DH here is a great buy from Walmart. It has a trigger tech trigger on it that is worth the price of the bow. Probably cheaper than buying new limbs also.
If you do a search on EBay one can find that crossbow for a lot less money yet.
The problem is, they are obsolete, so this is one reason they are selling so cheap.

The crossbow is imported and another reason why Barnett is making out the Trigger
Tech is worth $200 which it is not. It is a high quality trigger because if one does an
internet search for an exploded view, there are very few parts, so basically nothing to go
wrong.

Wishing you all the best.
Take care.
 
Hmmm, Just looked on eBay and did see one NEW for $220 but the orthers were all used that were cheaper. Maybe because I am in USA and BR is in Canada?
Show me some new Trigger Tech Triggers for less BR.
I was checking on EBay.com which is the U.S. side. The same product if advertised on EBay,ca
costs a lot more money as it still comes from the U.S. providing the seller is willing to ship it.

Lots of items on Ebay state may not ship to Canada. One major reason is several years back,
there was complaints over the cost of shipping, import fees and currency exchange that Canadian
buyers did not realize they had to pay. This got thrown back at the sellers.

As for the Trigger Tech, Barnett crossbows that come with these, are all manufactured overseas.
Labor is the killer here so many companies have switched to over seas or other countries to have
parts manufactured.

The crossbows that Wal Mart in the U.S. that are selling what you mentioned are all manufactured over seas.

For every dollar spent here on an overseas product $6 to $7 is going back in currency exchange.

The more product an importer wishes to purchase with hopes of selling, the cheaper the product can
be purchased for and the cheaper the importer can sell the item for.

Some of the crossbows are selling cheap enough that the importer is not stocking spare parts.

Some products sold in Canada have a sheet in the box stating something like: "Do not return to the
place of purchase but return to the manufacturer or importer which is in the U.S." This lets a lot of
businesses sell items which they do not have to stand behind and forces customers to pay the return
shipping.
Some of the crossbow importers in the U.S. are having up to a month to import limbs which have the
problem of splintering or breaking. Some I have dealt with show what they have in stock when checking
their website on the internet. Some have been out of stock for several months due to as soon as parts
do show up there is such a back log, that none are left to be listed on their site as being in stock.

Wishing you all the best.
Take care.
 
So now you are saying that Barnett (who I believe all their bows come from China) is selling trash bows to Walmart. Interesting seeing how you always champion Barnett. I bet the Walmart bows came in the same shipment from China that went to all Barnett dealers.

I did not say anything about trash bows and am not bragging Barnett bows up either.
Over the years I have had to make modifications and re enforcements to earlier Barnett
crossbows due to errors in manufacture. I no longer purchase any of their crossbows
as there is better quality imports for a lot less money.
Years ago my Barnett Ghost 410 had 2 years warranty left out of their supposedly five years.
Contacting Barnett, "Sorry, no parts available. Suggest buying a new crossbow".

What I said is these discounted crossbows are no longer manufactured so they have
to be sold for newer models coming in.

You have some very high dollar crossbows on the market and some they can not get to
market on time that are not safe to shoot, limbs splintering and or breaking, nocks breaking,
strings and cables only good for very few shots.

To stay on business or be compedative, many companies are forced to purchase or
have products manufactured overseas or in other countries.

Canada went that route many years ago as it was cheaper to get automotive parts etc.
manufactured in the U.S. The U.S has been faced with the same problems for several years.

It is nice to have items manufactured in one's own country but when manufacturing costs
get to high due to the high labor costs, people are not buying.

Take care.
 
The crossbow that you require parts for are no longer manufactured.

EBay.com has the complete crossbow for sale at $350 with no returns.

Another crossbow company I was dealing with, a set of limbs listed for
approximately $120 U.S before any taxes or shipping. Bring that into
Canada I was looking at slightly over $200 Canadian. This was for the
rebranded Rocky Mountain 405 and 415 series. The problem with this
brand are limb failures where they will either sliver or break.

Wishing you all the best.
Take care.
Thanks
