I am an avid deer hunter who mostly hunts with a rifle or muzzleloader. I recently decided to purchase a crossbow to extend my hunting season on my lease in Georgia. After doing a lot of research online and looking at the various models available at Bass Pro Shops and several other sporting goods stores I elected to go with the Barnett Ghost 360. It was very easy to set up, and after only about 6 shots had the scope dialed in dead on for the first circle at 20-25 yards. The scope has a total of 7 aiming points with 3 circles, 3 dots, and the bottom post. It is dead on up to 25 yards using the first circle, and then in order it hits the bullseye using the other aiming points at 30, 35, 40, 45, 50-55, and then 60 yards using the post. As a lot of other reviewers stated, it is extremely accurate and my first group at 60 yards was about 2 1/2". The scope also comes with the option of lighted dots for use in low light conditions. Some of the reviews I read said the scope was not very good, but I disagree. Of all the others I looked at, this one was my favorite. Just make sure it comes with the 'Premium Lighted scope' and you can't go wrong. Found this bow package on ebay for a great price, and all in all I am very satisfied with my purchase.Read full review

My first crossbow was a Wildcat C5. I more or less stumbled into getting it, as I had never even held a crossbow before buying it. It was the only crossbow the local archery shop had, so I bought it, wanting to hunt with a bow, but not having a lot of experience with a standard bow either. I figured a crossbow would be a good way to transition from my rifle. Anyway the C5 served me well for a couple of years. I never failed to get a deer. Then the wife decided she wanted to hunt this year. So, I handed down my C5 to her, and bought the Ghost. Definitely a step up in speed from the C5. I find it a little easier to shoot freehand, as the balance is a touch better. The CRT really helps in this department. Construction overall is on par with much higher priced crossbows, in my opinion. Its fairly quiet, and doesn't lurch at all when fired. Manufacturer's packaging was great, everything in it's place. A full and complete package with bow, arrows (with tips), scope, cocking rope, and even a small tube of rail/string lube. I like not having the stirrup sticking out in front. Its just a mean looking weapon..lol Its a great bow, and a better value!Read full review

Hey... You know what I am probably a lot like you I work hard for my money and there is never enough to go around. But sometimes you get a little extra money and you decide and go ahead and buy something that you have been wanting for a while. Well after months of looking and comparing crossbows of all makes and models the Barnett Ghost 360 gives me the most value and reliability for the money I spent. I am 61 years old now and have hunted with stick and string all my life. But it was time to try the crossbow for hunting. This Ghost shot well right out of the box. First shot at 20 yards hit 10 o'clock on 4 inch bullseye. 3 shots later I was hitting a golf ball center bulls eye. I am really looking forward to getting after those big bucks this year. The Ghost is made well and has that great quality look and feel. I would give this bow a 5 star rating compared to all the other crossbows that are priced much higher.Read full review

I have had the xbow now for 4 months. I have shot it 100-150 times. It performs today as good as it did right out of the box. I shot the supplied Arrows through a chronograph and can only get about 340 fps, not the advertised 360 fps. However, 340 fps is plentry fast enough. At 30 yards the arrow past right through a deer, rib to rib shot and buried out of sight in the dirt. I was 25 feet high and the arrow did not slide under the top of the dirt, it was at a steep angle buried in the dirt in an oak bottom/pine area. The ease of control is good, weigh distribution is very good. The trigger is a bit long in the pull but the poundage to pull it is very usable, especially when shooting at game. Much less noticeable on the pull than target shooting. The scope supplied could be better, in bright daylight it is fine, in low light it does not draw a lot of light. The luminated reticle is too bright even on the lowest setting and is very hard to see past when in low light. I would buy it again if I had too.Read full review

I have had excellent Barnett products in the past and the Ghost 360 is no acceptation. I haven't had it long enough for field testing but on the back yard range it shoots 10X time after time. It shoots such a tight group at 20 yards that I don't shoot two bolts at the same bull to avoid knock and vane damage. I bought it as a kit and assembled it myself. It goes together quickly and easily. The only surprise was the cocking force required. Just a bit much for me, so I installed a CCD, Crank Cocking Device. The CCD install easily also. I had to replace one of the 4-40 screws in the CCD kit that was slightly damaged, but the Ghost kit had extra screws, so no problem.
