Overview
Barnett's Explorer series sits between the beginner-focused Recruit XP and the brand's premium lineup, and the XP370 is the entry point — 370 FPS from a 165 lb draw weight, which is a notably lighter pull than the 180-210 lb draw weights common on other budget crossbows here. That makes it a reasonable middle ground for hunters who want more speed than the Recruit XP without the harder cocking pull of the fastest budget options.
It carries over Barnett's TriggerTech trigger system — the same trigger technology used in the brand's higher-end crossbows — along with an adjustable butt stock, illuminated red dot scope, and side-mount quiver in the ready-to-hunt package. Early reviews are strong (4.3 stars, 74% five-star), though the sample is still small at 13 reviews since it's a newer addition to Barnett's lineup, and one reviewer reported a limb failure after limited use, which is worth keeping in mind and inspecting for before your first hunt. At 12 lbs it's also the heaviest crossbow in our budget lineup, so it favors stand and blind hunters more than those covering ground on foot.
