    Read a lot of good stuff about them. Picked up a couple at local shop. They look and feel good. I got the Barnett Quad 400 for myself. I like it a lot. Great bow for the money

    I have shot or seen quite a few different crossbows. One thing I noticed about a lot of them is how loud they are. I ended up buying the new Mission Dagger. It is quiet and has a lot of zing on a small frame.

    I am 99% positive I am going with a Missions....just not sure which one ...I can't wait to kill something with it...watch me tag out with my compound before I can use the crossbow... that would suck ;)

    I have shot the MXB360 I believe and it shoots like a crossbow, The only thing I didn't really like is the polymer frame, seems like they used a really rigid, fragile plastic. In the end they look cool though

    What others have you shot that compare in price? Is there one that you would put above the 360?

    I shot the Barnett Vengeance recently and the one thing I noticed right off the bat was the weight difference. Mission really did well with eliminating useless weight on their x-bows. I guess if I would put one above the 360, it would be the 400 lol.

    As me not being a huge x-bow fan, I will say it was a lot of fun shooting the Mission series x-bow.

    Thanks for the info...I am hoping my Dad will be well enough to go this year and I am buying one for him (I will use it when he doesn't go).

    I shoot the mission mxb 400 and love it its awesome and deadly accurate out to 90 yards. Its a yote killing machine . I also have a barnett buck commander that was my first crossbow its a great xbow i let my wife and 2 sons use that one now.

    We got our Dad a Barnett Wildcat C-5. It was priced well, and he has really gotten into it. It's been a good bow for him. And it was worth every penny just to get to spend time with him in the woods. And it's AWESOME to see him when he gets a deer!! It's like watching a little kid on Christmas morning :D

    I shoot a Mission MXB 320...I love it....much lighter and quieter than the TenPoint Titan Extreme. I just recently killed my first hog with it. image.jpg image.jpg

    The dealer told my nephew they were all being sent back for a recall and talked him in to the bowtech brand....his is pretty sweet, but I haven't shot the Missions yet

    I was told the recall on the safety would be retrofitted and serviced via the dealer? At the same time my dealer was suppose to call me when the parts were in and that has been around 2 months.... Anyone heard anything different?

    A buddy called me last night with questions about the Mission Dagger. I have zero experience with X bows so if any one else has shot one or has one please chime in so I can relay the info to him before buying.
