Will this crossbow dispatch a coyote and at what range, plus what type bolts should be used
80277
Most likely, but I wouldn't recommend it for larger game like Coyotes because the bolts will most likely not kill them instantly, and you'll be putting an animal through a lot of pain and suffering. It's more than capable of killing an intruder, but I'm not sure how hard a coyote's skull is, and it will be very difficult to hit it in the heart from a distance further than 20 or 30 feet or so.

These are not hunting bolt heads. These are "target points." Using them for hunting (or as a weapon) is not really effective. It is a cruel thing to wound an animal with this bolt. There are probably sites you can visit that explain what arrows are used for hunting or weapons and why. Here is a site I found that discusses arrowheads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow#Arrowhead .

altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its hard to get em back out from say 25-30 yards. altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its... » Read More altho this crossbow for its size is fun to shoot and it will shoot a ways, i would never recommend shooting a coyote or any other animal with it. for one, its not pin point accurate, and two, if you wound the coyote, you would have to reload it and reshoot the critter. i don't think at the range close enough to hit it, you would have enough time to do that before the coyote got to you. and a wounded one would tear your ass up before you could do that. i like shooting the aluminum bolts that the site offers. they really are heavy and will go into a 2 by piece of wood deep enough that its hard to get em back out from say 25-30 yards. « Show Less

I think only a perfect close range hit would produce a humane kill, and I don't think these have the accuracy or power to do it. I have only found the cheap target bolts that aren't made for hunting.

Yes, but not recommended! At all.....youd have to be really close and shoot it a few times.

I like mussy 125 broadhead with cabela 22 inch bolts but that's for Barnett predator so if your crossbow comes with 20 in bolts stay with it

Yes.....this crossbow is as fast as top of the line bows a mere decade ago that people have been using to kill deer for decades. Running a 425+/- grain carbon bolt at 240 feet per second relates to around 54 ft lbs of Kinetic Energy. More than enough for deer and actually passes into the bottom end of the large game category on many charts.

They do make a reaper for crossbow. Go to grim reaper.com and you can see the different models. Its a great Broadhead and dose its job well. Happy hunting and be safe.

With a 440+/- grain bolt running at the 240 feet per second this bow delivers you have 54 foot pounds of Kinetic Energy. Most experts recommend 41+ to hunt large game such as bear. It certainly has enough but a more powerful bow would perform even better.

Mine did not work on dogs. If you are that close to coyotes, I think you need something else.

As far as the jackal I truly cannot say, But I know this much, you must have a nock on the bolt for a crossbow, and you must be sure to only purchase the correct length bolts for your track size or length. not short, you may! be able to shoot short target bolts but the broadheads must extend out past the track and the track stop or you will have major issues. I did that on my first broadhead shot and it defected up and it was gone, put quite a knick in the cross bar, who knows where that bolt landed..I purchased my Barnet bow from Sportman's Guide and at this second I do not recall the style or name of it. it was a re-curve and I am real happy with it. I had to send a dozen bolts back to Amazon for refund they were too short and did not have a nock. They were flat at the rear. Hope this helps.

I think you will. It was my first crossbow too and I got a nice 7 point buck this season with it. It is accurate and very easy to handle. I recommend buying the String Suppressor and the Dissipator Bars (as a combination) to quiet it down a little bit. After you get use to it, buy the Flemish string too; it will improve the velocity big time. Good luck

Hi Rich,I use it on a bolt action 223, for coyote's, and it works just fine.

By all means Walderez. You should check out the laws in your state first. Some states do not allow crossbow hunting. Check your laws before hunting.

Sorry, I have not seen a limit on these bolts or any of the others that I have purchased. I put them through a crossbow with 165lbs draw and my buddy uses them on a 175lbs. No issues with either. If I am not mistaken, these bolts are manufactured by Easton. I bought a box of Easton XX75 a couple of weeks ago (didn't have time to order the Wicked Ridge), and they also do not have any limitations listed on the packaging or the website. I know this isn't much help, but I haven't had to deal with any higher draw weight crossbows.

Hello Jim, I am pretty sure you can use 20 or 22" bolts, there is room on my crossbow. I would make sure if you are using this for hunting, you practice with the same size bolt and the same weight tips. I am very pleased with my Buck Commander. It assembled very easily, after I watched a couple youtube videos. I am shooting the 20" and they are working fine on the targets. Waiting for next hunting season. They are super fast and after sighted in, they tack the bolts. Do not use more than three at a time, you don't want to Robin Hood the bolt. Good Luck, Bill

Yes , this would take down a person with a properly placed shot. I had 3 sheets of Sheetrock and the bolt went all the way through from about 30 yards. If you miss it takes a few seconds to reload though don't get messed up by a coyote haha. I'm very impressed with this crossbow and the price is crazy cheap.

No. You would have to step up the Marauder .25 for the coyote, but this gun will drop a squirrel, and a rabbit easily.

I doubt it very much but I am sure they have one that will work but I rather doubt that you need one for that crossbow, it should not be that hard to cock.

My son's crossbow is the Inferno Fury II which has a 175# draw and came with 16" bolts. These work fine in his crossbow. I would check your owner's manual or contact Barnett.

I agree with "daddyo". I will be hunting with Arrow Precision 6 Pack Carbon Arrows (20-Inch) tipped with G5 Outdoors T3 100 Grain 3 Pack Crossbow Broadhead. With the bolts and tips that came with it I am hitting groups the size of my fist at 25 yards and the last time I was firing it I actually "Robin Hooded" one of my bolts. Split the end of the bolt with another bolt. Very cool story but terribly unfortunate for my bolt count.
