Help w/Barnett Wildcat
Hey all,
I seem to be having a problem with my new Barnett WildcatC5.
When I c**k it(with a Barnett Rope C**king Device) the string travels
back evenly,but as soon as it is locked it cants off to one side(the right)It is noticeably off by the the string marking. I have tried pulling very slowly,watching carefully for any off-center pulling,but like I said,it's straight until it actually locks in place. I checked the tiller and everything is even and aligned. Any advice? TIA

Welcome to the site!! I don't think that can happen, but.... Try a dab of white out in the center of the serving. When it gets locked and ****ed it should be in the center still!! If you see it off to one side, then take it back and get warranty. Or you might try calling the mfg. Just to make sure that this is what you are doing!! You put the 2 hooks on either side, one on one side and the other well the other side. The rope is below the scope on the stock notch, the handles in your hands and you pull up and lock the string in place. I have to ask!!

Like above post, if you mark both sides of the string serving even w/ rail at rest, use a rope c0cker, and they aren't even when c0cked, it's a warranty issue.

Thank you
Thanks to all the replies. I kinda figured it might be a cam issue. I'll
contact Barnett tomorrow,see what they say. One thing,when the bow is at rest,the cross of the cable that goes under the stock
is off to one side. Don't know if this makes a difference,but I will mention it. Thanks again for the help.

It sounds like a timing problem. If you can take it to a crossbow friendly pro shop than they can check the timing. Otherwise it sounds like a limb issue (missmatched weight limbs) and you will need to return the bow to Barnett. The WC is their best bow (least problematic and lightest) IMO.
