coyote, shot mine for the first time today! Shot great, I have a retired gun smith down the road from me, scale say's trigger is only pulling about 9 pounds. Would still like to know what it would do to warranty if ya don't mind. Don't know anything about X-Bow's except what I learned hear. YES, still have all my fingers!!! What is the best target to shoot these things into? Can tell ya a normal 3D is not it. Like they say if it aint broke, don't fix it!

Just a question Barnett users. What happens if you don't wax every few shots?

Dnk:

I have had a Quad 400 since they first came out. It is my first crossbow. Had a long learning curve with it. If not lubed often,the string will start to go bad in the center where it is seized. The cables will fray in the groove where they cross. Thestring will fray where it goes around the pulleys.

Killed several head of game with mine. It is now semi-retired. Now hunt with a Barnett Revolution XS.

The trigger on the one I had was far above 9 lbs and was my biggest complaint w/ it. I'm glad you found a good smith Yote. These things are under tremendous pressure when cocked and it would be very easy to get in trouble w/ triggers, so a competent smith is the best route to go. I wouldn't worry too much about the warranty, I doubt they would ever know it had been lightened. Barnetts are w/o doubt the most controversial xbow on the market. There are tons of folks that have never had a problem and just love them. Others aren't as fortunate and don't care for them. I read a post on another forum along time ago from someone that worked for them. He described their products completely and gave numerous tips on which models were the least problematic and which had the best triggers. There were only a few that seemed to have the most problems, wish I could find that darn post! I ended up blowing my Quad 400 up, probably due to too light of arrow weight, but I was getting desparate cause it would not group at 20 even w/ stock B-nett arrows. Not bashing, just a word of warning not to go that route!!
