the Revolution and thought poorly of it. Couldn't get it to group and it had a terrible trigger. If yer choices are between Barnett and 10 pt that's a no-brainer in my book. I just sold my bud's Vixen w/ scope for $250, sorry you missed it. Didn't know Sportsman Guide had 10 pts. Too bad ya can't swing a Phoenix, they are real hard to beat for the money. Good luck!!

Dog,
My recommendation would be to shoot them all and get what feels comfortable. The Titan is a good bow and has been around since 2000. The Slider and Profusion are both new bows for us this year. I would probably lean towards the ProFusion. I like the all camo and the new roller touch trigger.

awshucks ; sorry to hear that your Barrnett quad 400 was not go for you.
my wife and myself have Barrnetts and love them, have no problems getting them to group.JMHO
I had one to start and loved it so I got one for her.they have a great warrenty,just call and they will fix any problem.
one problem the Barrnetts hav is the string rubs the rails , and you have to put a new string on about every two years.

Treeclimber: I know there are lots of folks as tickled w/ their Barnetts as I am w/ my Excals. I sure don't want to offend anybody, but I've had nothing but trouble w/ three of them over the years, and read on alot of forums that others have problems w/ them too. I will say most seem real happy w/ their service dept. My Quad 400 actually blew up in my shop, never really knew why, but have read of it happening to someone else, and Barnett told them it was due to string breaking. You may wanna keep an eye on your string. When it went, it was pretty ugly, there was limbs, cables, and wheels all over my shop floor. I am of the opinion that any xbow made is better than none, so ya'll enjoy whatever ya got!
