Just picked one of these up for $249. We sighted it in at the store then ran it though their chronograph to see if it really lived up to the 370 advertised speed. Like you, we were getting 360 to 362 consistently. While we were talking about it one of the "experts" came over and put a few drops of hoppy gun oil on each side of the rail and rub it in good. Chronographed it again and we were 374 and 375 on 4 arrows! I have never thought of that but the reduced friction on the rail makes sense and I could not argue with the speed increase!

[@MrMatthewhg]

Inside the rail or outside the rail?

[@michaelpayne8000]

I just bought the upgrade Centerpoint Sniper Elite 385 at Blain's Farm and Fleet last week on clearance for $199.99 marked down from $375.00..First Centerpoint that I've ever owned and can't wait to get out there and fire it..Great video sir..👍😁

[@nitramza861]

I'm sold. Enough said. I have an older tenpoint from 1999 that still performs like a champ. It was the top of the line that year. Only problem is, it only shoots at 315 fps with 400 grains total weight. At 60 yards, I have to aim almost 4 ft above the target. I'm looking to get another one cheap. This looks like the one. Thanks for the great review.

[@lakeeriebrawler1764]

Just picked up the specialist 370xl which is an updated version for $199 and the thing is absolutely amazing for the price. Just like the sniper 370, the repeatability of the this thing is deadly accurate. This is my first crossbow and can’t wait to drop that first buck with it.

[@thepennsylvanian9280]

I just ordered this bow! Your review made the choice easy! Thank you sir

[@Hollowpoint762]

just got mine this mourning comes in around 360 to 370 as advertised went through about 15 -18 shots never dropped below 360 for me, I'm a very happy customer.

[@coydogcaller8903]

I have had my sniper 370 for two years, four deer with it so far. The butt stock made a little noise but just set it where you need it and tape it in place no rattle from the stock. I have no problem shooting 50 yards, very accurate.great bow for the money, better than some bows for 2 to 3 times the money.

[@ronnieduwayne9516]

Had mine for just a as long , and the rattling stock is my complaint as well

[@kevinsloan3019]

Was getting 3 in groups at 50 with mine liked it so well I got another one when my house burned very reliable xbow

Just ordered this for my 13 year old for Christmas! He goes hunting with his uncle, my brother but doesn't have his own bow. And my brother said I chose well!

Excellent review, My Beautiful wife and I just bought one today for 199.00 , this is her first Bow , She's actually from Brazil and this will be her first time hunting with her own bow , Last year she sat with me in our 2 man ladder , I just told her as I'm watching this video , Honey tomorrow lets go get one for me ! 😁😁😁

[@creativespace3077]

$219 today at Cabela's. Test fired it. Was awesome. Came to $199 with credit application. Really like the adjustable stock. Watching your video I learned you can adjust the foregrip. Thank you.

[@mynewfamanda]

I bought mine in Canada for exactly $300.00 in NL (Newfoundland) where they're Illegal for hunting. Stock bolts sucked. All they had were Excalliber carbon bolts at nearly 12.00 each. Great selection of tips, broadhead, deployment heads, bullet heads, 125 grain sharp points. My first time shooting a X bow (always a gun guy)--very impressed with the sniper.

[@whoopdeedo83]

I own this bow and I am happy to say that it is better than anyone I have ever shot or used before. A little bit heavy but it is durable, rugged and comfortable as you can adjust everything to your liking. Snag one if you can.

[@LJTomlinson1]

I bought one from my local Cabela's store this past Dec 4, 2019. It was on sale for $234.99 I had $30.00 coupon and $70.00 reward points to use so I got mine for $134.99 and l've been having a blast ever since. It is accurate, fast. And I can't wait to get a hog, a turkey and a buck in that order.

@@luckeelady26 That's your issue dude. I have one and have never had issues with the grip. Perhaps you don't treat your equipment in a proper manner.

[@somedude3433]

Check the string pressure on the rail, due to the alignment of the bow. I tilted mine downward, raising the cams and nearly eliminating drag. The drawstring is straight instead of crowned over the rail. Shoots faster and more accurate. Used hot glue. Am happy with it

[@jaybird9391]

$179 complete from Walmart right now before Christmas. You cannot beat that deal, you won't regret it!

[@americocoppola773]

I bought a Centerpoint sniper elite 370 whisper which is a version with saver limbs, here in Italy where I live it costs around €350. This crossbow if equipped with hha speed optimizer, bipod, high magnification optics and selected zombie slayer bolt allows groupings under 1 cm at 90 meters, for the price it has it is an incredibile crossbow

[@rickrodrigues2219]

Got me the Center Point Specialist XL 370. The specs are exactly the same. Only difference is the stock (still adjustable) , the quiver is parallel to the stock which I like & the scope is reticle (non illuminated) & works great except I wish it was illuminated. This is a powerful crossbow & will compete with many of the high price bows for "punch & accuracy"!

[@jorivera7335]

Thanks for that nice review Rick. I own a Camo Sniper. Fell in love with it at first site. Was originally looking for a bow. But this crossbow stole my heart. Got mine at Amazon. My only gripe, and it is not with the crossbow. It is the so called manual I got with my sniper. Looked like it was poorly xeroxed, and kind of small. But it isn't hard figuring how to put it together. Enjoy!

[@shooter1721]

+Jo Rivera I will talk to the sales manager at Centerpoint. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for the comment

[@kansaspatriot2051]

It's listed on Amazon for $238 now! This is my third season with mine and I love it. Stay away from the mechanical broadheads and life is good! I dropped a nice Kansas 10 pointer at 25 yards the first week of November this season!

Guy in video: let's try to split a playin' card with a field tip. Me: challenge accepted

[@DJSRCstuff]

This is third season with mine. No complaints at all. Get rid of the stock arrows, they are very inconsistent in weight and accuracy. I use the easton bloodlines with a 100 gr tip and it is very accurate out to 65 yards. Not promoting shooting deer at that distance, but I did take down a coyote at 75 yards with it.

[@shooter1721]

DJSRCstuff Great info !!

[@ronnieduwayne9516]

Use the same with the same results.

[@ronnieduwayne9516]

Only problem is, they are loud

[@DJSRCstuff]

Ronnie, are you meaning the arrows/bolts are loud or the crossbow ? xbows are inherently going to be louder due to the amount of energy being released. Just recently a buddy of mine bought an Excalibur Assasin and he spent around $1600 on it. It is very nice and I love the crank cocking feature. Too both are surprise, it is not really much quieter than my Sniper and it is shooting around 340 fps with a hunting arrow. If your Sniper has any other noise than the thunk from the string, then I would seriously suggest checking all those set allen heads. I did find that mine were working loose, I used a touch of locktite on them. Also the stock is famous for being a bit loose. You can dip the stock slide tube in liquid tape or wrap it, same with boot strap. The stock adjustment lever is also a noise maker, once you get the stock set where you like it. You can lock down that adjustment lever. Sorry forgot the name of them, but I did add some limb sound dampeners. Happy hunting..... DJ

Been shooting crossbow 4 bout 30 years since the Barnett came out with there 150 pound pull crossbow, this bow after being tricked out and tuned, this bow is better than any bow I've had 4 the money, I want to try the airbow, but sticking to convince, 450 to 375 fps is not that much different, pretty much the same amount of damage with no air tank,,, good review

[@shooter1721]

[@DanGoodShotHD]

Right now you can get it in black and camo on amazon prime for $249. One more thing about this, you can swap out the buttstock with any AR buttstock. You can swap out the pistol grip with any AR pistol grip. Also that grip up front can be swapped out for any AR forward picatinny grip. Pretty sweet deal for $249. By the way, you do know we can't answer you... right? 😆

I was looking at this crossbow along with the barnnet whitetail hunter str. I ended up getting the barnnet. I wished I had gotten the sniper instead. I believe I will still get it before season comes in.

We have one and it really is in my opinion the best budget crossbow you can buy.

[@richiebrown9623]

reddog24playa1 I couldn’t find one but I did find a center point patriot 415. I just got it last night . I’m going in a little while to set it up and shoot it and see how it performs. It looks just like the sniper the way it is set up. Hope I’m not disappointed.

[@richiebrown9623]

reddog24playa1 I’m glad I got this crossbow. Long story short I have the bone collector by 400 target and I hit small circles with the black dots in them at 80 yards twice back to back. One on the left top and the other on the right side. I would show the picture but I don’t know how to download it on here. I’m very pleased with the accuracy.

[@reddog24playa1]

Richie Brown that’s awesome, centerpoint seems like a solid brand

[@HuntinwithHattaway]

Would you think this crossbow would be ok for my 6 year old daughter from a ground blind and the front supported by a trigger stick? My concern is if the stock is short enough for her arms.

[@aimeagle]

Now, that's a review. My only wonder is quality over 5+ years. But, at that price you could replace it every 2-3 years and still be ahead versus dropping a grand on a bow. My brother just dropped almost 1k on a centerpoint titan I believe it's called. Shoots the same speed but does have the acudraw system and it's a better scope I would imagine.

[@bobbybell5146]

I'm a bit late to finding this but you are cocking it wrong and need to be careful. The rope rocker hooks should never be on the outside of the string stops. Always hug them close to the flight rail.
